TL;DR

Microsoft is delaying the $10 price increase for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in select European countries due to local regulations, while the increase remains in effect for the US and UK. The delay is indefinite but will be communicated 60 days in advance, and it only applies to existing auto-renewing subscribers. The move appears to be driven by regulatory requirements rather than negative feedback, leaving some uncertainty about future pricing decisions.
