Introducing the Xbox Starter Bundle, Microsoft has launched a new deal just in time for the holiday season. For the same price of $299, you can now get the Xbox Series S console bundled with three months of Game Pass Ultimate. This offer provides everything you need to start playing right away, including the 512GB Xbox Series S (not the 1TB model) along with its controller. The three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership included in this bundle is worth noting, as it typically costs $16.99 per month. While one-dollar trials and free months are often available, three months is still a decent amount of time to try out numerous games and play with friends. Even if you choose not to continue with the Game Pass subscription, your game progress will be saved indefinitely.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offers immediate access to a wide selection of games, including popular new releases like Starfield. It also enables multiplayer gaming and allows for cloud streaming on mobile, desktop, and Xbox devices. This feature is particularly helpful if you wish to try out a game before downloading it. Additionally, subscribers gain access to EA Play, an Electronic Arts subscription that provides even more titles than Game Pass Ultimate, including games from renowned series like Battlefield. Subscribers can also enjoy a free trial for EA's newest titles, such as EA Sports FC 24. With a range of options available, there is something for every player.
For those interested, the Xbox Starter Bundle is available for just $299.99. This price matches the standard cost of the standalone Xbox Series S, and it includes a free, albeit limited, Game Pass Ultimate subscription. The bundle is currently open for pre-order, with shipping scheduled to begin on October 31st.
