Microsoft announced this week that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members, new and old, can get free subscriptions to Apple Music and Apple TV+. The offer is available to players on consoles and PC.
The company has been offering limited-time Xbox Game Pass Ultimate perks since 2020 that provided members with months of free trials of various subscription and streaming services. This time, Apple’s music and TV/movie streaming services are made available to Ultimate members without additional cost to their monthly subscription fee.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can get three-month access to both Apple Music and Apple TV+, which costs $4.99/month and $6.99/month, respectively. They can redeem their free trial anytime until March 31, 2023, through their Xbox consoles and the Xbox app on Windows PC. Subscribers can activate the free trial until the said date as well.
Xbox pointed out in a blog post that offering free access to Apple Music and Apple TV+ is perfectly timed for the holidays. But it is also worth noting that the free trials were announced a few weeks after the Apple Music app became available on Xbox consoles and Xbox app, which allowed gamers to play their favorite music in the background while playing video games.
Apple Music is popular for offering lossless and Hi-Res music quality, as well as spatial audio support, at no additional cost. Meanwhile, Apple TV+ has become known for its award-winning original titles, such as Emmy winner “Ted Lasso” and Oscar Best Picture awardee “CODA.”
Microsoft has partnered with major third-party companies to beef up the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate perks. In the past couple of years, Ultimate subscribers have had their chance to access Crunchyroll Premium, Disney+, and Paramount+ for free.
Previous Xbox Game Pass Ultimate perks were typically only available to new users of the service being offered. For example, when Microsoft brought back the free Disney+ trial, Ultimate members who subscribed to the streaming service in the past were not eligible to claim it. But this was not specified in this week’s announcement post for the Apple Music and Apple TV+ trials.
