The promotion launches this week and will run until December 29, providing gamers a limited window to take full advantage of this opportunity. This collaboration aims to introduce new players to the Xbox ecosystem, enticing them to join the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate service.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Experience
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offers a premium gaming experience, granting subscribers access to over 100 Xbox games, including popular exclusives like Halo Infinite and popular third-party titles like Guardians of the Galaxy.
Subscribers also gain access to Xbox Cloud Gaming, a cloud streaming service that allows players to sync their game saves across platforms and play console games on their phones, PCs, or consoles. This added convenience enhances the overall gaming experience.
The price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate increased from $14.99 to $16.99 per month earlier this year, aligning with global subscription price adjustments. As gaming subscriptions continue to rise, Microsoft's partnership with PepsiCo and Frito-Lay aims to provide added value to new players.
