Microsoft has announced another Xbox Game Pass price hike, with the Ultimate tier going up to $30/month. Microsoft is making this change just ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's release.
For now, however, you can still get a one-month Game Pass Ultimate subscription for $20 at Amazon.
Microsoft is making the price changes as part of a wider claim that it's giving people "more" than before to help justify the price hike. "We know not everyone wants the same thing in their Xbox experience, so we’re evolving Game Pass to offer more flexibility, choice, and value to all players," Microsoft said.
The new plans
Beginning today, October 1, Microsoft is rolling out three "upgraded" Game Pass tiers, including Essential, Premium, and Ultimate. The Xbox Game Pass Core tier is being removed, with people on that plan automatically shifted to Essential. Additionally, the Standard tier is gone as well, with members shifted to the Premium plan. The Ultimate plan is staying the same, at least in terms of its name.
