Microsoft has announced that it’ll be bumping up the price of Xbox Live Gold in the UK, starting early next month. In other words, you still have time to grab a subscription at the regular price before the changes are implemented.
Starting May 8, the one-month subscription will increase from £5.99 to £6.99, while the three-month membership will set you back £17.99 instead of £14.99. The 12-month Xbox Live Gold price will increase by 10 quid, so expect to pay £49.99 when the changes come about.
‘To ensure gamers have consistent pricing for Xbox Live Gold across Europe we are making changes to UK pricing from May 8th. Prices will rise by £1 a month for our monthly subscriptions, £3 for our quarterly subscriptions and by £10 a year for an annual membership,' said Microsoft.
'This new pricing is aligned to the changes we made in the region in 2016 as we strive to offer our members premium gaming and entertainment services at a fair price. We have notified members whose accounts are on recurring billing in the UK so they are aware well in advance.'
