Now is a great time to invest in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Not only does it package together two great subscription services, but there is currently a deal available that will be hard to turn down. Retailers are offering a generous discount on the pass, netting a three-month subscription for only half the price.
Amazon US and Best Buy are participating in the promotion, selling a three-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for a mere $22.99. Deals like this come and go, so it isn’t exactly a “once in a blue moon” situation, but like those deals, it is only available for a limited time. Those interested will need to act fast, whether it be to start a new membership or extend an existing one.
