The question now is if Microsoft can both retain Game Pass subscribers and gain new ones. Sure, you’re missing out on Starfield sales, but a Game Pass subscriber who thinks they’re getting that game “for free” is still paying $160+ a year in reality (of course they have access to the full Game Pass catalogue, but still). You can see why Microsoft doesn’t care all that much about console or game sales anymore if they can keep grabbing Game Pass Ultimate sign-ups which simply print money. It may be less than that through bundle prices, but then add that other 30% from lower price subscriptions, and you’re getting around that $1 billion subscription revenue per quarter number that was recently reported, or $4 billion a year.
This costs £10.99 / $14.99 / €14.99 per month and, for that, you also get access to more than 300 Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and original Xbox games, 200 games for PC, Xbox Live Gold (required for online play on an Xbox machine), and Microsoft's cloud gaming platform.Either way, these Game Pass share numbers reveal that if let’s say there’s 70% overall adoption rate for Game Pass Ultimate across all subscriptions to the service, of those 25 million, 17.5 million would have Ultimate, and that’s $297.5 million a month in revenue. However, the most cost-effective solution might be to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. It is exactly the same price for standalone EA Play membership on an Xbox console as it is on PlayStation - £3.99 / $4.99 / €3.99 per month or £19.99 / $29.99 / €24.99 for 12 months. EA Play on Xbox One / Xbox Series X / Xbox Series S
It's a simple proposition and can be purchased through the PS4 or PS5 itself - via a dedicated EA Play app. It works slightly differently depending on the platform. Paying for an entire year's membership works out a lot cheaper - around 50 per cent cheaper, in fact - but you might prefer a smaller monthly payment. You can pay for EA Play either monthly or annually.
