Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is $15 per month, includes both Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass – report

Microsoft is reportedly working on a new subscription service that bundles Xbox Live Gold together with Xbox Game Pass.

The service, dubbed Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, is said to cost $15 per month. The news was first reported by Twitter user h0x0d, before The Verge confirmed it with its own sources.

$15 is $5 less than what users would pay for the two services combined, and it makes a lot of sense. H0x0d says Xbox Insiders will be able to try it out at just $1 until it’s available to everyone else.

The Xbox One S All-Digital edition, the disc-less console, is said to be unveiled later this month alongside the service. A disc-less console would need to rely on exclusively on digital games, and Game Pass would be an excellent starting point.

Microsoft may even decide to bundle the upcoming console with one or three months of Game Pass Ultimate to make it a more interesting proposition. Nevertheless, it’s clear Microsoft’s transformation into a services company is starting to take shape on Xbox.
