For those that don't already have the Xbox Game Pass deal, there are a few things you should know that might help make the decision to join a little easier. With the Xbox Game Pass service, there are two options to choose from with the Xbox Game Pass and the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Both offer Team Green fans a chance to play over 100 titles at no additional cost, including day-one launches of first-party titles. With the acquisition of Bethesda, there will be even more incentive to join up with this particular service.
Xbox Game Pass is $9.99 a month, whereas Xbox Game Pass Ultimate comes in at $14.99 and includes Xbox Live Gold. It's a pretty good deal, especially for those that are picky with their games. With EA's library joining the fray and rumors of Ubisoft Plus possibly merging as well, this deal is honestly one of the better ones out there currently on the market.
