Xbox Game Pass Price Hike Hits Some Regions Harder Than Others

As a big Xbox fan, I was pretty bummed to see the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate go up *again* on October 1st – it’s now $30 a month. Microsoft is trying to spin it as a positive, saying we’re getting more for our money. They’re including things like Ubisoft+ Classics and a Fortnite Crew subscription with the new price, and they promise at least 75 games will be available on day one each year. But even with these extra perks being pretty consistent everywhere, it seems like gamers in some countries are getting hit with *much* higher prices for the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which isn’t ideal. It’s frustrating that the cost isn’t the same for everyone, even with the added benefits.
