Give the gift of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate this Christmas
So many benefits to stuff under the tree this year
This holiday, if you're looking to dive into a seriously enviable game library across Xbox and PC, then give the gift of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
With your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription each month there are so many benefits it can be easy to get a little lost. But that's where we come in. We're here to guide you through exactly what you get with a membership, and how it works across Xbox and PC.
A whole library of adventures
With your subscription, you'll gain access to over 400 games, ranging from old to brand, sparkling new. You'll have the mammoth Xbox Game Pass library available to you at the touch of a button on your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, PC and other supported devices, including the new Asus ROG Xbox Ally X.
The benefit of such a vast library is that there is genuinely something for everyone, from the award-winning Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Hollow Knight: Silksong, to Blue Prince and Diablo IV. And most of those arrived on Xbox Game Pass on their release date too. It's such a great way to try a ton of games without paying up front for each one.
You could literally play a brand new game every single day, all year round with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate if you really wanted to.
It's not just third-party games that drop on Xbox Game Pass either. This Ultimate tier is the one that gives you Xbox games the very same day that they're released. This year, that's included Avowed, The Outer Worlds 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and many, many more.
Plus, you're picking a great time to sign up yourself or your loved ones because 2026 is looking spectacular, with highly anticipated games like Fable, Forza Horizon 6, Halo: Campaign Evolved, and Gears of War: E-Day all dropping Day One on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Going beyond the Xbox Game Pass library
It's not just about the Game Pass library, though, and all those new releases. Yes, there's more.
Another incredible feature of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is its offerings from Ubisoft and EA, and access to Fortnite Crew.
Ubisoft+ Classics lets you play over 50 iconic games from franchises like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Trials, Tom Clancy's The Division, Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon, and Watch Dogs. Great right?
Then there's EA Play, which gives you unlimited access to a collection of EA's top titles, 10-hour trials of select games (including EA Sports FC 26), member rewards, and a 10% discount on EA digital purchases. And yes, that discount covers DLC, points packs, and game downloads.
EA Play includes fantastic games like The Sims, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Madden NFL 25, UFC 5, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, It Takes Two, Dead Space, and a whole lot more. All included as part of your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
Finally you've got Fortnite Crew. It's usually a separate monthly membership, but it's all included with Game Pass Ultimate. It gets you access to the current Battle Pass, OG Pass, LEGO Pass, Music Pass, and Rocket Pass Premium within Fortnite, which is absolutely masses of gameplay time without even leaving the battle bus car park. And if that's not enough, you also get 1000 V-Bucks each month to spend, all because of your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
Finally, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate gives you in-game benefits for titles like the iconic Riot Games MOBA League of Legends, as well as the hugely popular Call of Duty: Warzone.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the ultimate gift for gamers, and if you want to play the latest titles on day one, this is the best way to do it.
