Get Game Pass Ultimate
While you can enjoy an Xbox without Microsoft’s Game Pass service, we highly recommend you give it a shot. Game Pass is easily the best deal in gaming right now, and will provide you with a large list of great games to check out, many of which can be downloaded and installed in minutes. In particular, all Microsoft-published games, like Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5, come free with a Game Pass sub. The Game Pass Ultimate tier also provides you with Xbox Live Gold, letting you play games like GTA Online and Back 4 Blood online as well as giving you free games every month via the Games With Gold program. Ultimate includes free PC games and cloud streaming, too. It’s worth the upgrade.
