In a statement last year, Xbox’s Phil Spencer hinted that certain prices might need to be raised eventually, and shortly thereafter, Microsoft and Sony both increased the prices of new, first-party games to $70. However, the current price of $14.99 for Game Pass Ultimate may not be permanent.

This feature was tested in various countries last year.Īlthough most of the major video streaming services have increased their prices over the last year, Xbox Game Pass has maintained its price point for a considerable period. Microsoft is currently testing a new tier for Xbox Game Pass called the Friends & Family Plan, which would permit subscribers to share their subscription with up to four friends or family members. It remains unclear what alternative marketing promotions Xbox may introduce for Game Pass in the future.

For years, the US$1 trial has been a key feature of the Game Pass service, enabling new users to experience Xbox Game Pass for a month at a nominal price before renewing their subscription at the standard rates of US$14.99 a month for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or US$9.99 a month for PC or console subscription.
