Microsoft Raises Prices for Xbox Series X and Game Pass Subscriptions, PC Game Pass Spared for Now.

Microsoft is set to increase the prices of Xbox Series X console and Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions in most countries, except the US, Japan, Chile, Brazil, and Colombia. The price of the Xbox Series X will increase on August 1, while the subscription prices will change on July 6 for new members and August 13 for almost everyone else. The price of a one-year subscription to XBGP or XBGPU will cost $132 and $204, respectively, after the price hike. Despite the price increase, the subscriptions are still a better value than buying physical copies of games if you plan on playing a lot of games.
