Alright, gamers, buckle up! Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate prices are about to take a leap next month, and many of you are feeling the pinch. The announcement has already sent waves of cancellations, with the official site struggling to keep up. But don’t throw in the towel just yet! Amazon’s got a sneaky little deal that might just save your gaming budget.
Starting November, the Ultimate tier’s monthly fee is jumping to $29.99. That’s a hefty increase, and it’s left many subscribers feeling sick to their stomachs. If you’re one of them and you’re ready to call it quits, we’ve got a guide on how to cancel your subscription. But if you’re not quite ready to part ways with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Amazon’s got your back.
Right now, Amazon’s slashed the price of a 3-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription to just $54.99 (down from $59.99). It’s not a massive discount on the surface, but when you consider that the same amount of subscription time will cost around $90 after the price increase, you’re looking at a sweet $35 saving!
Today’s HOT DEAL: With Xbox Game Pass prices skyrocketing next month, this could be your last chance to save big on three months of subscription time. It’s already the #1 best seller in Amazon’s ‘Xbox Games, Consoles & Accessories’ category.

Microsoft’s not new to price hikes, and we’ve seen some significant increases over the past year. Once the new prices kick in, you’ll be spending around $360 a year on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Pair that with the cost of an Xbox Series S console ($379.99), and you’re looking at a total of around $739 – just $10 cheaper than a PS5 Pro.
After the price increase, I can’t in good conscience recommend subscribing to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. But for now, if you’re in the US and you want to keep your subscription going, this Amazon deal is your best bet. Especially if you’re waiting for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 to drop on the service on November 14.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab this deal while you can, and keep your gaming marathon going strong! And don’t forget to follow TechRadar on Google News, TikTok, and WhatsApp for more gaming news and updates. Happy gaming!
