I think Xbox console players really should make a stink about the price/features difference for Gamepass between console and PC though. It is mindblowing that Gamepass PC is the same price as this new console Gamepass Core tier, yet has the full Gamepass library and the full EA Play library, while the Console Gamepass tier, costs $1 a month more than PC gamepass yet lacks both multiplayer and EA Play. PC Gamepass subs then are getting access to about 17x more games than Xbox Gamepass Core subs for the same price per month, and they are getting multiplayer and EA Play for $7 a month less than console users. That is simply a ripoff, Xbox console owners shouldn't have to feel like 2nd class citizens within their own gaming ecosystem.
Xbox fans need to make as big a stink about this as they did about XBL Gold price doubling a couple years ago, they made such a big stink about that price increase that Microsoft reversed course in about 1 day. Xbox fans have power as long as they make enough noise. At the very least the Gamepass Console tier should include multiplayer, you shouldn't have to pay $6 a month more to get multiplayer on console. If they don't think a $1 price gap between Core and Console tier is enough in that scenario, which it really isn't enough, then rebalance the pricing on those two tiers, drop Core down to maybe $7 or $8 a month, and maybe increase Gamepass console up to $12 a month, I'm sure most current Gamepass subs would be ok with a $1 a month price increase if it meant they got access to multiplayer without going all the way up to Ultimate at $17 a month.
