Xbox Game Pass Ultimate drops to lowest price just in time for the holidays

by

As a researcher who’s been juggling numerous subscriptions for quite some time now (Netflix, Spotify, and now even a subscription to a cat toy delivery service), I can confidently say that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is an exception to the rule. It’s not just another recurring bill; it’s a treasure trove of gaming goodness that keeps on giving!

The holiday period has arrived, which means it’s an ideal moment to grab a bargain on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Despite the recent increase in its price, it continues to be one of the most cost-effective subscriptions in the gaming world. Whether you aim to relax during the holidays or are planning to gift it to a fortunate new Xbox user, the offer from CDKeys is hard to resist.

At the moment, you have the opportunity to grab a 3-month subscription of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at just $25.49 from CDKeys – the best price we’ve found so far in 2022! Instead of wrapping gifts, make it easy by writing the code on a festive card instead. This thoughtful surprise is perfect for someone who might be receiving an Xbox, ROG Ally, or Lenovo Legion Go this holiday season.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the best way to access the biggest titles right now

I’ll admit, managing endless subscriptions—from Amazon Prime to Netflix—can feel overwhelming, especially as the costs stack up. But when it comes to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, it’s the one subscription I genuinely feel saves me money as there’s no way I’d be able to afford all of the games I want to try. Gaming is already an expensive hobby, but having access to a massive library of titles through Game Pass means I’m playing more games—and discovering ones I wouldn’t have tried otherwise. We’ve just published our Windows Central Game Awards, and many of our chosen winners just happen to be available on Xbox Game Pass. Hellblade 2, Fallout 76, Vampire Survivors and of course the blockbuster Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

This Year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was quite unexpected for me, as I haven’t played this series in a while and I wouldn’t categorize myself as a fan of first-person shooter games. However, thanks to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, I didn’t have to shell out $70 to join my friends who were all hooked on the game; it was included in my subscription instead. Admittedly, I’ve splurged on a Battle Pass and an extravagant holiday sweater since then, but that’s my own expense to deal with.

The true charm of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate lies in the vast selection of games you can play with it. From epic cinematic journeys to hidden indie treasures, there’s a game for every taste. Moreover, the Ultimate tier offers benefits such as Xbox Cloud Gaming, exclusive discounts, and additional content. This holiday offer presents an ideal chance to either gift or purchase the subscription; if you already have one, you can even add it on top, but keep in mind that Microsoft has recently capped it at 13 months.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate continues to improve, and its newest feature makes it an even more attractive deal: the Xbox Cloud Gaming service now incorporates the Bring Your Own Games program. This means you can stream an expanding roster of games you already own straight from the cloud, without needing any downloads – ideal for playing on-the-go. It’s actually helped me save money; I was planning to buy Balatro for mobile, but since it’s available in the Cloud Gaming library, I can now play it on my phone as part of my subscription.

Not only does the expanding collection of Play Anywhere games and Xbox Cloud Gaming function smoothly on portable devices such as the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, but this convenience allows for easier gaming on-the-go. Meanwhile, we continue to anticipate the official Xbox handheld. If you happen to own a Steam Deck, you can set up cloud gaming with minor adjustments, thereby expanding the ways in which you can savor the extensive Game Pass library.

As we move forward, there’s a lot to look forward to! The arrival of Indiana Jones is generating a lot of excitement, and we can expect Obsidian’s game, Avowed, to hit the shelves in February.

At CDKeys, you can enjoy a fantastic deal for only $25.49 over a span of 3 months, making it an ideal present for yourself or as a thoughtful gaming gift this festive season.
