This summer, Xbox Live Gold is going to cost UK players a bit more.
Xbox Live Gold subscribers in the UK have been receiving messages today from Microsoft alerting them that prices are going up. Multiple reports from players, and those in games media have been popping up all day.
The three-months option is going up to £18 from £15, whereas the 12-month sub is now £50 instead of £40. In the Xbox message, Microsoft said the change was made to “address changing market conditions.”
The new prices go in effect beginning August 7. In other words, you have three months to stock up on Gold if you want to pay the current prices. Any renewals after August 7 will be charged the new fee.
This brings Gold prices more in line with PlayStation Plus, though the three-months option is slightly more expensive for the latter.
The official Xbox Live Gold page on the Microsoft Store does not yet have any official announcements about this, but we’ve reached out for comment.
