Xbox Live Gold on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S may be getting a big price increase. At the moment, Xbox gamers have three options when it comes to Xbox Live Gold: one month for $ 10, three months for $ 25 and 6 months for $ 40. Microsoft used to offer a 12-month subscription for $ 60, but was quietly discontinued last year. As it stands, the service costs more than PlayStation Plus, which still offers a 12-month subscription for $ 60. That said, it looks like Microsoft is possibly gearing up to widen that gap.
On Reddit, a user shared a new image of a 6-month Xbox Live Gold subscription card that costs $ 60. In other words, an Xbox Live Gold subscription that costs $ 20 more than the current rate. Could this be false? Sure, but he’s not the only one to appear online, which suggests that this is a mistake or Microsoft is about to raise the price of the service substantially.
If true, it would mean that Xbox Live Gold will cost twice as much as it did last year. This is a huge increase, which will be met with a substantial reaction, although it will also likely increase Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions, which can be the move. At the moment, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which comes with Xbox Live Gold, costs just $ 15 a month.
At the time of publication, Microsoft did not comment on this leak, which has not yet been verified. If any of these things change, we will certainly update the story. In the meantime, take everything here with a grain of salt. Not only is nothing official here, but it could be nothing more than a mistake, or worse, an elaborate scam.
