The holiday season has arrived, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to score a deal on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Even with a price increase this year, it remains one of the most cost-effective subscriptions for gaming enthusiasts. Whether you’re looking to relax during the holidays or searching for the ideal gift for a new Xbox owner, the offer at CDKeys is truly unbeatable.
At the moment, you can grab three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for just $25.49 at CDKeys. This is the lowest price we’ve encountered all year! If you’re gifting, sidestep the wrapping ordeal by simply jotting the code on a festive card. It’s the perfect surprise for someone who might be unwrapping an Xbox, ROG Ally, or a Lenovo Legion Go this season.
When it comes to accessing the hottest titles right now, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is your best bet. I’ll be the first to admit, juggling endless subscriptions—from Amazon Prime to Netflix—can feel overwhelming and costly. However, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the one subscription I can confidently say saves me money. There’s no way I could afford all the games I want to explore without it. Gaming isn’t cheap, but having a massive library at my fingertips means I’m not only playing more games but also discovering ones I might have overlooked otherwise. Our recently published Windows Central Game Awards feature several winners available on Xbox Game Pass, including Hellblade 2, Fallout 76, Vampire Survivors, and, of course, the blockbuster Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
I was particularly surprised by Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 this year. It’s not a series I’ve kept up with, and I wouldn’t typically classify myself as an FPS fan. But thanks to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, I didn’t need to shell out $70 to join my friends who were all hooked on the game—it was included in my subscription. Sure, I’ve since spent money on a Battle Pass and a rather silly Christmas Jumper, but that’s my own choice.
The true charm of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate lies in the variety of games available. Whether you’re into grand cinematic adventures or indie treasures, there’s something for everyone. Plus, the Ultimate tier brings perks like Xbox Cloud Gaming, exclusive discounts, and additional content. This holiday offer is the perfect chance to either gift someone or treat yourself. You can even stack it on an existing subscription, although Microsoft recently limited this to 13 months.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate keeps evolving, making it an even better deal. The latest addition is Xbox Cloud Gaming, which now includes the Bring Your Own Games program. This feature allows you to stream a growing list of owned titles directly from the cloud without any downloads—a fantastic option for gaming on the move. It’s already saved me from buying Balatro on mobile, as it’s part of the Cloud Gaming library and I can enjoy it on my phone with my subscription.
Additionally, the expanding library of Play Anywhere titles and Xbox Cloud Gaming function seamlessly on handhelds like the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, making gaming on the go easy, especially while we wait for an official Xbox handheld. Even if you have a Steam Deck, a few adjustments will enable cloud gaming, expanding your access to the extensive Game Pass library.
There’s a lot to look forward to. Indiana Jones is out and generating plenty of excitement, and Obsidian’s Avowed is set to launch in February.
At just $25.49 for three months through CDKeys, it’s the ideal way to indulge yourself or share the joy of gaming this holiday season.
Many wonder if they can share Xbox Game Pass with others. The good news is, yes, you can. To share, sign in on another Xbox with your account. Go to Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization. Then, navigate to My home Xbox and select Make this my home Xbox. Now anyone using this console can access your games and those in the Game Pass subscription, although they won’t have access to specific perks and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
