Looking for a eleventh-hour gift for the gamer in your life? If you’ve already done your due diligence and looked into fantastic Xbox deals, this game pass deal is a must-have. Right now StackSocial is offering one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $8, which is a 46% discount from the usual monthly price of $15.
Ask any regular Xbox user and they’ll tell you that the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is where it’s at. Gain access to over 100 games on Xbox consoles — Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S — as well as Windows PCs. The Ultimate membership includes Xbox Live Gold, Games with Gold and console multiplayer, as well as access to EA Play, which offers several dozen additional games from the Electronic Arts catalog. Other free perks include in-game content and being able to play games on your phone or tablet from the cloud (on compatible titles and devices).
Before you grab the deal, it’s worth noting that for brand-new users, Xbox offers a $1, 14-day trial, which is arguably a better deal. However, the StackSocial deal works for former subscribers whose pass has expired, as well as new users. The deal is not stackable and your account must be new or already expired to redeem. The code must be redeemed within 30 days of use. It’s also important to note that after one month, the subscription will automatically renew at the full monthly price of $15 per month.
