Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Sets New Price At $19.99: Day One Releases Exclusive To Premium Tier
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) has recently announced changes to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service, which will see significant price increases and the restructuring of its tiers.
微軟股份有限公司（納斯達克：MSFT）最近宣佈了對Xbox Game Pass訂閱服務的改變，這將看到價格顯著增加以及分層結構的重組。
This move, detailed on Xbox Support, comes alongside a notable omission: day one releases, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, will no longer be included in the standard Xbox Game Pass tier.
這一舉措，在Xbox支持上詳細說明，伴隨着一個顯著的遺漏，那就是首日發售的遊戲，如《使命召喚：黑色行動6》將不再包含在標準Xbox Game Pass版本中。
Revamped Pricing And Subscription Tiers
改版的定價和訂閱分層
Starting on Wednesday, for new members and September 12, 2024, for existing members, the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will rise from $16.99 to $19.99 per month in the U.S.
從2021年9月15日起，對於新會員和2024年9月12日之前的會員，Xbox Game Pass Ultimate的價格將從每月16.99美元上漲至19.99美元。
This premium tier will continue to offer the most comprehensive access to games, including day one releases, EA Play, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and other perks.
這個高級分層會繼續提供最全面的遊戲訪問權限，包括首日發售、EA Play、Xbox Cloud Gaming，以及其他的特權。
In contrast, the more affordable Xbox Game Pass Standard, priced at $14.99 per month, will not include day one releases or certain other features found in the Ultimate tier.
相比之下，更實惠的Xbox Game Pass標準版售價爲每月14.99美元，將不包括首日發售或某些其他在尊享版中找到的特色功能。
This restructured tier replaces the previous $10.99 Xbox Game Pass Console option, which catered to users who primarily play on Xbox consoles without the additional benefits of PC games or cloud gaming.
這個重組的分層取代了之前面向主要在Xbox主機上游戲且沒有PC遊戲或雲遊戲附加優惠的10.99美元的Xbox Game Pass主機版。
How The Xbox Game Pass Changes Affect Subscribers
Xbox Game Pass的變化對訂閱用戶的影響
For those who wish to play new releases as soon as they are available, the only option will be the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tier. Microsoft's statement on the matter was brief, noting that titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 "may be added to the library at a future date," without guaranteeing their inclusion.
對於那些希望儘早玩新遊戲的玩家，唯一的選擇將是Xbox Game Pass尊享版。微軟就此事的聲明很簡短，指出像《使命召喚：黑色行動6》這樣的遊戲"可能會在未來加入庫中"，但沒有保證其包含。
Other tiers are also seeing price adjustments. PC Game Pass will increase from $9.99 to $11.99 per month, while the most basic tier, Xbox Game Pass Core, will see its annual price rise from $59.99 to $74.99, though it will remain at $9.99 per month for those who prefer monthly billing.
其他分層也在進行價格調整。PC Game Pass的價格將從每月9.99美元上漲至11.99美元，而最基礎的Xbox Game Pass Core則將其年度價格從59.99美元上漲至74.99美元，不過對於那些更喜歡按月結算的用戶，它將保持在每月9.99美元。
Additionally, users will now only be able to pre-pay for Xbox Game Pass for Console for up to 13 months, a change aimed at simplifying the management of subscriptions.
此外，用戶現在只能預付最多13個月的Xbox Game Pass主機版，這一變化旨在簡化訂閱管理。
