Xbox Game Pass is genuinely the next best thing since sliced bread. If you pack it with Live Gold and everything else for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you've got the best thing since the wheel. We're serious (kinda).
The game subscription platform is damn good though. With its enormous library of games, there's no doubt that it can blow away even the most cynical of gamers. Ultimate is also the place to be with access to Xbox Live Gold, Game Pass on consoles and PC, alongside Cloud Gaming on your portable devices, and the brand new EA Play deal. It doesn't even stop there. You might have heard about the recent Microsoft acquisition of Zenimax and Bethesda for $7.5 billion.
That's right, Doom Eternal and Skyrim are already on Game Pass, alongside a few other future Bethesda Game Studios titles like Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 in the coming years. This also means that Obsidian and Bethesda are now sister studios, so Fallout New Vegas 2 is actually a possibility again. If you're on Xbox, you're going to want to be on Game Pass as well. While you're here, you should probably also check out all the other brilliant deals on video games at the moment, alongside new deals on Xbox consoles, and deals on Xbox games.

Not only that, but with Xbox Game Pass providing you access to so many incredible titles, it can be hard to fit them all in one place. Plus, with the new Seagate SSD costing $219.99 at the Microsoft Store or Best Buy, you may want to use a Hard Drive to store all your games as a cheaper alternative, and then simply move them onto the Xbox Series X/S SSD when you want to play.
