What to Know

  • Purchase subscription cards and gift cards when they're on sale, and use them to subscribe or renew.
  • Wait for a bundle package that includes the Game Pass service with a product you want to purchase.
  • Take advantage of coupon codes at online retailers, and check local ads for deals.

This article offers several ways to get Xbox Game Pass at a discount. The premium subscription service provides access to advanced multiplayer mode, downloadable games, and big discounts on purchases made in the Xbox Store.

Discounts on Subscription Cards

The easiest way to get Xbox Game Pass at a discount is to keep an eye out for deals on subscription and gift cards at a good price, purchase those, and then use them to subscribe or renew. You can use multiple gift and subscription cards, and each one will extend a current subscription. Buy a couple of inexpensive cards when you find them at a discount, and you’ll be set for a while.

Keep an eye on listings at sites like Amazon, eBay, BestBuy.com, Walmart.com, and other online retailers, and you're sure to find subscription cards for less than the full MSRP. A quick search online reveals several subscription card deals at well under the full price.

Subscription and gift card scams are common on the internet. Only buy from sources you trust, and if something feels off, do not check out.

Look for Bundles With Games and Products

Another way to get Game Pass for cheap is to wait for a bundle package that includes the service with a product you want to purchase. You might not get a full year membership — usually, these bundles come with three-month subscription bonuses — but many retailers bundle subscription cards with games and accessories at a discount.

Retailer Coupons and Promotional Codes

An easy way to save money on Game Pass is by taking advantage of coupon codes at online retailers. Subscriptions almost always count as accessories, and any location that has a sale or coupon code for gaming accessories may stock Game Pass cards.

One year of Game Pass might be listed for full price at some retailers, but when you use coupon codes, that price can come way down.

Check Local Ads and Online Deal Sites

Keep an eye on the Sunday promotional ads from retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Best Buy because you never know when they might include an Xbox Game Pass card with a new game release.

Also, make CheapAssGamer.com a regular online stop, because the site is usually the first place users post information on great deals for subscriptions. Slickdeals.net is another website with a broad range of product deals, especially on electronics, gift cards, and memberships.
