Subscribing to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on a recurring basis has been tough to justify recently, even after Microsoft reduced the monthly cost from $29.99 to $22.99. But you can get a better deal on a three-month subscription (valued at $69) by grabbing a digital code at Eneba that costs $39.01 at the time of publication.
Game Pass Ultimate grants you access to the full Game Pass library on Xbox (compared to a more limited slice with Premium), including first-party titles and online multiplayer access. The subscription also gives PC gamers access to Microsoft’s catalog of Game Pass games through the Xbox app, though the selection differs a bit between console and desktop.
You don’t need me to tell you why deals like these are nice. The costs of subscriptions generally only go in one direction over time, and it is becoming more rare to find worthwhile discounts that give you a break. If you want to jump into Halo: Campaign Evolved when it launches July 28th on Xbox and PC, all you need is this subscription instead of buying the $49.99 re-remake.
