The Xbox console is the host for several subscription services.
To play online with friends and strangers, users need an Xbox Live account – or even better, Xbox Live Gold, which comes with online play and a handful of free games each month for about $5 a month.
But, there is a cheaper alternative designed for players who want access to more titles and bundled subscriptions.
Sign up for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and get the first three months for just $1.
Many games are made free by signing up, but Xbox says players get a “hefty” discount by purchasing games through the Game Pass catalog.
That way, the games will remain on your console even after they’ve been removed from the Game Pass platform.
After three months, the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate reverts to the standard price of $14.99 a month.
Game Pass Ultimate includes Xbox Live Gold, PC Game Pass for players who prefer desktop gaming, EA Play for sports-based games, and more.

Game Pass Ultimate can be used on multiple devices – just sign in with your username and password.
