""At this time, these increases will only affect new purchases and will not affect your current subscription for the market in which you reside, as long as you are on an auto-recurring plan," explains Microsoft in an email that was sent to some Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers overnight. "Should you choose to cancel your plan and repurchase, you will be charged at the new current rate." The Verge has verified that the email is genuine and from Microsoft."
""The change in these countries is likely related to local regulations on subscription price changes, and it means in Ireland existing subscribers with auto-renew enabled will still be charged at the €17.99 monthly rate, instead of the new €26.99 pricing. Microsoft notes in its email that existing subscribers in these markets will be notified "at least 60 days in advance" of price changes, meaning the changes won't go into effect for at least two more months.""
Microsoft announced a 50 percent price increase to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate but is currently applying the increase only to new purchases in Austria, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Korea, Poland, and India. Existing subscribers on auto-recurring plans in those markets will keep their current rates and will not be charged the higher price unless they cancel and repurchase. Microsoft will notify affected subscribers at least 60 days before any price change. The change aligns with likely local subscription-price regulations and pauses the previously stated rollout schedule that had dates for new and current subscribers. Price hikes still apply to current subscribers in the UK and US.
