You would have to ask Microsoft, it was their decision to increase the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

EE are only just updating this on their systems now, however it has already taken effect some time ago for those who purchase the subscription directly from Microsoft.

Hi @DamianNagel

This was announced by Microsoft a few months back.

Thanks

Hey,

Do we know how this affects folks that have Game Pass as an inclusive extra? Will it remain there as an option or will it be removed due to the increase pricing?

thank you!
