With that having been said, if you wanted to buy three months of Game Pass Ultimate ahead of these increases, you won’t have to pay extra until that subscription lapses.Īs The Verge points out, Game Pass pricing hasn’t increased since 2017. Not only do you get access to Microsoft titles on launch day, there is also a multitude of titles from third-party developers to sink your teeth into.

While we aren’t fans of price hikes, Game Pass is still relatively affordable even after the increase considering the value you can squeeze from it.

The price increase comes into effect on 6th July. PC Game Pass won’t see a price increase from R79 while the Friends & Family iteration of the service remains priced at R199. Locally, Game Pass Ultimate will increase from R119 to R129 while Xbox Game Pass for Console will increase from R79 to R85. Xbox Game Pass subscribers should budget for a price hike happening in July although the price increase isn’t all that much.Īccording to a report from The Verge, Microsoft is hiking the price of Xbox Game Pass for Console and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in July for most countries aside from Norway, Chile, Denmark, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia.
