The price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has fluctuated between $20 and $30 per month over the last year, but you can get three months of the top plan for around $19 per month. At Newegg, using the coupon code BNWF2656 at checkout knocks $11 off the usual cost of a three-month subscription. That brings the price down to just $57.99 for three months. In addition to full access to over 500 games on both Xbox consoles and Windows PC machines, the upgraded Ultimate plan includes EA Play and Ubisoft Plus Classics, which have their own libraries and benefits, and Fortnite Crew for full access to the Fortnite battles passes. On Xbox, Ultimate enables online multiplayer, as well.
Previously a straightforward proposition, the service has undergone a variety of changes over the last year that has made it slightly less appealing. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate was previously $29.99 per month, but earlier this year Microsoft removed the Call of Duty games from the library, and in the process dropped the price to $22.99.
More recently, Microsoft added hourly limits to cloud gaming. All Game Pass plan subscribers previously enjoyed an unlimited amount of cloud gaming on their computer or mobile device, but now plans scale the number of included hours, with the Ultimate plan including 15 hours per month. That news came just weeks before announcing pay-as-you-go plans for non-Game Pass subscribers.
