It comes after price increases also hit Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass for Console subscribers, which you can read about below. The price increase seemingly hasn’t affected bundles, like the Diablo IV Xbox Series X bundle at $849, technically making it the better value option if you’re newly in the market for a console. Microsoft is also trialling a new Friends and Family tier in select countries, which will be higher priced, but give full access and subscriber benefits to four users, instead of having the fuss of navigating through account sharing.Final Update: And so the last piece of the price increase puzzle has fallen into place, with Xbox Series X consoles officially having gone up in price from $749 AUD to $799 AUD across local Aussie retailers, Amazon and the official Microsoft store. The number of subscribers on Xbox has largely plateaued to a fixed ratio alongside console ownership, but there’s still plenty of growth being seen in the PC gaming market, so it makes sense not to touch that price point for the time being. This is also indicative of how Xbox Game Pass has been progressing in the last few years. The company is keen to state that these price changes are not related to the expected acquisition of Activision Blizzard, but are simply adjustments being made as pricing has remained locked since Xbox Game Pass launched in 2017 and Ultimate in 2019. Xbox Game Pass for Consoles will increase from $9.99 per month to $10.99, from €9.99 to €10.99 and from £7.99 to £8.99.On this occasion, US gamers will also be affected. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass for Console pricing will increase starting 6th July 2023, while PC Game Pass pricing will remain unchanged. Xbox Game Pass Price Hikes coming in July
