Even if some ofMicrosoft’s own first-party games aren’t hitting the service on day one anymore, Game Pass Ultimate is still an excellent service that’s worth paying for. I think my favorite thing about it personally is the ease of playing across different platforms. If I have a game I’m playing on agaming PCor Xbox Series X, and I need to hop onto a train or somewhere else, I can still use the cloud streaming app to continue my progress in whatever I was playing.
That said, if you aren’t looking to use the multiplatform prowess of Game Pass Ultimate, there are cheaper alternatives. Game Pass for PC gives you access to all the same games, as well as an EA Play membership, but no cloud streaming or access on Xbox - all for $9.99/month. If you only want online multiplayer access on an Xbox console and a smaller list of curated games to play, then Xbox Game Pass Core is the cheapest option at $9.99/month. There’s also Game Pass for Consoles that gives you that more basic tier of benefits, plus access to the library, for $10.99/month.
Prime Day PC dealsare also on the go, as arePrime Day Meta Quest deals, andPrime Day Kindle deals.

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I’ve been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my ownYouTube channelabout my love of games too. These days, I’m one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.Location: UK Remote
