Some of the canceled XGP memberships resulted in a 39 peso refund, and players suspect that it is because third-party merchants were using the 1 dollar glitch for subscriptions in the low-price areas.Īn announcement was leaked showing Microsoft requesting all customer services to tell players that they were verifying the situation with Microsoft and not to refund players or explain the details to avoid a massive public outcry. Unlike Nintendo, Microsoft did not ban players who used the glitch.Īccording to certain gaming communities, all of the players who were refunded did not purchase the Game Pass directly but through third-party merchants on Taobao and other e-commerce platforms. The subscription refunds went back onto purchasers’ credit cards. At the same time, they received two emails showing that the purchased XGP membership was obtained through illegal means, violating Microsoft's service agreement, so the subscription was canceled. Last year, Xbox's Phil Spencer said, "I do think at some point we'll have to raise some prices on certain things." Shortly after that statement, Microsoft revealed it was joining Sony in raising prices on new, first-party games to $70.Today, a large number of players found that their Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions were canceled and refunded by Microsoft. However, the $14.99 price point for Game Pass Ultimate likely won't last forever. While the biggest video streaming services have basically all gotten price hikes in the last year, Xbox Game Pass' price has held pretty firm for a while now. This will allow subscribers to share a subscription with up to four other friends or family members, and Microsoft began testing the new tier in multiple countries last year. One new feature that could be on the way is the Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family Plan. There's no word yet on what Xbox's potential alternative marketing promotion could be for Game Pass.
It allowed new members to try out Xbox Game Pass for a month for just a buck, before renewing at the standard monthly subscription of $14.99 a month for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or $9.99 a month to subscribe for either PC or console. The $1 trial has been a pillar of the Game Pass service for years.
