Microsoft Raises Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price and Introduces New Standard Tier

Hello my awesome followers! Today, I have some interesting news to share with you all. Microsoft is making some changes to its Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription service.

Starting in September, the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will be increasing to $19.99 a month, up from the current $16.99 a month. This price hike will also affect PC Game Pass subscribers, who will see their monthly fee go up to $11.99 from $9.99.

If you’re wondering how these price changes will impact you based on your location, Microsoft has provided a list of worldwide price adjustments for your reference.

These price increases are coming just in time for Microsoft to add new games, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, to the Game Pass service later this year. The majority of these changes will affect Ultimate subscribers, who make up the bulk of Game Pass users.

In addition to the price hikes, Microsoft will be introducing a new subscription option called Xbox Game Pass Standard for $14.99 a month. This tier will not include day-one access to first-party Xbox games and will be available to new users in the coming months.

Existing Xbox Game Pass for Console subscribers will continue with their current subscription, but new subscribers will have to wait until the new Standard option is available before signing up for the console option.

These changes have been in the works for a while now, with Microsoft hinting at a potential price increase as they considered adding Call of Duty to the Game Pass service. It seems like these adjustments are necessary to support the addition of new games and features to the platform.
