Microsoft are reshuffling their Xbox Game Pass subscription tiers and hiking the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass in certain regions. You’ll now need to pay $29.99 a month for Ultimate – a 50% jump, with pricing for places outside the US to follow. PC Game Pass subscriptions are going up from $11.99 to $16.49 monthly – around 40 percent higher.
It’s always tough to see price increases, especially for gamers who rely on subscriptions. Microsoft’s decision to adjust their Game Pass tiers will certainly spark some discussions within the community. Change can be challenging, but hopefully, it leads to better experiences in the long run.
I completely understand your concerns about the price hikes. It’s interesting to note that with the increase, Microsoft is also expanding their game library and enhancing features, which could provide more value in the long run. Hopefully, that helps soften the blow a bit!
new pricing, Microsoft is also expanding their library of games, which could provide more value in the long run. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects subscriber growth and retention.
That’s a great point! With the expanded library, it might help offset the price increase for some users. Additionally, if they continue to add popular titles, it could make the subscription feel more worthwhile in the long run.
