Xbox Game Pass (Ultimate, Console) Is Getting a Price Hike, Microsoft Confirms, with Xbox Series X Pricing Also Increasing in Many Territories

The Verge has learned that Microsoft is planning to increase the price for the Ultimate and Console tiers of Xbox Game Pass in many markets, including the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Starting on July 6, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will move from $14.99 per month to $16.99 (€14.99 / £12.99), while the Console plan will move from $9.99 a month to $10.99 (€10.99 / £8.99). The PC branch, thankfully, is not affected (for now, at least) and will remain at $9.99 a month for subscribers. Microsoft is also increasing the cost of the Xbox Series X in most countries in August aside from the U.S., Japan, Chile, Brazil, and Colombia.
