Newegg sells three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for about $19 per month

Newegg is selling three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $57.99 with coupon code BNWF2656 entered at checkout, which comes to roughly $19 per month after the $11 discount, The Verge reported Nov. 9, 2026.

Microsoft charged $29.99 per month for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate during 2025, then cut the price to $22.99 in April 2026 following subscriber backlash, Engadget reported Sept. 29, 2026. The Verge tied the reduction to Microsoft’s removal of Call of Duty games from its library.

In October 2025, CNET reported that Amazon offered a three-month Game Pass Ultimate subscription at $55, about $18 per month with $35 in savings, following Microsoft’s increase to $30 per month. CNET said stacking the codes is probably not possible, so they cannot be redeemed by someone who already holds an active membership, and noted this is unconfirmed. CNET reported Oct. 23, 2025 that the service first sold for $15 per month when unveiled.

Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate plan no longer includes unlimited cloud streaming; the plan is capped at 15 hours of cloud streaming each month starting in November, The Verge and Engadget reported. The Verge said that before hourly limits, subscribers could game in the cloud without limits on computers or mobile devices. Engadget reported Sept. 29, 2026 that local downloads and gameplay remain unlimited despite the cloud-streaming cap. Microsoft announced pay-as-you-go plans for non-subscribers shortly after introducing hourly cloud-gaming limits, The Verge reported Nov. 9, 2026.

TweakTown reported Oct. 6, 2026 that the cloud-streaming reduction takes effect in November alongside the release of GTA 6, which launches on Xbox on Nov. 19, 2026. Matt Ball, Xbox’s chief strategy officer, said the game will not be an exclusive stream or come to PC. TweakTown said Microsoft plans paid streaming packages for gamers and is testing free ad-supported streaming that might reach a wide release before or around the GTA 6 launch.

The Verge reported Nov. 9, 2026 that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes more than 500 games across Xbox consoles and Windows PC along with EA Play, Ubisoft Plus Classics and Fortnite Crew access, plus online console multiplayer. Engadget said Sept. 29, 2026 that the monthly Fortnite Crew Pack includes entry to the premium Battle Pass, OG Pass, LEGO Pass, Music Pass, and Rocket Pass Premium, plus 1,000 V-Bucks each month. The tier is the top of four subscription levels, Engadget reported.

Engadget said Sept. 29, 2026 that Ultimate subscribers get day-one access to new releases while lower tiers may wait up to a year, plus store discounts reaching 30 percent off select games and add-ons. Engadget reported Sept. 29, 2026 that members earn four times more points on game and add-on purchases, with 10 percent of eligible game purchases returned as points. Engadget reported that every Game Pass tier bills monthly and that Microsoft offers no one-year subscription or other price-saving billing options.
