Game Pass Ulitmate might just be the best deal in all of gaming. For just $15 a month, you'll get access to dozens of free games, same-day downloads for first-party releases, and in some cases, game streaming across multiple platforms. Things got even better when it was announced that EA Play was coming to Game Pass, but this strange deal might beat all of it because you can turn a $24 EA Play subscription into four months of Game Pass Ultimate.
Xbox appears to be going all-in on its subscription service, having reportedly approached every major publisher for an Xbox Game Pass deal. While EA was the first to bite and accept a deal to bring its entire catalog to Game Pass, it's probably not going to be the last publisher to do so. There is a rumor circulating that Ubisoft+ may also make its way to Game Pass before long.
Whether Ubisoft comes to Game Pass or not, you can take advantage of EA's partnership by getting $60 worth of Game Pass for just $24. The news comes to us from Xbox's support site, which outlines various questions that you may have regarding EA Play on Game Pass. One of those questions is, "what happens to my EA Play subscription if I want to join Game Pass?"
The answer, as it turns out, is that your EA Play subscription will be converted to a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. For example, if you got a six-month subscription to EA Play during the holidays, you can convert it to two months of Game Pass. The best deal, though, is the conversion rate for a one-year subscription to EA Play.
That's because a one-year subscription to EA Play only costs $24, but the conversion means that you'll get $60 worth of Game Pass Ultimate time for just $24. Unfortunately, this only applies to new Game Pass members. However, if you are one of those people who hasn't started a Game Pass subscription, this is probably the cheapest way to do so—and you'll still have access to the EA games that you want to play.
