Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is still $20 a month if you buy pre-paid codes

The article discusses how Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can still get the service at the original $20 per month price by purchasing prepaid codes from online retailers, despite Microsoft's recent decision to raise the subscription price to $30 per month. The article highlights that the Ultimate tier includes access to over 200 games on PC and Xbox, as well as cloud gaming capabilities. It also notes that the Ultimate subscription now includes benefits of an Ubisoft+ subscription and Fortnite Crew, which may justify the higher price for some users. However, the article suggests that buying prepaid codes is an excellent way to avoid the price increase and try out the new Ultimate subscription before committing to the higher monthly fee. It also mentions that stacking four three-month codes would come out to around $240, which is a more cost-effective option compared to the new $30 per month price.
