Xbox has confirmed the deta༒ils of another Game Pass price increase.

In an on Xbox's support ✱website, it's confirmed that a price increase will go into effect for new subscribers on July 10 and for existing subscribers on September 12.

for plan and country. Xbox Game Pass Core, AKA Xbox Live Gold, is increasing from $60 to $75 for a year, while the $10 monthly option isn't changing.

Notably, the Console tier of Game Pass is being replaced with the new Standard tier, which won't include any day one releases. All subscription tiers previously included certain Xbox releases the day they were launched, but the new Standard option won't give subscribers that perk. This new tier will launch for new subscribers in "the coming months" and will cost $15 in the US. Xbox says existing Console tier subscribers will be able to keep thei🎶r plans with no changes.

The wording here is a little vague, but Xbox says "some gaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚmes available with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on day one will not be immediately available with Xbox Game Pass Standard and may be added to the library at a future date," seemingly implying that only some Game Pass Ultimate day one drops will be excluded from the Standard tier and added at a later date. I've reached out to Xbox for clarification and will update this story if I hear back.

The last time the Game Pass price was increased was back in June 2023.
