Save on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with this neat trick

Although the service itself is great, it's no secret that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate deals are often pricey. A three-month membership will set you back $40 / £30, for example. However, this cool workaround lets you get four months for a lot less: buy an annual EA Play subscription for a discounted $26.99 / £18.99 at CD Keys and you can redeem it on your console for four months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. That essentially saves you $10 / £10 in the process.

  • EA Play deal (12 months) | $26.99 / £18.99 at CD Keys

Because you can stack Xbox Game Pass Ultimate deals, this also means you can quickly top up for a year-long membership at a fraction of the cost. To be precise, you can get three EA Play codes one after the other for $81 / £57 in total and then redeem them all for 12 months of Game Pass. That's a good amount less than the $160 / £120 it would cost you in equivalent three-month Ultimate cards. 

Happily, these offers are all digital as well. That means you don't need to worry about waiting for delivery - the codes appear in your inbox almost straight away.

Get this 12-month offer on EA Play and redeem it for four months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Because the deal stacks, you can quickly build up a full year of Ultimate for a fraction of the usual cost.

If you're on the fence about Game Pass, it's worth taking the plunge thanks to this offer. It's like Netflix for gaming: you get access to more than 100 games each month, and that library includes everything from new hits like Control to classics such as the Gears of War series. You'll also get all Xbox exclusives at no extra cost as and when they launch. The service is honestly one the best things that Xbox has done in the last few years.

For more offers, be sure to check out our page of Xbox Game Pass deals, PS Plus deals, and ways of getting Nintendo Switch Online cheap.

I've been writing about games in one form or another since 2012, but these days you'll find me managing GamesRadar+'s tabletop gaming and toy coverage (I spend my time here handling everything from board game reviews to the latest Lego news). I've also been obsessed with Warhammer since the 1990s, and love nothing more than running tabletop RPGs like D&D as a Dungeon Master.
