Heads Up, Malaysian Gamers: Xbox Game Pass Price Increase Announced

Hold onto your controllers, Malaysian gamers! Microsoft has recently announced a price increase for the PC version of Xbox Game Pass in Malaysia. This news comes just a few months after the service launched locally in 2022, offering a “Netflix for games” experience at a competitive price point.

PC Game Pass Xbox

Previously, the monthly subscription fee for Xbox PC Game Pass stood at RM15. This budget-friendly price point was a major selling factor for Malaysian gamers, especially compared to individual game purchases. However, starting from July 10th, 2024, new subscribers will be charged a revised price of RM20 per month. Existing subscribers will see the price hike reflected in their subscriptions starting from September 12th, 2024. This increase seems to be affecting markets worldwide.

Unfortunately, Microsoft hasn’t provided any official reasons for the price increase specific to the Malaysian market. However, on a global scale, Xbox has been steadily adding high-profile titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to its Game Pass library, potentially contributing to rising content acquisition costs.

Despite the price bump, Xbox Game Pass still offers a compelling value proposition for many gamers. With access to a vast library of downloadable titles, including day-one releases from Microsoft Studios, the service remains a cost-effective way to explore a wide variety of games. Additionally, Game Pass includes perks like online multiplayer access and discounts on in-game purchases for select titles.

While Xbox Game Pass remains a leader in the subscription service space, Malaysian gamers do have other options. Competitors like PlayStation Now offer similar libraries, although their availability in Malaysia might be limited. Additionally, some publishers like Electronic Arts have their own subscription services, granting access to specific game catalogs.

The price increase for Xbox Game Pass in Malaysia might sting a bit, but the service still offers good value for gamers who enjoy variety and the convenience of a large downloadable library. However, it’s worth considering your gaming preferences and comparing options before making a decision. Keep in mind, that existing subscribers have a two-month grace period before the new price kicks in. So, this might be a good time to re-evaluate your gaming needs and decide if Xbox Game Pass continues to be the right fit for your budget.

The Analogue Pocket’s Aluminium Limited Edition is an Expensive Hit of Gameboy Nostalgia

Many millennial gamers would recall having their own Nintendo Gameboy handheld. In recent years, a number of companies have made a name for themselves creating handheld gaming devices that come with a heavy serving of nostalgia. One of these companies is Analogue. The company has become renowned for its nostalgia-fueled Pocket handheld console.

The company has recently unveiled a limited-edition series that oozes sophistication – the Aluminum Limited Editions. Ditching the standard plastic shell, these new Pockets boast a sleek and sturdy precision-machined aluminium chassis, transforming the device into a premium collector’s item.

The Aluminum Limited Editions of the Analogue Pocket go beyond aesthetics. Crafted from high-grade, solid billet 6061 aluminium, these Pockets exude a sense of quality and durability. Imagine the classic Game Boy design, but sculpted from a luxurious, cool-to-the-touch metal – a far cry from the original’s utilitarian plastic. This build quality should ensure your cherished retro games are enjoyed for years to come.

The Analogue Pocket Aluminium Limited Editions are also beautifully designed. Analogue offers the Pocket in four distinct anodized finishes: Natural, Noir (dark grey), Black, and Indigo. The Natural option stays true to the raw aluminium look, while the other colours provide a touch of understated elegance. The Indigo hue, in particular, evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the Atomic Purple colour scheme of the beloved Game Boy Color.

Despite the luxurious makeover, the core functionality of the Pocket remains unchanged. It retains its ability to play a wide range of retro cartridges from various consoles with the help of additional adapters (sold separately). The powerful internals ensure smooth gameplay and flawless emulation, making it a joy to revisit classic titles.

Pricing & Availability

Here’s the not-so-retro part: the Aluminum Limited Editions come at a premium price tag. Each unit retails for a hefty $499.99 (approximately RM2,220). Considering the standard Pocket starts at $220 (approximately RM970), the aluminium upgrade comes at a significant cost.
