Today, we\u2019re announcing Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Perks, a new exclusive member benefit starting March 18 that provides even more value for our Ultimate members. When we launched Xbox Game Pass in June 2017, we did so with the goal of creating a membership that provides the best value in gaming. Our members have told us they love discovering new games but they also want new in-game content. Through Perks, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members will now regularly receive new benefits including DLC, in-game content and more \u2013 all free and included with membership. <\/p>\n

\nthings off, this month members can redeem these Perks for free:<\/p>\n

\nXbox Game Pass catalog, so stay tuned. There\u2019s no need to register or sign-up

\nWindows 10 PC, or within the Xbox Game Pass mobile app. If you are not a member
