Last week the news jumped: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate rose price. And it was not a minor change, but orn 50% increase that placed the subscription at 26.99 euros per month in Spain. For some, it was an inevitable adjustment. For others, a jump too abrupt to justify it without further ado.
But in the midst of the stir, there are important nuances. According to The VergeMicrosoft has begun to send emails to certain users of the European Union clarifying that this new price will not apply to all equally. At least, not for the moment.
“At the moment, these increases will only affect the new purchases and not to your current subscription in the market where you reside, provided you have orn Automatic recurring plan“Says Microsoft.” If you decide to cancel your plan and buy it again, you will be charged the new current rate, “adds the company.
The notice adds one more detail: if in your market there will be a price increase, these users will receive a notice at least 60 days in advance and may cancel or modify your plan. This condition, however, seems to be applied only to the markets where the people who received the message reside.
For now there is no official confirmation about which countries are included in this exception, but The Verge mentions cases such as Ireland, Germany or Poland. In Xataka we have contacted Microsoft to know if Spain is part of that list and update as soon as we have an answer.
In development.
