Gamers have been hunting for Xbox Game Pass codes outside of official sources this week following recent price hikes, with many turning to resellers in an effort to grab a bargain and a code for the older platform before they’re forced to migrate to the new version of the platform.
The Xbox Game Pass price increase is pathetic
Xbox Game Pass has been touted and marketed as the best deal in gaming since its launch in June 2017. It was hard to beat the suggested $60 USD per year for access to every game on the platform, along with the promise of new titles on day one. Now, as prices skyrocket and day one access is no longer guaranteed, players are flocking to reseller sites.
Reseller sites like CDKeys are seeing a spike in Game Pass sales this week as many rush to get their hands on a pass that uses the old system. Players who previously purchased older versions of Game Pass are essentially exempt from the current version as long as they don’t cancel their membership. Additionally, the older version of the Game Pass subscription on these sites was already being sold for the old price of the service.
Sites like CDKeys have already purchased codes for the older version of Game Pass, so players looking to get the most bang for their buck are flocking to these resellers to skip the new version of Game Pass. This can’t go on forever, though.
