Microsoft contacted Xbox Game Pass subscribers in some regions to inform them that the service's recently announced subscription price hike will not take effect immediately for existing subs, but that new subscriptions will still be subject to the new rates.
In a statement to The Verge, Microsoft confirms some (often translated) emails that have been floating around online today, October 7. This price freeze will only hold "for now," it seems, evidently in response to regional regulations that prohibit abrupt rate increases.
