Microsoft To Stop Billing Dormant Xbox Gold & Game Pass Subscriptions

Microsoft could save you some money if you have a dormant Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass subscription and forget to cancel your membership. Well, at least if you’re in the UK for now. The company has announced this new measure as per a voluntary agreement with the UK’s Competitions and Market Authority (CMA). The CMA has been actively investigating auto-renewal subscriptions for all major gaming platforms since 2019, though neither Sony nor Nintendo has publicly committed to any changes to their services.
