Xbox Game Pass Price Going Up Soon, Reports Suggest
There’s no denying the awesome deal that is the Xbox Game Pass. It’s the subscription service that allows players to enjoy over 100 titles for the low price of $9.99 a month. This includes the ability to play first-party games on the same day they are initially released. Not a bad deal, right? Well, it’s looking like things are about to change as the price might be increasing in the near future.
A recent report to pop up states that the Xbox Game Pass price will be seeing an increase in several European countries next month. A Reddit user by the name of cpHOG posted a screenshot of a message they received from Xbox Live that stated prices will be going up on June 1st. Check it out below:
Other users were quick to reply with similar statements, saying that prices were increasing in their countries as well. According to them, Poland will be seeing a price hike from 29 PLN to 40 PLN. Sweden will be receive the increase from 79SEK to 99SEK, but no other countries have been reported on as of this time. That being said, there’s a good chance that all subscription prices under 10 Euros could see an increase. As for the US, it remains to be seen if the glorious deal that is Xbox Game Pass will be a little less sweet in the coming weeks.
