Microsoft will very soon increase the price of the Xbox Game Pass subscription and its Xbox Series X consoles. The price increase will be effective in the month of July and for almost all countries in the world, here are the details.
It’s official, the price of Xbox Game Pass is going up everywhere!
After raising its prices for professionals earlier this year, Microsoft is now attacking direct consumers. A price increase for controllers is already planned, and it is the Xbox Series X consoles and the Xbox Game Pass that will increase from July 6. The price of the PC Game Pass will not increase.
The price increase affects almost all countries in the world. As the table below shows, prices are increasing in Europe and Canada, but not in Norway, Chile, Denmark, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia.
The price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in Europe thus goes from €12.99 to €14.99 and the price of Xbox Game (console) goes from €9.99 to €10.99.
In Canada, the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate goes from $16.99 to $18.99 and the price of Xbox Game (console) goes from $11.99 to $12.99.
TRICK
With the imminent price increase, now is the best time to take advantage of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate trick at €82 for 3 years instead of €450!
If you’re already a monthly Game Pass subscriber, these new recurring prices won’t go into effect until August 13, or September 13 in Germany. New Xbox Game Pass members will see the new prices starting July 6. If you subscribed to Xbox Game Pass through an annual code, the new prices will not go into effect until you renew your subscription.
The price of the Xbox Series X is also increasing!
As Sony did last year with its PS5, Microsoft will also increase the price of the Xbox Series X console in most countries outside of the United States, Japan, Chile, Brazil and Colombia.
In Europe, the Xbox Series X will drop to €559.99 from August. It will drop to $649.99 in Canada and £479.99 in the UK. The price of the Xbox Series S is not going to change.
“We have maintained our pricing for consoles for many years and adjusted them to reflect competitive conditions in each market,” Kari Perez, head of communications for Xbox, said in a statement to The Verge. He also clarified that the Xbox Game Pass price hike had nothing to do with the Activision Blizzard takeover.
You can buy an Xbox Series X at €499.99 for a few more days via our price comparison below.
