Save $5 on 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

SAVE $5: Walmart and Amazon have three-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate memberships on sale for just $39.99 (normally $44.99) as of Aug. 3 — an 11% savings.

Being a membership service that offers access to hundreds of titles for one monthly fee, Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass has frequently been called "the Netflix for video games." That should probably be amended now that Netflix is actually planning an expansion into the market, but it doesn't change the fact that the Game Pass is still one of the best deals in gaming — even more so right now.

As of Aug. 3, you could score a three-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership on sale for just $39.99 at Amazon or Walmart. They typically sell for $44.99, so you're saving a good 11%.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the highest tier package for the service, combining all the perks of the standard Xbox Game Pass for console and PC (including 100+ high-quality games, release-day access to Xbox Game Studio titles, and exclusive discounts) with Xbox Live Gold. The latter gets you an additional two free games to play each month plus access to online console play — i.e, it's a must if you want to hop on Red Dead Online, Minecraft, or Sea of Thieves with a pal.

Click here to see a complete list of the titles that are currently up for grabs with the Game Pass — the last time we checked, there were close to 400 available for console and about 280 for PC.

Oh, and by the way: If you're not a big multiplayer person but want something new to play on your Corsair or Razer, Amazon also has standard Xbox Game Pass for PC subscriptions on sale. Get three months' worth for just $24.29, or 19% off retail price.
