Microsoft has lowered the price for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in Norway starting next month. The move affects new subscribers but excludes new Call of Duty titles. The reduction applies only to the Ultimate tier, while the PC Game Pass remains unchanged.
The change comes as part of Microsoft’s pricing adjustments for the Norwegian market. Existing subscribers will see the updated rates automatically when their next billing cycle begins. The company did not explain why Call of Duty games are excluded from the offer, despite being a major franchise in the service.
Gamers in Norway now pay less for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which grants access to over 100 games, cloud gaming, and day-one releases. The price cut makes the subscription more affordable for casual and competitive players alike. However, the exclusion of new Call of Duty titles means fans must purchase those separately.
Industry analysts note that Microsoft’s decision may reflect contractual obligations with Activision Blizzard, which owns the franchise. The company has not commented on whether the exclusion is temporary or permanent. Competitors like PlayStation Plus have also adjusted prices in Norway recently.
For now, Norwegian gamers have a clearer financial incentive to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, though they will need to budget extra for new Call of Duty games.
