Xbox Game Pass It’s one of the few subscriptions I’ve kept while other services cut. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate’s $15 per month fee feels well worth it, as you can choose from over 100 titles and download new add-ons regularly. Within a year, the cost is split between the prices of about 3 AAA games.
An Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription comes with access to EA Play and Xbox Live Gold. If you’re not interested in online multiplayer gaming, Microsoft offers a more affordable tier that costs $10 per month. PC Game Pass for non-Xbox gamers ($10/mo) has many of the same titles.
