TL;DR – Our Favorite Video Game Deals
How to Avoid Xbox Game Pass Price Hike ($39.99 for 3-Months of Ultimate)
To avoid the new Game Pass price hike, we recommend securing your current subscription for as long as possible. You can stack up to a maximum of 36 months of Game Pass, meaning you have the option to accumulate 3-month subscriptions up to 12 times.
Admittedly, this approach might put a strain on your wallet, totaling $479.88 if you purchase the 3-month codes via this enticing deal we’ve uncovered on Amazon. However, when you compare it to the new cost of Game Pass Ultimate for 36 months at $16.99 per month, amounting to $611.64, you’ll realize you’re saving a substantial $131.76 on your subscription for the next three years.

Could your PS5 use more storage? Prices have been plummeting since Sony started letting people upgrade their SSDs. Right now you can get a TeamGroup T-Force A440 Pro 1TB for $56. It’s hard to beat the recent Prime Day we had, and we won’t like this doesn’t match the best 1TB deal at $50 during that sale, but it’s pretty close at about $6 more.
