Microsoft To Increase Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price To $19.99 In September

Microsoft intends to implement price hikes for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate starting September this year. The monthly cost for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will rise by $3, from $16.99 to $19.99. Meanwhile, PC Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will see a $2 increase, going up from $9.99 to $11.99.

In addition to these adjustments, Microsoft will introduce a new "standard" subscription tier priced at $14.99 per month. This option will not provide day-one access to first-party Xbox games but will include online console multiplayer access, a feature previously unavailable in Xbox Game Pass for console.
