Sony would like the focus to be on its lower PlayStation Now pricing today, but Microsoft is more than happy to distract Xbox owners with a new deal.
- Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members get access to Discord Nitro, EA Access, and Spotify Premium trials. You can purchase Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from Amazon. Today, Microsoft announced a number of.
- Xbox have announced their Black Friday sale intentions, but before we get onto that we want to highlight one of the biggest deals the publisher has revealed – a Game Pass holiday bundle of crazy.
As The Verge reports, Microsoft offers an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription for $14.99 per month. It includes access to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold. But right now there's an extra benefit to signing up in the form of six months free access to Spotify Premium. That's worth $59.94.
This Spotify Premium and Xbox Game Pass 6 Months Free Trial Offer (the “ Premium and Xbox Game Pass 6 Months Free Trial Offer ”) is made available by Spotify (as defined in the Spotify Terms and Conditions of Use (“ Spotify Terms of Use ”). These terms and conditions (the “ Premium and Xbox Game Pass 6 Months Free Trial Offer Terms ”) supplement and incorporate by reference the Spotify Terms of Use If there is any inconsistency between these Premium and Xbox Game Pass 6 Months.
Spotify Premium allows you to play any song on the service without ad interruptions, listen offline, perform unlimited skips, and offers higher quality audio streams. It means if you'd rather listen to music while you game on Xbox, you can for free, at least for the next six months.
Xbox Game Pass offers Xbox One and PC owners over 100 games to play each month without any additional charges beyond the subscription. The games also change regularly so there's always something new to play. Add to that Xbox Live Gold and you unlock console multiplayer gaming, between two and four new games to play for free each month, and discounts of between 50-75 percent on Xbox One game purchases. That's a lot of value for under $180 a year, which is the equivalent of buying three new Xbox One titles.
If that's not enough of a deal, how about the first two months for $1 each? Sign up right now and that's what you'll get before reverting to the normal $14.99 price.
There are a couple of caveats to this deal to keep in mind. Firstly, if you've ever subscribed to Game Pass before, or are currently signed up, then you won't be able to take advantage of this deal. It's only for new subscribers. The same is true for Spotify. Anyone who has subscribed to Spotify Premium before or used a free trial period won't benefit from the free six month Premium access Microsoft is offering.
You may have heard of a lot of news about games lately but, truth be told, it’s mostly business as usual for some of these platform makers and developers. Google, Sony, and Microsoft have all been putting out new free games like clockwork, hoping to prove that there are still things that are alright in this world. For Xbox console gamers, that means another selection of new titles this May. That is if you hold an Xbox Game Pass.
The gaming biz has changed considerably in the past years, from IAPs to loot boxes to subscription services with a rotating list of free games per month. The latter keeps gamers on their toes, not to mention having them play more regularly to get their money’s worth. Fortunately, many of them now have more hours to burn as well.
Coming this May to Xbox’s Game Pass selection are two titles that will have you shooting for survival. While DayZ will have you blasting away icky mutated zombies, Red Dead Redemption 2 will have you hunting down outlaws in the Old West. For those who prefer some more thoughtful games, Final Fantasy IX and Fracture Minds will take you on journeys around a fantasy world as well as inside the human psyche.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members also have something for their ears this May. Those in the US will get a free 6-month Spotify Premium account while those in the UK, France, Germany, Australia, Mexico, and Brazil will only get three months free. The catch? Spotify premium free trial family. This is only valid for new Spotify Premium accounts.
Free Spotify Premium With Xbox Game Pass Online
As always, every new month also bids farewell to the old month’s free games. Grand Theft Auto V leaves the roster today, May 7th, while Black Desert, Doom, and The Banner Saga will wave goodbye on May 15. Xbox Game Pass members who have grown attached to these titles can, of course, buy them with a bit of a discount if they want.
