- Microsoft announced another increase in the price for Xbox Game Pass
- The membership page was blocked due to mass cancellations
- Ultimate level membership will now cost $ 29.99 / £ 22.99 / AU $ 35.95 per month
As soon as a few weeks have passed since Microsoft announced that Price increases for their Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S in early September consoles, and is in the center of the controversy once again, and it seems that the players are joining on this subject.
As highlighted by Notebookckck, the Microsoft membership page was blocked after the Xbox Game Pass Hikes pricing ads, while a large number of users rushed to the site to cancel.
Without sugarlo, Xbox is gradually away to its consumers from all its ecosystem, including PC players (like me) who have used the game pass as an economic method to play new titles the first day, and obviously it became clear once I went to cancel my subscription, and found me with multiple page errors, indicating mass cancellations (and here how it is how it is how to cancel the game.

I canceled my Xbox Game Pass subscription. This was the first generation in which I did not buy an Xbox, but I was still using Game Pass on PC, now I am separated from this brand and I have 0 desire to have an Xbox console or service again. pic.twitter.com/mtjeult85aOctober 2, 2025
At this point, it seems that the Microsoft Xbox brand cannot take a break with negative comments and reaction, but many will argue that it is only to blame. The prices of the game pass increased at the beginning of last year, the prices of the Xbox console are shooting, and the new ally of Rog Xbox X costs $ 999, so it is not a wild suggestion to say that consumer complaints are justified.
Based on the scale of the violent reaction of fans, we can see that Xbox returns to the new prices for the game’s pass, as we have seen that this happens with certain games, such as The external worlds 2, where the $ 80 prices controversy led to an eventual drop -down at $ 70.
This is another case in which to vote with consumers voting with their wallets can be fundamental in the generation of reasonable price changes, and those changes can even arrive earlier than expected.
ANALYSIS: PlayStation Plus of Sony is as follows, and I can feel it
It’s just a matter of time, but I hope Sony follows the same steps as Microsoft Xbox with its PlayStation Plus membership service, only in the same way as I anticipate an eventual game price standard of $ 80.
Some of you could suggest that this is crazy, but it almost feels as if Sony PlayStation, Xbox de Microsoft and Nintendo are in Cahohots when the prices of games or games by themselves increase. That feeling came after Microsoft announced that its first part Xbox games would cost $ 80, which was not long after Nintendo’s announcement.
I feel that Sony is waiting for the controversy regarding the game and the prices of the membership service to establish (or at least normalize) before imposing its own new price standards.
These measures in the three giant companies for console games are making PC games much more attractive than ever, especially when you consider it Online games have always been free, and that should never change.
My only important concern is that once again consumers find their way in the PC ecosystem, it is when we will begin to see more controversial decisions, and I fear that the price increases of the Xbox game are only the beginning for PC players.
