Xbox Live has decided against increasing prices and fans are happy about the development. Earlier today, Microsoft decided to announce the change and the community was in an uproar over the decision. A 6-month subscription would have cost $59.99 instead of $39.99. Now, that 20 dollars is nothing to sneeze at, and even more egregious when you factor in the fact gamers are going to have to buy two of those to cover an entire year. A lot of players have taken comfort in Xbox Live Gold since the coronavirus pandemic began back in 2020. The obvious concern about the price increase goes deeper than that with a lot of people having to purchase a brand new console. Even more confusing is the fact that there were rumors that Gold would become free at some point in the future. Check out their statement below:
Today was not great. We always try to do our best for you and today we missed the mark.
We hear you, and we’re reversing our Xbox Live Gold pricing updates.
