The Mexican market is a core part of its service strategy

- Arab Emirates
- Slovakia
- Spain
- U.S
- Finland
- France

This news was released today through the official Xbox blog where users were notified that monthly, quarterly and semi-annual services would have an increase, except if you were already a subscriber of the 6-month service or the annual one until the moment. of renovation.
The changes at least for the North American market were as follows:
- Monthly from $ 9.99 to $ 10.00, which is only a dollar difference
- The quarterly rose $ 5 dollars reaching the price of $ 29.99.
- The semester will cost $ 59.99
It is important to note that users of the Xbox Live Gold service for 12 or 6 months who want to keep their current price, will only have to select the renewal of their service.
However, those who want to convert their Gold services to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, can switch to it and their remaining months will be added to the new one, at no additional cost with a limit of 36 months. Exemplifying if you have 10 months of Gold, you can convert it to 10 months of Ultimate if you do this migration.
Is this a move by Microsoft to try to tempt existing Xbox Live Gold users to try Xbox Game Ultimate? Let’s not forget that the Redmond strategy is loaded towards this service where games like The Medium will be available soon. In the interim, this issue has shaken users and networks, becoming a trend topic within twitter. Now it only remains to know what the response of the end users will be.
