Xbox Game Pass discounts are not combinable with other offers and are not redeemable for cash. In a way I’m glad, because if they also come to the conclusion that the only thing that matters is good games then it will all be for the best. Xbox Game Pass members can purchase Xbox games for up to 20 off (DLC and add-ons for up to 10 off) before the game leaves the active Xbox Game Pass catalog. Maybe other games, that are further out will, but I think Microsoft also realise that a real turnaround is a long way off and that’s why they’re panicking. Xbox Game Pass - 3-Month Subscription Play new games like Starfield on day one and enjoy hundreds of high-quality games on console for one low monthly price. But I don’t think any of the upcoming games are going to make that difference (personally, I’ve always thought Bethesda very overrated). So maybe when they do finally have something to brag about, we’ll see Phil Spencer finally get his bonus. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate combines Xbox Live Gold with over 100 high-quality games for console, PC and supported Android mobile devices (beta), all for one low monthly price.

But Game Pass proves that even amazing value is not as big a draw as quality. If it was, I don’t think I’d be interested anymore. Together, we have seen it amplify the power of gaming to unlock discovery of new adventures, bring fun and enjoyment to a day, and make it possible to connect from afar. I’d hate if that was the future of gaming. Since we launched Xbox Game Pass, you’ve shared that it creates amazing experiences for you and your communities. My great fear for Game Pass, and this would be the same if Sony was doing it, is that it will become too popular and it would become even more like Netflix, where the content itself matters less and less, just the fact that there’s a lot of it and it’s superficially entertaining.
