Want to secure Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for under £10?

Or fancy heading online to play multiplayer titles like Halo: Infinite, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Minecraft, or Forza Horizon 5 for three months for less than the cost of buying any of these titles individually in your nearest store?


CDKeys — an online marketplace of digital download codes for subscriptions and console games — is offering over 30% off Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. This includes one-month and three-month subscriptions.

If you're an existing Game Pass subscriber, you can stack the one- or three-month subscription onto your account, delaying your next Direct Debit payment and saving you some money. The deal also works for new subscribers on console, PC, and other devices.

Save 33% on three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

With the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 coming soon, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to unlock access to the blockbuster new shooter on release day at no extra cost. You'll also be able to play multiplayer games online and stream a vast back catalogue of titles across Xbox, PC, iPad, and Android phones

This is a Netflix-like subscription from Microsoft that offers access to every game developed and released by a Microsoft-owned studio, including the likes of Bethesda Game Studios, id Software, Infinity Ward, Rare, Mojang Studios, Ninja Theory, Obsidian Entertainment, Blizzard, Toys for Bob, and Treyarch, to name just a few. Not only will you get access to the back catalogue — dating as far back as the Xbox 360 and original Xbox era, in some instances — but also new releases on launch day.

That includes blockbuster titles like Starfield and the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and Indiana Jones And The Great Circle.

Xbox Game Pass also unlocks online multiplayer for your existing games, although this is also included with Xbox Game Pass Core, which removes the launch day releases and offers a more restricted back catalogue of games in exchange for a lower monthly price.

Xbox Game Pass subscribers can enjoy discounts in the Microsoft Store on select titles, including a guaranteed 20% off any titles that will be leaving the catalogue in the near future — titles from third-party developers not owned by Microsoft, where the US company strikes a temporary deal.

Since there's no physical disc for any of the games included with Xbox Game Pass, you can move freely between devices — including Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, PCs, handheld devices like the Logitech G Cloud or ROG Ally, and Virtual Reality (VR) headsets like the Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S.

Microsoft has recently announced several new additions to Xbox Game Pass. Sifu, a martial arts brawler, will be available from October 2 across cloud, console, and PC platforms, followed by Mad Streets, a party game, is set to join the service on October 7, 2024. Inscryption, a deck-building rogue-like, will arrive on October 10.

All three titles will be accessible to Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard subscribers.

These new games join other recent additions, including MLB: The Show 24 and Open Roads, which became available to Game Pass Standard users on October 2, 2024. One of the most anticipated additions to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, set to launch on October 25. This marks a significant milestone as one of the first Activision titles to debut on the service on day one.
