Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Sees a Price Cut, Moving Closer to Its Pre-Surge Pricing After Last Year's 50% Increase - Kotaku
"For a long while, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate was colloquially known as the best deal in gaming-and for a good reason. Unlimited access to tons of awesome games, big and small, for a pretty reasonable price. But then in late 2025, Microsoft announced a staggering 50% price hike, bringing the service from $20 per month to $30 per month. By the end of the year, that's an extra $120 out of pocket you would not have had to spend had the price stayed the same."
"The StackSocial deal brings the one month price down from $30 to just $25, and it brings the three-month price down from $90 to just $74. See at StackSocial What's really good is that the membership is stackable as well as not being region locked. This means you can load up on a bunch and set yourself up with Game Pass Ultimate for the foreseeable future at the reduced rate."
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate increased from $20 to $30 per month in late 2025, representing a 50% price hike and roughly $120 extra per year versus the previous price. StackSocial offers temporary reductions, dropping one month to $25 and three months to $74, with stackable, region-free memberships for long-term savings. Samsung TVs from 2023 onward can stream Game Pass titles directly via Samsung Gaming Hub, removing the need for a console when paired with an Xbox controller. Game Pass Ultimate grants access to over 500 games, spanning indies to blockbusters, with Tunic notable for its fictional-language mechanics and collectible manual pages.
