Nonetheless, it might be time to secure your Game Pass subscriptions as soon as possible and as far into the future as you can. We’ve held on our prices for consoles for many years and have adjusted the prices to reflect the competitive conditions in each market…These Game Pass price adjustments are not related to the Activision Blizzard deal, and are intended to match local market conditions. Subscription prices are rising just about everywhere, Sony has already taken that route with its gamers, and Microsoft said it was coming and that it has nothing to do with recent acquisitions: Those subscribed on a yearly pass obviously won’t see the jump until you renew your subscription. That means that existing Game Pass users on a monthly subscription won’t see these price jumps go into effect until August 13th (September 13th in Germany). PC Game Pass prices will remain the same. Starting on July 6, 2023, Xbox Game Ultimate will jump to $16.99 per month from the usual $15 and the standard Game Pass for Console will increase from $9.99 to $10.99 per month. Xbox Game Ultimate and Game Pass for console pricing is also getting hiked up as well.

The Xbox Series X will soon jump to €549.99 across almost all European markets, up to £479.99 in the UK, $649.99 in Canada, and $799.99 in Australia starting on August 1, 2023. Gamers looking to score one elsewhere might want to do so now. Xbox Series S console prices will hold strong for now everywhere. Ok so, as far as the actual Xbox Series X prices go, the US, Japan, Chile, Brazil, and Colombian markets will remain the same.

Official Xbox Game Pass price hike and Series X too
