Xbox Game Pass Announces Price Hike and Major Updates Ahead of Handheld Launch
Xbox is raising its Game Pass subscription prices ahead of the launch of new Xbox handheld consoles, with tiered plans now costing more and offering varying game libraries and benefits. This follows recent price hikes for Xbox Series S and X consoles, which were attributed to macroeconomic factors. The new handhelds, developed in partnership with Asus, are set to release on October 16, with prices starting at $599.99 for the standard model and $999.99 for the Xbox ROG Ally X.
