Xbox PC Game Pass jumps to ₱320/month in the Philippines, up 83% from last year

This is the second hike since 2022 launch.

Xbox PC Game Pass is getting another price hike in the Philippines. Starting November 2025, the monthly fee will go up from ₱175 to ₱320.

That’s a steep jump, about 83% higher than the current rate. It’s also the second increase in two years. Back in 2024, the price rose from ₱119 to ₱175, a 47% hike at the time.

The change follows similar price changes in other countries. It also comes after Xbox rolled out new Game Pass tiers globally, including Essential, Core, and Ultimate.

PC Game Pass gives players access to over 100 games, including day-one titles from Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda, and Activision Blizzard. The service first launched in the Philippines in April 2022 and has built a solid user base since.

For Filipino gamers, the new price might be a tough pill to swallow. Many users are expected to rethink their subscription.

Xbox is expected to notify users by email before the change takes effect. The updated rate will apply to both new and existing subscribers.

So far, there’s no word on whether any new perks will come with the higher price.
