PC Game Pass is still available for PC gamers. In the future it will cost 12 euros instead of 10 euros. Console players will have to find their way with a completely new structure: Xbox Game Pass for consoles, which previously cost 15 euros, has been replaced by Xbox Game Pass Standard, which will cost US$15 per month in the USA. The German price is not yet known. Compared to the previous version of Xbox Game Pass for consoles, the new Standard tier is limited: new games are only added to the Standard subscription with a delay. Existing customers can keep their current Xbox Game Pass for consoles as long as they do not interrupt their subscription.

The limited Xbox Game Pass Core for consoles is only available as an annual subscription. It costs 70 euros instead of 60 euros per year. It gives access to a heavily discounted game library and allows you to play multiplayer titles on Xbox.

Game Pass Ultimate is 3 euros more expensive

Anyone who plays on both PC and console can opt for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Microsoft’s highest subscription level. In the future it will cost 15 euros instead of the previous 18 euros per month. Microsoft provides an overview of the price increase in this PDF Document,

Overall, Microsoft’s Game Pass is not only more expensive, but also more complicated. While PC gamers are still relatively safe despite the price increase of 2 euros per month, a multi-class society of subscribers is emerging on Xbox consoles: Standard members only get delayed access to new games. If you want parity with the PC Game Pass, you will have to subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate on consoles in the future.

Microsoft last raised the price of Game Pass a year ago.
