Now that Microsoft has ended the $1 trial offer, many players are looking for a cheaper or free alternative to purchase Game Pass. Since it is almost impossible to get Game Pass for free, you may be looking for other means. The Ultimate or Live Xbox subscription lets you play hundreds of game titles on your console and PC. But is there a way to get this subscription for free or cheap? Check out our guide to find out how to get Xbox Game Pass for free.

Unfortunately, there is currently no option to get Xbox Game Pass for free. Previously, you could earn a free Ultimate Game Pass by redeeming the Microsoft Program Rewards once you had earned enough points. You would need between 12,000 and 14,000 Microsoft Reward Points to claim a month of Ultimate Game Pass for free. However, there is currently no option listed for this. That said, if Microsoft decides to include it in Microsoft Program Rewards, we will update this guide.

So, players have no other option but to buy the Game Pass subscription depending on their usage. With the Xbox Ultimate subscription, you get access to hundreds of games. Along with this huge game collection, you also get the benefits of Xbox Live Gold for online play. Moreover, Ultimate also gives you access to game titles from EA Play and the benefits of Cloud Gaming. The subscription for Xbox Ultimate costs $14.99 per month.

However, if your gaming needs are limited to Xbox One or Series S | X consoles, we recommend purchasing the Console Game Pass. Comparatively cheaper, this subscription costs $9.99 for one month. You can also purchase the PC Game Pass if you prefer to play Xbox games on PC. This game pass also includes top titles from EA’s library.
