The price of the Xbox Game Pass will further increase, it is “inevitable” according to Microsoft

For the Tokyo Game Show, Phil Spencer made the trip to Japan to meet the press, and after mentioning new Japanese games of the same caliber as Lost Odyssey, the boss of Xbox also mentioned the flagship service of Microsoft, The Xbox Game Pass.

The Xbox Game Pass, the crucial service for Xbox activity

If you could not follow Xbox news this summer, we recall that Microsoft is a series of important modifications concerning its Xbox Game Pass service.

  • June 21, Microsoft increases the price of the Xbox Game Pass
  • On July 7, Microsoft announced an important change concerning the conversion of Xbox Live Gold to Xbox Game Pass. With a 3: 2 ratio, this process then became less interesting than before.
  • On July 17, ten days later, it was the end of the Xbox Live Gold for the benefit of the Xbox Game Pass Core that was communicated.
  • On August 9, we discover that the trial period at the Xbox Game Pass increases from 1 month to 14 days, thus reducing the time available to try the service and its catalog of more than 400 games.
  • On September 14, the Xbox Live Gold ends and was replaced by the Xbox Game Pass Core

These changes only targets one and the same goal, make Xbox Game Pass a more profitable service for Microsoft and support Xbox’s growth in all its markets.

The Xbox Game Pass St so at the heart of the Xbox strategy that Phil Spencer plans the end of Xbox if the Xbox Game Pass does not progress enough. For the moment, this is obviously not at all in the plans when we see passive investments of the brand, and in particular with the buyout of Activision.

The price of the Xbox Game Pass will increase further

Questioned about the subject of the Dugame Pass Prize by the Japanese media Game Watch, Phil Spencer confirms that a new price increase will happen.

Watch game : As a user of the Xbox Game Pass, I think it is a very good subscription service overall, but as a user, I am afraid of the increase in. Are future price increases inevitable or not ? I would like to know what you think of the prices.

Phil Spencer : Please say it. First of all, we always want to give people the choice in the way they build their library. They can subscribe to the game pass and play, or they can buy the game.

With millions of users currently subscribed to the Xbox Game Pass, many of whom are happy to use it, I think it is inevitable that the price increases in the future, even if it is essential that we offer more value that. We have increased prices once recently, but the decision was made after care. We believe that it is important to provide services whose value is recognized as sufficient, even if we must increase prices.

Even if the Xbox Game Pass is already celebrating its six years of existence, it is still today a service still young and quite unprecedented in the world of video games. Microsoft must still learn and increase your number of subscribers, as is the case on other media than video games, starting with cinema or series. Netflix has increased its prices several times in recent years, so you have to expect the same thing on the side of the Xbox Game Pass.

Let us also remember that Microsoft has promised not to increase the price of the Xbox Game Pass following the buyout of Activision, it is therefore unlikely that we are witnessing a new price increase in the next 12 months.

But since Phil Spencer evokes an increase following an addition of value, we imagine that the price of the service could increase when the first Call of Duty game will be available Day One in service, like what happened with Starfield.

At the latest news, Call of Duty would not arrive in the Xbox Game Pass before 2025, according to the British regulatory body CMA.
