People Canceling Their Xbox Game Pass Subscriptions Are Getting Hit With Ads

On October 1st, Microsoft announced a significant price increase for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate – a jump of $10 per month, representing a 50% rise.

Okay, so as a fellow Borderlands player, let me explain what’s going on with Vex. My Infinite Bleed build centers around using her Bloodletter Skill alongside a Throwing Knife that has a Penetrator Augment on it. In Borderlands 4, this combo can be *insanely* effective – it’s a bit reliant on luck, but it lets me take down bosses super fast, sometimes even in a single hit!
