Xbox Live Gold on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S may be on the rise. Right now, Xbox players have three options when it comes to Xbox Live Gold: one month for $ 10, three months for $ 25, and 6 months for $ 40. Microsoft used to offer a 12-month subscription for $ 60, but it quietly suspended last year. As it is, the service costs more than PlayStation Plus, which still offers a 12-month subscription for $ 60. That said, it looks like Microsoft is possibly preparing to widen that gap.
On Reddit, a user shared a new image of a 6-month Xbox Live Gold subscription card in a wild state that costs $ 60. In other words, an Xbox Live Gold subscription that costs $ 20 more than the current rate. Can it be false? Sure, but it’s not the only one that appears online, suggesting it’s a mistake or Microsoft is about to substantially increase the price of the service.
If true, it means that Xbox Live Gold will cost twice as much as it cost this time last year. This is a huge increase, which will be received with considerable reaction, although it will probably also increase subscriptions to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which may be the play. Right now, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which includes Xbox Live Gold, only costs $ 15 a month.
At the time of posting, Microsoft has not commented on this leak, which has not yet been verified. If any of these things change, we’ll be sure to update the story. Meanwhile, grab it all with a grain of salt. Not only is there nothing official here, but this can be nothing more than a mistake or, worse, an elaborate deception.
