1. so core would no longer have monthly games?1. Correct. Gets updated "2-3 times a year"
2. at $9.99 a month cost will have doubled?
3. the price to feature between "core" and "console" is massively lopsided.
in summary: looks like MS's growing monopoly of video game publishers is already showing how terrible it will be for customers. can't use their console without an overpriced subscription. MS might as well just eliminate core entirely and put mp gaming into gamepass. would be less anger inducing than this.
2. Xbox Live's monthly cost was $10, $5 average if you bought the yearly pass. It's still $60/year for that pass.
3. All depends on whether you are getting the monthly or the yearly. Not sure if GamePass Console has a yearly subscription?
