Xbox Game Pass reveals controversial change to stacking memberships

Microsoft has implemented a controversial change to Xbox Game Pass that will no doubt annoy a lot of its active subscribers and rightly so, in my opinion.

Regardless of the tier that you may subscribe to,Xbox Game Passis good value for money offering a plethora of popular AAA titles, indie darlings, retro classics and some day-one releases. That being said, another controversial changeregarding day one releases on Xbox Game Passhas also been implemented which will make the subscription service a lot less appealing.

The word “stacking” is often used in relation to PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. While each offers good value for money, it can still be quite expensive whether we pay monthly, quarterly or yearly.

At least once or twice a year,SonyandMicrosoftwill offer big discounts for year subscriptions to PlayStation Plus andXboxGame Pass, and to save money in the long run, we might pay for one, two, three or more yearly subscriptions. Those advanced subscription payments will then be stacked on top of one another, meaning that we’ve not got to worry about paying for the subscription for maybe two or three years.

The only plus side of this news is that if you already have your Xbox Game Pass subscription stacked for over 13 months, you won’t be affected. This will only have an impact on those who attempt to stack after 13 September, and if you do, there’s a chance that your additional subscriptions may be lost in the Microsoft vortex.
