Latest News About How Much Is Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

Here’s the latest on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate pricing.

• In the United States, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is now $29.99 per month. This represents a price increase from the prior $19.99 monthly rate, and it went into effect for new subscribers immediately with existing subscribers seeing the change after their current term ends or on the specified update date. This information was reported by multiple outlets in October 2025.[1][2][4]
• Other regions saw corresponding increases (for example, UK and EU pricing adjusted alongside the US), with monthly prices typically moving in the vicinity of similar percentage increases. Details vary by country and tax considerations.[4][5]
• Microsoft added more day-one games and some extra benefits to justify the higher price for Ultimate, while other tiers were adjusted differently or kept at existing price points in many regions.[3][7]
