Xbox Game Pass gets flood of new games, EA Access, and more

If it wasn’t clear already, Microsoft really wants you to give Xbox Game Pass a try. To ensure you consider jumping aboard this holiday, the company overloaded the pot with sweetener at its X019 event in London today. Game Pass is getting over 50 new games. And the $15-per-month Ultimate tier starts at $1 for the first 3 months while also coming with a ton of bonsues.

Let’s start with those bonuses. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate already includes Xbox Live Gold as well as Game Pass for both PC and console. It’s a great service at $15-per-month, and $1 for 3 months makes it harmless to try. Game Pass also gets you discounts when you go to buy content like expansions or even full games. But Microsoft is adding to the list of goodies through some key partnerships. Ultimate subscribers now get 1 month of EA Access, 3 months of Discord Nitro, and 6 months of Spotify Premium.
