Xbox Live Games With Gold games for February 2021 revealed, alongside monthly price increase

Sony still lagging behind.

 

At this point, 1 month of Gold should just be replaced with Game Pass since they cost exactly the same.

 

1 month gold is still 4 dollars cheaper than 1 month of gamepass ultimate so theres that at least.

 

Greedy bastards

 

just another way to force people into gamepass

 

Dandara is super worth it, finished it in around 9 hours and recommend everyone to try it out.

 

There is an error from the original article in the quote and blurb before it. It says Breakdown however it should say Lost Planet 2. The game description and platform and hyperlinks are correct.

Breakdown was January and is an Original Xbox title.

On the games themselves, this a good month's selection to say the least. Anyone who doesn't have Game Pass can enjoy Gears 5 which has a Series X|S upgrade as well.

 

Only a fool would have an xbox without game pass at this point.

 

So, are you able to just stock up on the 12 month subscriptions now? I seem to remember being able to activate multiple instances of 1 years and they'd just stack - does it still do that?

 

Welp. They know their hardware platform is dying. If they start charging for PC Online Play, it's over.

Gamepass is a fine service, but it's most definitely not for everyone.

 

So XBOX Live Gold is now $120 a year?

Jesus fuck.

 

I'd pay that much for something useful.. Like a security service. Or even a VPN. Not an Online multiplayer subscription service. This is ridiculous.

 

Steam gang

 

It's also a way of pushing up the price if Game Pass (although not yet).

They're stopping people getting in cheaper, then faze out Live, then gradually push up Game Pass.

 

I like how they still support previous gens with „free“ games - shame on sony for dropping ps3 and psv +Titles.

 

Bum Deal...

 

Remember when you could get an entire year of Gold for $59.99? Gotta love that subtle price doubling.

At this point there's really no reason to subscribe to Gold individually; Game Pass Ultimate is a mere $4 more per month, and has such a hilariously higher value. Which I'm sure is the point, from Microsoft's perspective.

 

I have no reason to believe at this point there would be an Xbox Live Gold subscription for new subscribers in a year. Instead, I expect to see current subscribers converted to Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate at grandfathered pricing with Gold retired outright.

 

Only a true fool would have an Xbox in the first place, considering its "exclusives" also work on PC, and its controllers have always been horribly designed.
I don't know anything about the Game Pass, though; never bought it. Can you play Banjo & Kazooie through it? I've kinda always wanted to play the updated port...
