That's quite a jump.
It looks like prices for Xbox Live Gold in the United Kingdom are going up. Due to the Brexit situation in the country, the price of the pound has plummeted in front of the dollar. As a result, Microsoft is sending out emails to Xbox Live Gold members that instead of paying £40, they'll soon be paying £50.
An Xbox Live Gold member, James Lyle, reached out to us with the message he received on his console. It's safe to say that it's going to come as a shock to many, but considering the fact that Microsoft is based in the United States, market conditions do result in price increases from time to time.
We've reached out to Microsoft for comment and shall update you as soon as we receive a response. In order to avoid this, we would recommend stocking up on Xbox Live Gold cards right now. That way you'll be paying £40 for even longer.
There are frequent sales on Xbox Live Gold memberships so all is not lost. Unless you buy directly from the Microsoft Store, chances are that Amazon or some other retailer will be selling a 12-month subscription at a discount.
