Sony implemented price increases on its PS5 last year, but only did so in certain markets. The US was not one of them, and Microsoft is following that path. Pricing for the Xbox Series X will stay the same in the US. It\u2019ll also stay the same for consumers in Japan, Chile, Brazil, and Colombia.<br \/>\nEverywhere else, the console is going up. Europe for example will see the console price rise to \u20ac549.99 in most countries. Meanwhile the cost of the console in Australia will be going up to AUD $799.99. These price changes will happen on August 1. So there\u2019s still time to get the console at a lower price in one of the regions where it\u2019s going up, if you can find it. Microsoft hasn\u2019t exactly had tons of stock since release.<br \/>\nXbox Game Pass will get a price increase in most markets<br \/>\nXbox Game Pass has stayed the same price ever since Microsoft launched the service. A pretty worthy accomplishment if you ask us. However, \u201ctimes they are a changin.&#8217;\u201d And the price of Game Pass seems to be changing with it. This shouldn\u2019t come as a shock though as Xbox Head Phil Spencer confirmed pricing changes were coming at some point.<br \/>\nThe good news is that the increase is only happening on console Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate. So if you have PC Game Pass, you have nothing to worry about. For now at least, as Microsoft could increase the price later on.<br \/>\nFor Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, the service will jump from $14.99 to $16.99 and Console Game Pass will jump from $9.99 to $10.99. These aren\u2019t big increases. But that extra $1 or $2 every month does eventually add up. And for some that cost may not be viable. Microsoft isn\u2019t changing the price of the service everywhere though. A few markets will have their pricing stay the same. This includes Norway, Chile, Denmark, Switzerland, and Saudi Arabia.<br \/>\nPrice changes will begin on July 6 for new subscribers. Existing subscribers won\u2019t see the price change until August 13, and September 13 in Germany. So enjoy your lower pricing while it lasts. Worth noting is that now might be a good time to renew your membership with a six-month or annual pass to lock in a lower price.<br \/>\nXbox Game Pass for Console &#8211; 6-Month<br \/>\nXbox Game Pass Ultimate &#8211; 3-Month<br \/>\nThe post Xbox Game Pass and X Series X are getting price increases appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Xbox-Series-X-Review-8.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft is going to increase the price of Xbox Game Pass and the Xbox Series X, according to a new [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12975,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12974"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12974\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12976,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12974\/revisions\/12976"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12975"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
