Xbox is lowering the price of Game Pass in Chile, Hong Kong, and Israel

Microsoft is dropping the price of Game Pass — but only in certain territories. The company is responding to market conditions in Chile, Hong Kong, and Israel, and that means charging significantly less in those regions for the game-subscription service. These price reductions have more to do with local currency and consumer spending power than with a change in strategy at Microsoft. And that means you should not expect a similar price cut in other countries.

In addition to Game Pass, Microsoft is also cutting the price of Xbox Live Gold and the PC/console-specific versions of Game Pass in Chile, Hong Kong, and Israel. And the company plans to inform subscribers of the price cut tomorrow.
