More regions to come?
Previous price was $18.99 so 21% increase.
I'm only redeeming mine with rewards for a month every now and then, but good to know.
Edit: Australia too.

What was it before the price increase?
And weren't some people saying Ultimate won't get a bump in price because of COD? And I meant not just here but other sites as well.

I wouldn't say it's a price increase but more like a price adjustment that is trying to put some kind of monetary value to something that you cannot.
I mean, can you put a price to the best deal in gaming?

That's a relatively big bump at least from your typical price increase of just a dollar more. But maybe that doesn't happen anymore.What was it before the price increase?

I'm assuming price increases will need to happen to help offset the revenue decline that will soon occur when CoD hits Gamepass

Yep, considering the date, just in time for COD.
Yep and it was always obvious they were going to pull a "market conditions" and deny it's to monetise on the acquisition. Nobody can actually prove otherwise legally.What was it before the price increase?

Same percentage increase showing up in Australia this morning. Totally predictable and the best deal in gaming is heading towards buy the games you are interested in outright and invest in one platform only. Given the multiplayer buy in on consoles, that may well be a PC/Xbox(branded)PC next generation.

With exchange rate, Canada is still cheaper than the US at the raised price.

Insane. Pretty dang close to my bail out price, if not there already.
Xbox Game Pass is getting MAJOR changes, with a new tier without day one games, and a range of price increases
Xbox Game Pass is finally getting its long-awaited price increase.

GamePass has failed. It will be unrecognizable in less than 5 years.

Wait, it's 22.99 a month? So 275 a year? Piss off.
Cheaper to just buy the damn games outright

Gotta recover that 80 billion somehow other than firing people. Doing this just before Call of Duty is like how Nintendo started charging for online just before Smash Bros.

Imagine paying 25$ a month after taxes to play Xbox game pass .
That's 300$ Canadian per year
I can buy 3 first party titles MS day one for that price and I would own these games ( probably even more than 3 games too )
lol MS doesn't even have 3 big games that needs to be purchased day one even if you include cod one of them
I don't pay for PlayStation online . I don't pay for Xbox game pass . These companies can fuck off with these prices . Sony is on top of the big FU with their shitty prices
Any company that wants to charge me money so I can play online they can shove that console up their ass. Along with the game and their sub . Without a cream too

So they've essentially tailored Game Pass around Call of Duty

If it's price increases in Canada, it increases in real life!

This kinda sucks. The new standard gamepass with online but no day 1 MS titles is kinda tempting depending on the time it takes for those games to release. I'm probably gonna wait for MS to open the floodgates for activision blizzard stuff before deciding If day 1 first party and ea play is worth the price increase over standard.

LOL? They have been bleeding since day 1, but as long as it was still part of the grand master strategy to destroy Sony and take over gaming it was fine
It's clear that a lot changed when the ABK acquisition was completed and the rest of the MS organization finally noticed what their Xbox division has been doing and let's just say you don't just blow $70 billion and keep flying under the radar even if it's MS

Price Increases sucks and as a canadian, everything i own or want to own has gone up in price.
But to play devil's advocate in terms of being "thrifty";
That being said if you pay for gamepass monthly, and are still interested in xbox/PC games that are coming to gamepass- the price is still ~24/month x 12 = 288 bucks.
Which correlates to approximately about spending the equivalent of 3-4 games at full price in canada (89.99) a year.
So if there are at minimum 3 games coming to gamepass "day one" or are exclusive that you want to play, this is still a decent deal given that you'll still get the 10% discount on the games even if goes on sale. And you'd still get access to the other games that are currently on or will come onto gamepass.
It's still a relatively decent deal if you spend on average buying 3-4 + games a year.
again, not saying i support the price increase or anything of the sort, but Gamepass is still a decent deal if you play thru the decently sized and variable genre's of games.

Go down your local bar or restaurants and observe price increases, is that down to COD?
