Why does this charge appear?
When Microsoft processes Xbox Game Pass subscription payments, they use a truncated billing descriptor format that begins with "XBOX*" followed by additional details, which reflects how Microsoft's payment system identifies its Xbox-branded services at the point of transaction. The asterisk in "XBOX*" is a standard separator used by payment processors to distinguish a parent brand identifier from a specific product or service suffix, and since Xbox Game Pass is billed under Microsoft's Xbox division rather than under the full product name, the shortened form is what gets passed through to your bank. If you're seeing a recurring $14.99 charge with this descriptor, it is almost certainly your monthly Xbox Game Pass subscription.
What should you do?
Confirm Your Xbox Game Pass Plan
Log in to your Microsoft account at xbox.com and navigate to your subscriptions to verify which Xbox Game Pass tier you are currently enrolled in, such as Game Pass Core, Game Pass Standard, or Game Pass Ultimate, and confirm the billing amount matches the XBOX* charge on your bank statement.
Review Your Xbox Game Pass Billing History
Visit xbox.com/billing to view your full Xbox Game Pass payment history. Check the exact charge date and amount to ensure the XBOX* transaction on your bank statement aligns with your expected renewal date and subscription cost.
Check for Shared or Forgotten Subscriptions
If the XBOX* charge seems unexpected, check whether a family member is using Xbox Game Pass on a shared Microsoft account, or whether you signed up for a free trial that has since converted into a paid Xbox Game Pass subscription without a reminder.
Cancel or Modify Xbox Game Pass If Needed
If you no longer want the subscription, go directly to xbox.com/billing to cancel your Xbox Game Pass plan before the next billing cycle. Microsoft will typically allow you to continue using the service until the end of the period you have already paid for.
Is this charge fraudulent?
No, this is a legitimate charge from Xbox Game Pass. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
