On Reddit, a gamer with the nickname nyanbatman explained his departure: after many years with Xbox, he made a decision. The last straw was the recent Game Pass subscription price increase.
In his post, he wrote: "It was great, Xbox, thanks for 24 years of gaming, but I'm leaving. I can't support Microsoft's decisions, which I perceive as punishment. Time to fully switch to PS." His story reflects the dissatisfaction of many fans.
The recent price increase for Game Pass has caused a wave of complaints and cancellations. After two price increases, the Xbox Series X consoles became more expensive, and the subscription cost also rose by almost 50%.
Players are comparing alternatives: "PS Plus Premium offers more games and costs only $175 a year," noted user YellowOne5358. Memes and jokes about the "decline of the service" are being published on X (hashtag #GamePass). Others advise abandoning Xbox completely: "Ditch Game Pass, sell the console, and switch to PC."
