Xbox Game Pass Increasing to £22.99 / month

[asimtahraf]

For those of us that use Game Pass Ultimate as our inclusive extra, what’s going to happen now that Game Pass Ultimate is increasing to £22.99 a month?

[Verk]

I doubt it would go to standard if it did change, more likely to premium or perhaps PC gamepass which is around the same price as £14.99 ultimate

Hopefully they wont change it though, I imagine EE has a deal with Microsoft where they get the codes extremely cheaply

I have the same question.

I signed up to a 2 year, £29 a month add on that is a Meta Quest 3 Headset, and 2 years of Gamepass Ultimate. 

Presumably my price just stays the same? 

[Verk]

I'd imagine so, Besides the usual price increase on the 31st march thats outlined

What about if I  have game pass as  swappable benefit? Will they cancel it and tell me to pick different benefit as prices goes up?

Nothing official has been announced on this yet, but EE do reserve the right to change the Inclusive Extras they offer at any time - so it may or may not happen, will just have to wait for official news.

I have attached a link to the Inclusive Extra T&Cs below which feature the above clause around changing Inclusive Extra options.

I imagine it is a complex situation for EE,  for example they will have customers like myself who have signed up for broadband contracts where the gamepass is included such as the made for gamers bundle which costs more than the busiest home bundle but has Gamepass for the 2 year contract length

[baldi87]

I think you should be fine as game pass is sold to you  as part of your contract, so any changes could void it. Where in my case I have it as inclusive extra which can be exchanged to different service any time during length of my contract. So they can easily remove it without any consequences. Just need to wait for official response from EE.

Just a heads up, your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate discount will end on 16 October 2025.

After that, it'll be £12.00 a month. You'll see this on your next bill.

You're in control. You can switch off auto renewal by logging into your account.

off and cancelled lol, story time. 

I bought my son an xbox Series X for Christmas after seeing it as a drawing in his school book and he was so impressed with it he asked for a ps5 the next year and the xbox got shelved, luckily I had 24months included in my broadband bundle, I can share all of my ps5 games with him at no extra cost and play online on both consoles at the same time, I would've kept the gamepass ultimate as he does use it now and again but no danger power ranger am I renewing it and paying an eye watering £23 a month when it currently already costs more for the exact same stuff on PlayStation+ premium and has less benefits such as being able to keep any free games you claim monthly no matter what tier you're on... I tried playing his xbox and the controllers are clickity clickity super cheap feeling and the gui is terrible to navigate and full of ads, I'm glad my boy made the right choice I'm just a bit peeved that I spent good money on a series x, do yourself a favour buy a ps5, you won't regret it. 

ps. Fortnite is cancer, it killed Unreal Tournament (I've been a pc gamer since 1995 and I can't believe what epic mega games has become, I was even a developer at one point and ran ut2004files on filefront/gamefront, my uscript actor was what enabled vehicles to be used in deathmatch in ut2004 and spawned the carball mod which went on to become rocket league)
