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?

Just checked. I am able to play and download as normal.

Likewise as in an earlier post I had notification that my broadband inclusive Ultimate Game Pass subscription is ending on 17/10 and from then on it will be £12.99 a month. I'm waiting until 18th to see if I get full new Ultimate GP (as in full 400+ game library) as if so will still be a saving over Xbox £22.99 a month for Ultimate.

I had the xbox game pass ultimate as a inclusive extra that stopped working soon as the price increase happened I couldn't download games from game pass library or go online, all I did was go to ee.co.uk/xbox to activate my subscription again then was all back up and running, this could be a fix for some people but not all.

I'm keen to understand how this might impact my add on too. I don't really want to pay more than my contract already is but technically mine ends this month, so aware i'm no longer locked into the lower price

I got a email yesterday from EE telling me my subscription (£12 for GPU) has gone through.  A bit confused tbh.

So, why has no official information been communicated on this?

Coming back to confirm I get all the benefits of the Ultimate pass for £12.99 from EE over if I purchased it directly from Microsoft for £22.99

For me nothing changed so far, have Game Pass Unlimited as inclusive extra and didn't receive any messages about changes. But it may change any time soon. Hope it doesn't as I am planning to upgrade to Xbox series X from my one X.
