According to emails being sent out to Xbox Game Pass members within the European Union (EU) and other countries, the price increase from €18 to €27 will only be for new members and those who don’t have auto-renewal enabled.

And the backpedaling begins.

Don't believe them. I've been told I've been grandfathered into legacy pricing on multiple occasions by multiple companies only to have every single one of them force me off old pricing. This'll be no different. You might get a few months. If you're lucky, you'll get a year. But it'll go away eventually.

'Member when YouTube TV was $35/mo and everyone would be grandfathered with that price? Now it is $83/mo.

Was that in the US or Europe?

Of course it was in the US. Europe actually has consumer protections.

It happens to us too, they just have to give longer notice and let us chancel.
