We all knew it was coming. Game pass gets a price increase and a new more expensive tier for day 1 games.

I honestly can't imagine paying $20/month for it. PC game pass will still get day 1 games at $12/month (was $10 before this) but it's still not great value, and the trend of where this is going is so obvious that I wouldn't want to bother using it anyways.

Last day 1 game I tried to play on game pass was starfield, and the queue was so long everytime I tried to play I was unable to play for hours and stopping using the service all together which sucks because I have another year or more left.

Apologies for being out of the loop, but... queue? Isn't it single-player? Or were they throttling downloads?

Probably Streaming instead of downloading the game.
