I’ve been an XGP user since day one and have always had Ultimate. For a few months, they had a family XGP plan that gave up to five friends or family members access to Ultimate for around the same price as a single subscription today. It was short-lived, and they didn’t even notify users when they discontinued it—they just cancelled the subscription altogether, and you had to sign up again. If they brought back something similar at a good price, I’d definitely be keen—something like five passes for the price of three. It would also make sense to combine subscriptions from properties they already own, like Call of Duty, Halo Infinite, or even World of Warcraft, which still has over 12 million subscribers. I also wonder how many Fortnite Crew members converted to XGP when Fortnite was added to Ultimate. If WoW were added, I’m sure a lot of those players—especially when they’re waiting on weekly or monthly quest—could jump into games like Minecraft or Forza etc on the side. I’d even come back to WoW myself if it was included in XGP Ultimate. Instead, we got Fortnite—but to be fair, I did end up getting back into it after it was added. In fact, I play it pretty religously now. Still, Xbox owns a huge number of IPs they haven’t fully tapped into with XGP. I still think it's the best value for money when it comes to gaming.
