Xbox Live, Game pass and Game Pass Ultimate Subscription Deals

Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass memberships broaden the online console experience

The Xbox Live eco-system has been around now for almost a decade and a half, being an online platform that console players can visit and enjoy when wanting to connect with others. Doing this is all well and good, but your experience can be significantly improved if you’re subscribed to one or both of Xbox’s subscription options: Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass.

The first is your primary method in which to play online multiplayer games; without an Xbox Live Gold membership you simply cannot do this. Luckily, the sting is removed a bit in that Gold also gifts members four free games per month to keep forever. Xbox Game Pass, on the other hand, works more like a Netflix-style rotating library of games, saving you money than if you were to buy each game you play outright. Both memberships can be combined into what’s called Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
