The big Game Pass price hike announced last week took an unexpected twist today as Microsoft has confirmed that subscribers "in certain countries" won't actually have to pay the higher rate, at least for now.
The issue first came to light on Reddit, where some users claimed to have received emails stating that their existing Game Pass subscription would not be impacted by the price change as long as they were on a recurring plan—that is, one that re-subscribes automatically. Others, however, said they received an email stating explicitly that their subscription rates are going up.
