Xbox Game Pass Update: Core, Standard Tiers Face Up To 12-Month Wait For New Releases
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) confirmed that subscribers to the Core and Standard tiers of the service might face extended wait times — up to 12 months or more — before gaining access to first-party titles previously available on the day of release.
微軟公司(NASDAQ:MSFT)確認,服務的核心和標準版訂閱用戶在獲得首發遊戲的時間上可能面臨長時間等待——最多達到12個月或更長時間。
This revelation marks a substantial shift from what Xbox Game Pass users have come to expect. Previously, all Game Pass subscribers enjoyed access to Xbox's first-party titles on the day of release.
這一揭示標誌着Xbox Game Pass用戶對此的預期發生了重大變化。以前,所有Game Pass訂閱用戶都可以在首發日接觸到Xbox的首發遊戲。
However, with the introduction of these new tiers, that benefit will now be limited to subscribers of the higher-priced Ultimate ($20/month) and PC ($12/month) tiers.
然而,隨着這些新的層級的引入,這一權益現在將僅限於高價位的Ultimate(20美元/月)和PC(12美元/月)層級的訂閱用戶。
These plans also include Electronic Arts Inc's (NASDAQ:EA) EA Play membership, further distinguishing them from the more affordable Core ($10/month) and Standard ($15/month) options.
這些計劃還包括藝電公司(NASDAQ:EA)的EA Play會員資格,進一步區別於更經濟實惠的Core(10美元/月)和Standard(15美元/月)選項。
The Core tier offers a curated catalogue of 25 "high-quality games on console," while the Standard tier boasts "hundreds of high-quality games on console."
核心層級提供了一個由25個「主機上高質量遊戲」組成的精選目錄,而標準層級則擁有「數以百計的主機上高質量遊戲」。
Despite this, neither tier will grant immediate access to Xbox's latest releases.
儘管如此,這兩個層級都不會立即獲得Xbox最新遊戲的訪問權。
"Some games coming to Game Pass Ultimate (day one games or other game entries) will not be immediately available with Game Pass Standard and may be added to the library at a future date (can be up to 12 months or more and will vary by title)," Megan Spurr, Xbox Game Pass's senior community lead, detailed in an Xbox Wire post.
「一些即將進入Game Pass Ultimate(首發遊戲或其他遊戲項目)的遊戲將不會立即在Game Pass Standard上可用,並可能在以後的某個日期(可能最多達到12個月或更長時間,並會因遊戲而異)加入到遊戲庫中,」Xbox Game Pass的高級社區負責人Megan Spurr在Xbox Wire的一篇文章中詳細解釋道。
This change is expected to influence how gamers choose their subscriptions, particularly as Microsoft has yet to confirm when the new Standard tier will become available.
預計這一變化將影響玩家選擇他們的訂閱方式,尤其是因爲微軟尚未確認新的標準層級將在何時推出。
