XBOX has been raising its prices recently, and a fan-favourite offer is now gone for good.

The company has raised the price of its consoles in a number of regions already.

Xbox Game Pass’ price is rising.

It also announced that many of its first-party games, such as Redfall and Starfield, will be more expensive than previous games.

The most recent announcement concerns one of Xbox’s most popular products, Xbox Game Pass.

Game Pass is a subscription service that allows its subscribers to download and play from a huge library of games.

Even better than this, there was a special offer that allowed people to buy a month’s subscription for just £1 ($1).

Most people know that new subscribers could purchase their first month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for this low price.

Ultimate is Xbox’s highest level of subscription which allows access to Xbox Gold, as well as console and PC gaming.

However, If customers had not subscribed to Game Pass in a long time, then they were also able to redeem the low-price offer.

Going forward, it seems that this offer will no longer be available to Xbox players.

A statement released by Xbox reads:  “We have stopped our previous introductory offer for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

“[We] are evaluating different marketing promotions for new members in the future.”

While Xbox has said that there will be new offers for the service, there has been no word on what this offer may look like.

It will be a blow for Xbox fans who have been enjoying the offer as the affordable version of what can be a very expensive hobby.
