In today's gaming, every single console now requires players to subscribe to a premium service in order to access most online features. Every year, prices for those subscriptions continue to increase, but luckily for Xbox One players, Newegg is currently offering a promotion that gives players six-month access to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate service for cheap.
Currently, a standard Xbox Game Pass subscription goes for about $15 per month. However, Newegg is offering a 3-month subscription to the service for $44.99. The deal includes an additional 3 months for free for that price, and Newegg is also offering a promo code that slashes $5 off, making the final price $39.99 for 6 months access. To use the promo, players must click the link provided below, and enter the code: EMCUTVY32 upon check out. A pro tip from some Twitter users that by turning on recurring payments, that you can turn off right after, would include additional 1-month access, which totals to 7 months all in all. People who have taken advantage of the deal also confirmed that it is available for players who are already subscribed to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
For those unfamiliar with the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, the subscription combines the Xbox Game Pass with the Xbox Live Gold service in one package. The Xbox Game Pass is a Netflix-type subscription service that provides players monthly access to a library of games that can be played via streaming and download. On the other hand, Xbox Live Gold is required to access online features and also offers monthly free games for players to try.
Newegg's Xbox Game Pass Ultimate deal is also a must-buy for players interested in purchasing a new Xbox One console. Right now, Microsoft is offering the Robot White 1TB version of the Xbox One X, with an additional second controller for $399. The Xbox One X is the pro-version of the original Xbox One that features beefier internals, and 4K support.
However, for those who want to try their luck in getting an Xbox One for free, Microsoft and Taco Bell are offering a promotion that will reward winners with a free Xbox One X console. The promotion is available now until November 23 and only requires participants to order a Double Chalupa Box to get a unique code for a chance to win the Xbox One X Eclipse Bundle.
