Gamepass in general is a huge mess right now. I saw recently where Jez was talking about how the new Xbox Gamepass Standard tier, which replaced the Xbox Gamepass Console tier (except for current subs whose Gamepass console tier benefits are grandfathered) has less games than the Gamepass Console tier it replaced. $4 a month more than the tier it replaced, less games.

The sooner this generation ends, the better honestly. Once Xbox gets the long rumored next-gen PC-console hybrids released, the sooner they can simplify Gamepass by making everything between console and PC even and equal.

I wasn't even aware of these tier changes, noticed the price change though and I'm not sure if it's even worth subscribing anymore. My kids still play but mostly Fortnite & Palworld atm. 

PC-console hybrid would make sense but everything equal? You think they'd get rid of paid online for this machine? Not holding my breath on that one..

If it has dual boot Xbox and Windows OS as rumored, people could just pay for PC gamepass and play that on the Windows OS, wouldn't really make sense for them to keep charging extra for online play on the Xbox Store and Xbox OS, all it would do is force most gamers to spend money on alternative Windows Storefronts like Steam and Epic Store and GOG and then Xbox would lose out on their 30% cut from software as well. Either they will make everyone pay for online, or nobody imo.
