The Xbox price hike follows warnings prices wouldn’t hold forever.
Microsoft is increasing the monthly prices of its Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions for the first time next month, which will see the base Game Pass subscription for console move up to $10.99 a month from $9.99.
I hear ya. I'm still adjusting to paying over $100 Canadian for a new game 💸💸💸. At least on the switch I can set my province to Alberta to save some taxes.
Game pass has been a savior for me in regards to that. With how expensive cost of living is right now buying new games aren't at the top of the list unfortunately.
Heads up for my Canadian compatriots: CDKeys has CAD $12.79 3-Month Gold subscriptions up for sale, which redeem for 50 days of Gamepass Ultimate, if you're already subscribed. (it automatically adds up 50 days to your existing membership when you redeem)
I just tried for two passes (100 days) and it worked flawlessly.
