One of the benefits of signing up for Xbox Game Pass is that members get subscription benefits from time to time. Right now, one of those perks is access to YouTube Premium for three months.
Game Pass Ultimate members can navigate to the “Perks” tab of their subscription profile to find a page that offers up three months of YouTube Premium for the low cost of $0. The only catch is that you can’t have previously signed up for YouTube Premium or YouTube Premium’s own three-month trial. And the offer does not stack if you’re an existing subscriber to YouTube Premium. The offer must be claimed by May 22, 2024.
This is a pretty nice perk. The subscription normally goes for $14/month or $140 for the year. YouTube Premium was previously added as a Game Pass perk back in 2021.
First and foremost, YouTube Premium removes all ads from YouTube videos. Subscribers can also download videos and watch them in the background. A membership also includes ad-free music streaming via the YouTube Music app.
Other current Game Pass perks include access to Person 3 Reload’s expansion pass and the Spring perks pack for Super Animal Royale that includes a variety of cosmetics. Another perk currently available is the Netherbeasts DLC for Smite, which includes content for the Chaac, Cernunnos, and Cerberus characters.
It’s been a big week for Game Pass, as the catalog added titles like Terra Invicta, Diablo IV, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2, and Open Roads in the past few days. The next big release is Ark: Survival Ascended on April 1.
