You can get three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for almost half off
The Verge highlights a discounted deal on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, offering three months of the subscription for significantly less than its standard price. The offer is notable because recurring Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions have become harder to justify, even after Microsoft recently lowered the monthly price, making a rare deep discount on a multi-month code more appealing to gamers.
A three-month digital code, normally valued at $69, is available via marketplace site Eneba for $39.01, a saving of roughly 43%. Game Pass Ultimate provides full access to the Xbox game library, including first-party titles and online multiplayer, plus PC access through the Xbox app. The deal is timed ahead of the 28 July launch of Halo: Campaign Evolved on Xbox and PC, meaning subscribers can play it without buying the standalone $49.99 remake.
In short
- Xbox Game Pass Ultimate three-month code discounted to $39.01, down from $69
- Deal offered via marketplace site Eneba, roughly 43% off
- Coincides with Halo: Campaign Evolved's 28 July launch on Xbox and PC
Explained simply
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a subscription service from Microsoft that gives access to games on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs. The service includes games made by Microsoft as well as games from other companies, along with online multiplayer features.
Monthly subscriptions have become expensive enough that many gamers question the value. Microsoft recently lowered the price, but significant discounts on multi-month codes remain uncommon, making them noteworthy when they appear.
An upcoming major game release called Halo: Campaign Evolved will be automatically included with Game Pass subscriptions when it launches, meaning subscribers can play it without buying it separately.
