One of the best deals in gaming skipped the whole Black Friday/Cyber Monday cycle and plopped itself down on the internet this morning. Woot (a deals-centric retailer owned by Amazon) has brought back a super low price on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. You can get a 3-month subscription for just $33.99. And if you’re a new customer, you can enter code GAMEPASS at checkout to get an extra $5 off, knocking it down to $28.99. Either way, that’s the best deal you’re going to find on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate anytime soon, and it happens to line up nicely with the release of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.3-Month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Subscription for as Low as $28.99Xbox Game Pass Ultimate – 3 Months (Digital Code)0New customers can enter code GAMEPASS at checkout to save an extra $5.Woot looks pretty barebones for a retailer, but it’s owned by Amazon, so it’s a legitimate outfit that won’t take your money and run. You can check out using your Amazon credentials, which is what I always do when making purchases there.I often call Game Pass the best deal in gaming, but the standard price of the service has been ratcheting up over the years. If you buy it directly from Microsoft, it costs $19.99 a month, which is pretty pricy considering the release cadence (and quality) of recent years’ first-party Xbox releases. That said, the service has tons of third-party and indie games across all genres, so you can always find plenty worth playing. You can even stream many of the games from the cloud to your phone, laptop, Steam Deck, etc. Game Pass Ultimate is a great service and well worth the $11 per month this deal breaks down to.Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Release DateAs for Indiana Jones, The Great Circle actually releases on December 6 if you buy one of the pricier editions. Game Pass subscribers can purchase a Digital Premium Upgrade for $34.99, which gets you the three-day early access, along with The Order of Giants story DLC, a digital artbook, and a Temple of Doom outfit.Otherwise, all Game Pass Ultimate members can play on December 9. We don’t have a review up yet, but the trailers look great, and you can check out our final preview to see how it’s shaping up.
