Here’s how to get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at the old price

Microsoft recently announced price hikes for some tiers of Xbox Game Pass, including Ultimate and PC Game Pass. The Ultimate tier, which offers the most games and features (as well as access to PC Game Pass), went from $19.99 per month to $29.99. Those who subscribe to PC Game Pass are now being charged $16.49 per month, up from $11.99.

You’ll pay those prices right now if you go through Microsoft’s retail channels to subscribe. Don’t do that! Instead, if you plan to stay with the service, you should consider buying through other retailers that are still selling access to those tiers of service at their previous prices.

You can get a one-month subscription to Game Pass Ultimate for $19.99 at Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, or Walmart. Then there’s the three-month option for $59.99 from Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, and Walmart, which is like getting one month free at the current rate. As for PC Game Pass, Amazon, GameStop, and Best Buy sell a three-month bundle for $35.99, reflecting the previous price.
