In case you missed the news, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions recently went up in price with the rollout of a new “Standard” tier, which doesn’t include day-one access to first-party Xbox games. Thankfully, if you’re still keen on an Ultimate membership, CDKeys is offering one-month subscription codes for $11.19 ($9 off) and three-month codes for $29.79 (about $30 off). These aren’t the lowest prices we’ve seen, but they sure beat paying the subscription’s new price of $19.99 a month.
If you need a refresher, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate grants access to a massive library of downloadable games for Xbox consoles and PCs. Naturally, that includes first-party titles like Halo Infinite and Hi-Fi Rush but also great third-party games like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Starfield. It’ll also grant you access to highly anticipated games due to be released soon, like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Fable, Perfect Dark, and other games that’ll be available within the next year or so. An Ultimate subscription also provides access to other perks including exclusive deals, an EA Play membership, and online multiplayer, making it a great value overall, especially at this discounted price.
We’re aware CDKeys isn’t a well-known merchant, but it’s a trusted retailer here at The Verge that often sells discounted gaming codes. That being said, if you would feel more comfortable making a purchase from a more reputable seller, Woot is offering three-month subscription codes for $36.49 and one-month codes for $13.79 until 1:59AM PT on September 14th.
