In a week, Microsoft will increase the price of the Xbox Game Pass subscription for PC games to 10 euros per month. This will happen from September 17; currently the introductory price of 4 euros per month still applies.

The price increase comes after Microsoft announced that EA Play will be integrated with the Game Pass subscription for PC. Until now, Game Pass for PC has cost $ 4 a month, but that was an introductory price during the beta period, which Microsoft previously said would change.

On Twitter Microsoft confirms that the Game Pass PC subscription will be withdrawn from the beta phase from next week, which means that the price will also go up. The Xbox site shows that it is about more than doubling the price, to 10 euros per month. Users who have already taken out a Game Pass subscription for EUR 4 per month will continue to pay that amount until the next payment period.

On Wednesday, Microsoft announced that the EA Play subscription will be part of the Game Pass subscription for PC and for Game Pass Ultimate, at no additional cost. EA’s subscription also costs 4 euros per month from that publisher.

The Game Pass subscription gives gamers access to a library of more than a hundred games, which must be installed locally. Microsoft releases all games from its own studios directly via subscription, including titles such as Flight Simulator and the Halo games. In addition, Microsoft is closing deals with other publishers. New games are regularly added and many games disappear after a certain period of time.

Microsoft has three different Game Pass plans: for PC, for consoles and an Ultimate variant, which combines both and also includes cloud gaming and Xbox Live Gold.

Update, 9:36 AM: The amount of 4 euros per month applies until the next payment period and not while the subscription runs. The article has been adapted accordingly.
