The Federal Trade Commission says the Xbox Game Pass price increase Microsoft recently announced is the 'consumer harm' it was trying to prevent.
Last week, Microsoft announced a host of changes coming to Xbox Game Pass. Each tier will increase in price, and Game Pass for Console will be replaced by a new Game Pass Standard tier, which won't include access to day-one games. The FTC says the Xbox Game Pass price increase is the 'consumer harm' it attempted to stop when battling against the Activision Blizzard acquisition.
' Beginning this month, new Xbox Game Pass subscribers will need to pay more to join the service, while current members will see the prices increase in September. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate increases from $16.99 / £12.99 to $19.99 / £14.99 a month, PC Game Pass goes from $9.99 / £7.99 to $11.99 / £9.99 a month, and 12 months of Game Pass Core jumps from $59.99 / £49.99 to $74.99 / £55.99.
