Microsoft has responded to FTC criticism of its planned price increases and changes to the Game Pass subscription service, saying its new entry-level product offers more value, not less.
Microsoft Game Pass subscription prices are rising across the board and the FTC isn't happy about it, says Microsoft is exercising its market power post-merger with Activision-Blizzard.
Microsoft announced the abolition of the Xbox Game Pass for Console to be replaced by a future Standard tier and a price increase of $5 for Game Pass, an ultimate total of $19.99 per month, instead of its current $14.99.
