Thislatest 35% Amazon discount makes the subscription even more affordable, while Xbox Cloud Gaming lets you play supported games without downloading them.

Who can claim the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Amazon discount?
The standard three-month digital code can be redeemed by both new and existing Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. However, keep in mind that this is a UK code, so make sure it’s compatible with the region associated with your Microsoft account.
Better still, existing Ultimate subscribers can add the three months to their current membership. For example, if you have one month remaining, redeeming the code should extend your subscription to four months.
If you’re subscribed to a different Game Pass tier, conversion rates may apply, so it’s worth checking the redemption terms before purchasing.
What’s included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate?
With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you gain access to hundreds of games across Xbox consoles and PC. These include first-party Xbox releases such as Gears of War: E-Day and Halo: Campaign Evolved, alongside third-party AAA blockbusters, indie gems and retro classics.
Speaking of first-party games, Ultimate also offers day-one access to select new releases, including the upcoming Fable reboot, which launches on 23 February 2027.
Other perks include EA Play, offering access to a library of EA-published games and selected trials, including EA Sports FC 27. The full game is expected to join EA Play at a later date, while members can also benefit from a 10% discount on eligible EA digital purchases, including FC Points.
Of course, there’s also online console multiplayer, Xbox Cloud Gaming for supported titles, exclusive member discounts and additional in-game benefits.
