Xbox Game Pass Ultimate sees price cut via StackSocial deal

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which faced a 50% price increase to $30 per month in late 2025, is now available at a discount through StackSocial. The deal reduces the one-month subscription to $25 and the three-month option to $74. This stackable offer brings the service closer to its pre-hike pricing.

In late 2025, Microsoft raised the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate by 50%, from $20 to $30 per month, adding an extra $120 annually for subscribers. The service, long praised as the best deal in gaming, provides unlimited access to over 500 titles, including indies and blockbusters, plus EA Play and Xbox Live multiplayer features.

A current promotion at StackSocial offers relief, pricing one month at $25—down from $30—and three months at $74, compared to $90. The memberships are stackable and not region-locked, allowing users to stock up for extended savings. This move positions the cost nearer to the original rate without fully reversing the increase.

Game Pass Ultimate's appeal remains strong, enabling cloud streaming on devices like 2023 or later Samsung TVs via the Gaming Hub, without needing an Xbox console. Users can pair a controller and play titles such as Starfield or Halo Infinite directly on their television.

The library spans diverse experiences, from the puzzle-adventure Tunic—with its fictional language and manual-based tutorials—to day-one releases like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Experimental indies coexist with AAA games, and the inclusion of EA Play adds series like The Sims and Madden.

While the deal tempers the recent hike's impact, the standard $30 monthly price persists outside StackSocial.
