Premium members also receive all the benefits of the Essential plan, making it a comprehensive option for gamers who want a wide variety of games to choose from.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
For the ultimate Xbox experience, the Ultimate plan combines all the benefits of the Essential and Premium plans with the addition of cloud gaming, allowing you to play select games on your PC, mobile devices, and even select smart TVs. Ultimate members also receive exclusive in-game content, add-ons, and other perks, making it the most complete and valuable Xbox Game Pass offering.
