As speculated by many over the past months, Xbox will be increasing the prices for its Game Pass service as of July 10 for new members and Sept. 12 for existing ones. The company will also be launching Game Pass Standard which won’t include day one releases, among other features.
Microsoft announced the changes today and outlined them in an Xbox Support post. Game Pass Ultimate will now be running for $19.99 in the United States, though not every region will be affected in the same manner. The company has made a full list of regions and countries and how pricing will be adjusted in each. Microsoft will also be killing off the Game Pass for Console option and replace it with the new Game Pass Standard, a limited $14.99 tier that will not include day one Game Pass releases, nor some particular titles available to Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
