A price that leaves the Ultimate, the most complete of the subscriptions and the users’ favorite, with a monthly fee of 26.99 euros. This has caused a multitude of cancellations by users that they had this service, and that they did not want to pay this increase from the 17.99 euros before, to the 26.99 euros announced with the new increase. But Microsoft wanted clarify this situationthe rise is for new subscribers of some selected markets, at least for now.
