How to Get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at the Old Price

Microsoft recently announced a price increase for some Xbox Game Pass subscription plans, including Ultimate and PC Game Pass. The Ultimate plan, which offers the largest selection of games and features, as well as access to PC Game Pass, has risen from $19.99 to $29.99 per month. The subscription price for PC Game Pass is now $16.49 instead of $11.99.

If you subscribe directly through Microsoft channels, you will have to pay the new rates. However, to save money, you might consider purchasing through other retailers that still sell subscriptions at the old prices. For example, a monthly subscription to Game Pass Ultimate is available for $19.99 through Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, and Walmart. There is also the option to buy a three-month package for $59.99, which effectively gives you one month free at the new rates.

For PC Game Pass, these stores offer three months for $35.99, which matches the previous price. This is a great opportunity to save on your favorite games without overpaying for a subscription.
