By now, you've probably heard that Xbox has lowered the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass (while also taking away day one Call of Duty titles), so we thought it was a good idea to bring you a breakdown of the new prices across multiple regions - five of them to be exact.
The other two tiers (Essential and Premium) aren't changing at all, so by reducing Ultimate and Premium, Xbox has suddenly made it a lot harder to decide which tier to opt for. Pay a bit less and get a good number of games for just £10.99 / $14.99, or go that little bit further and pick up Ultimate at the new price of £16.99 / $22.99? It's a tough one!
Firstly, let's go back to October and see what the prices for each of these tiers used to be:

If we haven't listed your region here and you're really keen to see what the new Xbox Game Pass prices are, there's an easy way to view them - go to the "Join Xbox Game Pass" page on the official Xbox website.
Before we go, we should also mention that existing Ultimate and PC subscribers won't see these changes until their next recurrence date, and the conversion rates when going from Essential to Ultimate and Premium to Ultimate have also changed a little bit — from 40% to 45% and 55% to 65% respectively (thanks to redphx for spotting that!).
