Xbox Game Pass Prices Are Going Up: Here Are The Post-Hike Prices

We start the day with news of a disturbing price hike. Microsoft is preparing to increase Xbox Game Pass prices worldwide. The subscription service, which has a large game catalog that is refreshed every month, is of great importance especially for users in places where game prices are high, such as Turkey. Game Pass, which was last increased in November 2023 , is facing another serious increase after about eight months.

In these days when the prices of everything from needle to thread are increasing, subscription services are also increasing due to reasons such as exchange rate and inflation. Right now, you pay 159 TL when you want to become a member of Game Pass on PC or console. Ultimate, which offers access to both platforms, has a fee of 209 TL per month. However, these amounts will change upwards in the coming days.

Xbox Game Pass Gets Standard Subscription

Game Pass PC price will increase from 159 TL to 209 TL , and 12-month Core, or console, membership will increase from 959 TL to 1,399 TL . Ultimate's monthly fee, which was previously 209 TL, will also be updated to 309 TL with the increase . That's not all. Game Pass for consoles is closed to new members. Old members will be able to continue using it if the renewal setting is open.

In addition, those who want to play Game Pass games on the console from day one will now have to buy Ultimate . A Standard membership without Day One is coming to the console. The new Standard membership will probably remove the Core (formerly called Gold) option. We have previously mentioned that Microsoft may change the subscription structure of Game Pass ahead of the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 .

The company, which wants to transform the service with over 35 million subscribers into a more profitable and sustainable structure, will demand more payments for some advantages such as day one access to new games. Black Ops 6 , developed jointly by Treyarch and Raven Software, will be released on October 24 and will be added to the Game Pass library on day one. You can access the increased prices that will be valid in the coming days below.
