Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: All the info on the new service

A variety of add-on services have sprung up around the Xbox One. As a supplement to the popular Game Pass, there is now the Ultimate subscription, which combines the features of various services.

The Game Pass Ultimate combines several important subscriptions into one service.

With the Xbox Game Pass, you get a gaming flat rate. For multiplayer games, you need Xbox Live Gold as a separate subscription. Because of the popularity of both services, the combination is now available.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: Benefits and price in check

Following the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes both access to the Game Pass game flat rate and online access to the multiplayer world of Xbox Live Gold.

• So you no longer need two subscriptions to play the titles from the library online.
• The Ultimate subscription costs regularly 12.99 euros per month.
• For comparison: Xbox Live Gold costs 6.99 euros per month, with Game Pass it is 9.99 euros per month. So with the Ultimate package you save 4 euros.
• Another advantage is that with Ultimate you have access to the Game Pass games for PC and console. Normally, these are two different subscriptions; the Game Pass for PC was only recently launched.

Finally, one more tip: Third-party providers sometimes offer particularly cheap deals, such as three months for 19.99 euros. There, however, it is important to always pay attention to the details and the fine print. Wer auf Nummer sicher gehen möchte, der abonniert den Dienst einfach direkt bei Microsoft.
