Price up for Xbox Live Gold subscription – Learn about new costs!

It should continue to work as there is no indication that they are shutting down Ultimate Team. But to make extra sure, please contact EA Support for clarification.

The Xbox Live Gold subscription is the same for all Xbox consoles. There is no separate Live membership for the Xbox 360. If you get a Gold membership subscription, it'll work on the Xbox 360, the Xbox One and the upcoming Xbox Series X.

Since I don't know in which country you live, you need to go to https://www.xbox.com/live/gold and check the price for the subscription yourself.

Be aware, that getting a yearly subscription will drastically reduce the price compared to a monthly subscription. For example, if you're in the US, a yearly subscription costs about US$60, while a three month subscription costs about US$25 (meaning 100US$
for a year), or a monthly subscription coming up to 120US$ a year.

The $1 Xbox Live Gold offer was only made available to new subscriptions from members on Silver Xbox Live subscriptions for the first month only. After the first month, the subscription will renew at the regular price of Xbox Live Gold.

Xbox Live Gold subscriptions after the first month are not free and also need to be payed for at the regular retail price. If you want to keep your Xbox Live Gold subscription, you will need to pay for it at the full regular retail price.

Unfortunately, providing a network the size of Xbox live requires a lot of resources and like everything else prices go up for them so they pass it along to their customers. If you don't like it or think it is to much then you can cancel your subscription.
My cost averages about $5 / month for a Gold Subscription and I, personally, don't think it is too much to ask for providing the network.

that 1 dollar will convert the time you have from game pass and xbox live gold to game pass ultimate, and when your subscription ends, it will cost you the normal price
