Despite the price hike and ongoing legal concerns regarding a Microsoft gaming monopoly, Xbox Game Pass continues to be regarded as one of the best subscription services available. With an extensive collection of top-notch games, Xbox Game Pass offers a satisfying gaming experience that can keep players engaged for weeks on end.
In addition to the subscription price increase, Microsoft is also planning to raise the recommended retail price of the Xbox Series X console on August 1. The price will rise from £449/AU$749 ($499 equivalent) to £479.99/AU$799.99—an increase of 11%. However, those interested in purchasing an Xbox Series X may find attractive deals during Amazon Prime Day 2023, taking place from July 11-12, where they can potentially secure a great bargain.
