Xbox has made several big announcements this year, from our new approach to PC gaming to the news we shared onstage. However, the most exciting news about the new membership plan was that it would benefit gamers in so many ways. This $14.99 monthly membership combines Xbox Game Pass for Consoles, Xbox Game Pass for PCs, and Xbox Live Gold into one convenient bundle.

Xbox 1 Month Game Passes are available now for just $1 for both new members and existing Xbox Live Gold members. Also, for a limited time, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate credit will be given to current Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass subscribers with pre-paid months.

With the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate $1 offer, how much time you have left on your existing Xbox Live Gold subscription is automatically converted to Game Pass Ultimate if you have an existing Gold subscription. With the $1 upgrade, for example, you will get 10 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate if you have 6 months of Xbox Live Gold and 3 months of Xbox Game Pass. We'll talk more about Xbox Game Pass Ultimate below, but let's first see what you get:

• A complete list of Xbox Game Pass titles can be found here, with over 100 high-quality titles.
• With Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta), you can play over 100 high-quality games on Windows 10 PC, with new games added all the time.
