Is it just until E3 is over or is it just for the first month or something

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate continues to be one of the best values in gaming thanks to its robust library of first-party exclusives and wide assortment of third-party games. Even at its regular price of $15 per month, Game Pass Ultimate is a pretty darn good deal. After all, did you see all those upcoming Game Pass games in the Xbox Showcase? If you've been thinking about subscribing, right now is the best time to do it. Microsoft has brought back its best Game Pass Ultimate promotion. New subscribers can get their first three months of Game Pass Ultimate for $1 total.

Microsoft has always offered new subscribers their first month for a buck, but it's not common for a deal like this one to pop up. If you're a lapsed subscriber, it's possible that you'll be able to take advantage of this deal as a returning member, too.

A Game Pass Ultimate subscription grants access to hundreds of Xbox and PC games, and more games are added to the library each month. You can also stream supported titles on your phone via Xbox Cloud Gaming. Ultimate subscribers get the perks of Xbox Live Gold, too, including free monthly games. After your three-month trial period ends, you'll be charged $15 per month unless you cancel.

If you're interested in Game Pass but mainly play on PC, you can also take advantage of this offer on a PC Game Pass subscription. PC Game Pass normally costs $10 per month, but right now you can get your first three months for--you guessed it--$1 total.

With the introduction of Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft has created a way for all kinds of players to easily expand their gaming horizons. While we might once have thought ‘That sounds interesting, but do I want to buy a whole new game just to try it?’, we now think ‘That sounds really interesting, I hope it’s on Game Pass’ – and did you know that there’s a way to get three years of Game Pass for just $1? (or £1 in the UK).

For whatever reason, this deal isn’t advertised widely, but it’s available to anybody who has an active Xbox Live Gold membership. If you’ve pre-paid your Xbox Live Gold for the next three years, then your membership will be updated to an Xbox Game Pass membership for the duration of the time that you’ve paid for.

Considering that so many of us have Xbox Live Gold memberships, that’s a lot of people who will potentially have cheap access to three years of Game Pass – and they probably don’t even know it. It’s important to keep in mind that it depends on how much Xbox Live Gold you have already paid for.

The maximum length of time that you can pre-pay for Xbox Live Gold is three years and if you do this and get the Game Pass trial at the same time, you’ll then get Game Pass for the whole three years for just $1. If you’ve got a shorter length of time, you’ll get Game Pass for free for all of that, with an extra month for the Game Pass thrown in too. If that’s not clear enough, let us break it down for you:

How to get three years of Game Pass for $1

First, you need to become an Xbox Live Gold member, we’re sure that many Xbox owners will have done this long before reading this guide.
Pre-pay as far into the future as you can afford to do – it is possible to this for up to three years.
Pay $1 for your first month of Xbox Game Pass
Cancel the Game Pass subscription before the first month passes

Once you’ve cancelled, you won’t be charged for Game Pass again, but you will have your membership upgraded to a Game Pass membership until your pre-paid Xbox Live Gold subscription runs out, essentially allowing you to enjoy three years of Game Pass for just $1 (or £1 if you’re in the UK).

This is wonderful news if you’re somebody who’s just paid for the next three years of Xbox Live Gold. But even if you’ve just got the rest of the year, or even a few months, $1 for Game Pass during that time is still a fantastic deal.

Check out our list of every game on Game Pass for an idea of what you’ll gain access to, along with a look at July’s Game Pass releases. You’ll see that there are so many wonderful games, it’ll be hard to give it up once your trial period ends.
