More than anything else, the Xbox Game Pass library will determine the value the service holds for you. It's also a dollar less per month than PlayStation Plus Premium ($17.99), though Sony offers an annual subscription for $119.99 while Microsoft no longer has a discounted annual fee. The $17 monthly fee is pricey compared with comparatively bare-bones services like EA Play ($29.99 per year) and Nintendo Switch Online ($19.99 per year, $49.99 per year with Expansion Pass), but it's in line with Apple One ($16.95 per month) which includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and Apple Cloud storage. It lets you play the service's games on your Android phone, PC, or recent Samsung TV through an app or on an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC through a web page. Game Pass Core subscriptions will cost $9.99 per month or $59.99 per year.īesides combining all of those services into one monthly subscription, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate adds Microsoft’s cloud gaming feature, formerly called Project xCloud. That said, it lacks the robust libraries found in the other Xbox Game Pass membership tiers. It will be replaced by Xbox Game Pass Core, an effectively identical service to Xbox Live Gold that has online multiplayer functionality on Xbox consoles and a handful of free games. Xbox Live Gold will end on September 14, but its benefits won't go away. Xbox Live Gold also adds an additional two to four free games per month, in addition to what you can play on Xbox Game Pass. Ultimate adds Xbox Live Gold, a separate subscription service that enables online multiplayer on Xbox consoles and itself costs $9.99 per month without the pass (or $24.99 every three months, for $100 annually).
For $16.99 per month, it combines both the Console and PC game passes into one, with additional features. The highest tier, and the version we tested, is Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The PC-specific tier also gets the same benefits as the EA Play service, which provides access to a large chunk of EA's library as part of the subscription (it otherwise costs $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year). Xbox Game Pass members at this tier receive various discounts to buy games via the Xbox store.
