The holiday season is upon us, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to snag an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate deal. Despite a price increase earlier this year, it still stands as one of the most valuable subscriptions in the gaming world. Whether you’re looking to take some downtime over the holidays or you want to delight a new Xbox owner’s day, this offer from CDKeys is too good to miss.
Right now, you can grab three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for just $25.49 at CDKeys—the most affordable price we’ve seen this year! If it’s a gift, skip the gift wrap and write the code in a festive card. It’s a delightful surprise for anyone unwrapping an Xbox, ROG Ally, or Lenovo Legion Go this holiday season.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is your gateway to the biggest titles out there. I’ll be honest, juggling multiple subscriptions like Amazon Prime and Netflix can become overwhelming, particularly as costs pile up. However, in the case of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, it feels like a genuine money-saver. There’s no way I could afford to purchase every game I’m curious about. Gaming is already pricey, but having access to a massive library with Game Pass lets me try out games I’d otherwise skip. In fact, many of our recent Windows Central Game Awards winners, including Hellblade 2, Fallout 76, Vampire Survivors, and the massive Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, are available on Game Pass.
This year, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 caught me off guard. I hadn’t picked up the series in ages and wouldn’t generally call myself an FPS aficionado. Thanks to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, though, I didn’t need to shell out $70 to join my friends who were all caught up in the game’s frenzy. It was included in my subscription. Now, I’ve ended up buying a Battle Pass and a silly Christmas jumper for my virtual character, but hey, I can’t blame that on my subscription.
What makes Xbox Game Pass Ultimate truly appealing is the sheer variety of games at your disposal. Whether you’re into grand cinematic escapades or indie treasures, there’s something for everyone. Plus, the Ultimate tier offers additional perks like Xbox Cloud Gaming, exclusive discounts, and more content. This holiday offer is a perfect time to treat yourself or gift someone a subscription. You can even stack it on top of your current subscription, but keep in mind Microsoft recently capped it at 13 months.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate keeps upping its game, and the newest feature only adds more value: Xbox Cloud Gaming now includes the Bring Your Own Games program. This allows you to stream a growing list of owned titles straight from the cloud, requiring no downloads—ideal for gaming on the move. I’ve already saved money using this; I almost bought Balatro for my phone but realized it was included in my Cloud Gaming library.
Even better, with the expanding library of Play Anywhere titles, Xbox Cloud Gaming works seamlessly on handheld devices like the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, making gaming on the move effortless while we wait for the official Xbox handheld to hit the market. Even with a Steam Deck, you can get cloud gaming up and running with some tweaks, further broadening ways to enjoy the immense Game Pass library.
Looking ahead, there’s plenty to get excited about. The Indiana Jones game recently dropped, creating a buzz, and Obsidian’s Avowed is releasing in February.
For $25.49 for three months at CDKeys, it’s the perfect way to spoil yourself or share the joy of gaming this holiday season.
If you’re wondering whether you can share Xbox Game Pass with someone else, the answer is yes. You just need to sign in on their Xbox with your account, then navigate to Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization. Next, go to My home Xbox and select Make this my home Xbox. This way, anyone on that console can play your games and access Game Pass titles, though only you will enjoy the Game Pass exclusive perks and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
