The Series S normally sells for $300, so the real perk here is the three months of Game Pass Ultimate. A membership normally costs $17/month.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate gets subscribers access to all of Microsoft’s first-party new releases on day one, as well as a growing catalog of titles from third-party publishers. Another perk of Game Pass Ultimate is EA Play, which has its own catalog of EA games in the Battlefield, Madden, Star Wars series that members can play for no extra cost. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also includes access to Xbox Cloud Gaming that allows you to play Starfield on your iPhone.
With so many games to potentially install via Game Pass and EA Play, the Starter Bundle’s 512 GB hard drive is sure to fill up fast. Thankfully, you can either delete games or invest in a expansion card. Microsoft also has a 1TB Xbox Series S console but it’s not part of this offer.
Microsoft isn’t the only company rolling out new gaming hardware soon, as Sony is releasing a PS5 slim in November and a PS5 Modern Warfare III bundle.
