Xbox are having one hell of a week. Hot off the heels of Microsoft’s online-GDC-timed reveal via Digital Foundry and other sources, they’ve now lifted the curtain on “Ultimate Perks”
What are Ultimate Perks?
As per the folks over at Xbox Wire:
Today, we’re 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 – all free and included with membership.
Ben Decker, Head of Gaming Services Marketing, Xbox
This month members can redeem these Perks for free:
