So that’s console and PC, but what about Cloud Gaming? Well, Microsoft’s game-streaming service doesn’t cost anything extra but is now available in 22 countries. You’ll also save on DLC and any add-ons or microtransactions, too.
First-party games appear to stay indefinitely, but others don’t – and a 10% discount for those at risk of leaving Game Pass is a good incentive to pick it up for good. Of course, you can opt to purchase games outright. It’s a fun way to incentivize breaking out of your gaming comfort zone, and there’s no risk of buyer’s remorse since the games are included with your membership. Usually a $4.99 / £4.99 a month purchase on its own, EA Play is just another string to Game Pass’ bow.

Playing any of the games on each platform will earn Achievements and Gamerscore as you would usually, and a “Quest” system lets you turn in rewards based on trying new games or completing set tasks. While PC players don’t get quite as many titles, they do get access to a wealth of indie darlings like Katana Zero, AAA-quality games like Gears 5, and everything in between. Thanks to backward compatibility, you can jump from the latest releases like DOOM Eternal to classics like Alan Wake and Ninja Gaiden 2, to the likes of Fuzion Frenzy, a game that launched alongside the original Xbox console. Whichever membership you go for, you’re in for a wide array of titles from both first and third-parties from every generation of Xbox hardware. While this is currently being trialled in just the Republic of Ireland and Colombia, Microsoft is looking to launch an Xbox Game Pass family plan, allowing you and four players to jump in for a monthly cost of €21.99 – which comes to around $21.99 / £19.99 / AU$32.99.
If you're hoping to get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for an even cheaper price, we've got good news.
