Yesterday, Microsoft announced it would be raising the price of all three Xbox Game Pass subscription tiers and changing the benefits for each one.

Essential is now the cheapest tier of Xbox Game Pass and will cost you £9.99 a month. For that, you get access to a library of more than 50 games that can be played across PC and console. The new Premium tier is £14.99 and includes a library of 200+ games and access to all new Xbox published games within a year of them launching. Ultimate is now £29.99 a month and is the only tier of Xbox Game Pass that will let you play Day One releases.

“Our goal with Game Pass has been clear: deliver unmatched value, benefits, and a deep library of games for our players,” explained a blog post from Microsoft. “We know not everyone wants the same thing in their Xbox experience, so we’re evolving Game Pass to offer more flexibility, choice, and value to all players.”
