Microsoft doubled the price of Xbox Live Gold memberships to $120 per year and gamers aren't happy

Six-month plans will now cost $60, but that new price won't apply to existing members.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesMicrosoft is raising prices for Xbox Live Gold memberships in certain markets in an apparent effort to convert more users to its Xbox Game Pass Ulimate, and the gaming community is not receiving the news well.Friday that, moving forward, new six-month Xbox Live Gold subscriptions will cost $59.99, while three-month plans will cost $29.

The pricing changes won't affect existing Xbox Live Gold subscribers, however, as they'll still be able to renew their current plans at the same price. Microsoft is also letting players who upgrade to its Xbox Game Pass Ultimate — which costs $14.99 per month, or roughly $180 per year — convert any remaining time on their Xbox Live Gold memberships to Xbox Game Pass Ulimate without an additional cost.

The new prices dramatically close the gap between the annual costs of Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions, a sign that Microsoft is likely trying to push more users to sign up for the latter., which accused the company of being out of touch with the economic situation of many customers during the pandemic, as well as continuing to require them to pay for subscriptions even to play free-to-play games like "Fortnite" and "Call Of Duty: Warzone.
