For a buyer in the United States this is the home price: billed in USD with no extra step.

Can I pay Xbox Game Pass's United States price from another country?
Usually only with a payment method registered in the United States (a local card or a regional gift card, widely resold). Xbox Game Pass prices by your account's country; a VPN helps you sign up, but the payment method is the real gate. An extra step you can take.
Does a VPN help with Xbox Game Pass in the United States?
A VPN can let you see and sign up for the United States's price, but Xbox Game Pass bills by your account's country, so you'll still need a payment method from the United States (a local card or a regional gift card) to actually be billed at it.
Landed price = the locale's Ultimate monthly price converted at the European Central Bank reference rate (or a market rate for currencies the ECB does not publish), plus an estimated ~2% card foreign-transaction fee. The plan is matched across locales by rank (the Ultimate tier), structural pricing, not promos. "Local card" means the price usually needs a payment method registered in that country (often a regional gift card works); it's an extra step, not a one-click saving. See the methodology and FAQ.
