Microsoft will increase the price of Xbox Game Pass in a large country since it is the Brazilian players who have been informed. For the moment, France does not seem concerned.
Towards a generalization of the Xbox Game Pass price increase?
The price of Xbox Game Pass will increase in Brazil. The information was shared by the SÓ XBOX channel, which specializes in covering the Xbox ecosystem in Brazil.
According to retail sources, 1-month and 3-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions as well as 3-month Xbox Game Pass will increase. For now, Xbox Live Gold and PC Game Pass are not affected by the increase.
Price increase details
- Xbox Game Pass Ultimate 1 month: 44.99 BRL to 49.99 BRL (about +1 €)
- Xbox Game Pass Ultimate 3 months: 134.99 BRL to 149.99 BRL (about +3 €)
- Xbox Game Pass 3 months: from BRL 89.99 to BRL 101.99 (about +€2.20)
The price increase will be effective from July 6, and therefore before the release of Starfield in September.
Last March, Microsoft had already ended the €1 discovery offer. A trick now allows you to benefit from 3 years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for only €110 instead of €450.
No price increase in France yet, but it could come
Last year, Xbox boss Phil Spencer was asked about possible price increases. He had shared his wish to keep the same prices until Christmas, but that “some things” were going to have to increase afterwards.
We have maintained the price of our console, we have maintained the price of games… and our subscription. I don’t think we can do this forever. I think at some point we will have to increase the prices of certain things…
This year, Xbox has already started to increase the price of its games since Redfall was the first title to be released for the price of 80 €. If an increase in the price of Xbox Game Pass seems inevitable in the long term, Microsoft has however promised that the price of its subscription service will not increase following the takeover of Activision.
