Coming up on this week's episode of Unlocked IGN's weekly Xbox show, Microsoft has raised Xbox GamePass prices substantially.

Well, one tier. It's the tier you care most about. So we'll talk all about that, as well as the final pricing on the Xbox Rog Ally and the Rog Ally X,

and EA's $55 billion acquisition deal.

So a lot of money stuff to talk about this week.

Stay tuned.

This is Steve Downs, the voice of Master Chief, Sierra 117,

and you're listening to Podcast Unlocked, the world's number one Xbox podcast.

Now, finish this fight.

Master Chief, out.

What's happening, friends?

Are your wallets feeling empty yet?

They will by the end of this episode.

Welcome to Unlocked.

It's episode 709.

We're publishing this on October 2nd, 2025.

We're recording it on October 1st, 2025.

And boy, Xbox has a big month ahead with Ninja Guide and

Keeper and The Outer Worlds 2, but it's going to cost you.

We're going to talk all about that in a couple minutes, but first, let me say hi to my friends

and castmates. Miranda Sanchez, how are you? I am doing well. How about you? Well, well, but also

just kind of annoying. Let's circle back at the end of the episode. We'll check back in and see how you're doing. Michael, hi, I'm, hello, my friend. Howdy, I lost my wallet over the weekend, so I ain't buying nothing. So you can hike these prices all you want, baby. I ain't buying a damn thing. Oh, man. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope, hopefully nobody found it and tried to use your cards. Well, guess what jokes on then? There ain't nothing in that account. That's right. Maxed out. All right. Yeah. I'm Ryan McCaffrey, and this is Unlocked 709. We're here to talk about all things Xbox. There is a lot to talk about this week.

None of it's really good.
