Overview

• The new tier structure and pricing took effect on October 1, with renamed plans and revised benefits across console and PC.
• Ultimate now costs €26.99 per month, adds Ubisoft+ Classics and Fortnite Crew alongside EA Play, and advertises 400+ games with roughly 75 day‑one releases annually.
• Premium remains €12.99 with about 200 titles and access to new Microsoft games one year after launch, Essential rises to €8.99 with around 50 games, and PC Game Pass increases to €14.99 with EA Play and day‑one Microsoft titles.
• Existing auto‑renewing subscribers in countries including Germany and Austria keep previous rates for now, but any plan change or re‑subscription applies the new pricing immediately.
• Microsoft says it may later force‑migrate protected European accounts with 60 days’ notice, while customers in the United States and United Kingdom are moved to the new model now, and unlimited cloud gaming is included across tiers.
