This has been attempted a few times in the past, like when Xbox was going to increase the price of Xbox Live Gold but backed down due to fan backlash.

“I think a price hike is a mistake. I don’t think many people are hooked on Game Pass in the same way that people are with Netflix and Spotify. As prices go up, I think subs will go down.”

“So with Game Pass you have to pay for everything, even things you are not interested in. I don’t play COD, So what value is there to me paying more.”

“Another price hike would put Game Pass dangerously close to not being worth it anymore. I work too many hours for too little money and only play a couple of new games a month.”

If Xbox Game Pass is set to increase its prices, let’s hope the new additions make it worth it in the long run.
