Assassin’s Creed Origins Is Available on Xbox Game Pass

We’ve known for a couple of months about Assassin’s Creed Origins coming to Game Pass, but you’ll can now play it at a higher frame rate on Xbox Series X/S after Origins got its 60FPS patch on June 2.

If you also want to experience all the DLC for Origins now it’s coming to the service, the Season Pass is $28 (was $39.99) on the Microsoft Store. Game Pass Ultimate members can also be getting access to the Deluxe Pack for Origins. The Deluxe Pack includes The Ambush at Sea mission, The Desert Cobra pack (including one outfit, two legendary weapons, one legendary shield, and one mount) and three Ability points.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is on Xbox Game Pass on June 16

In what is an absolutely radical addition to Game Pass, TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge will be coming to the service on Day One of release for Xbox. With the release date of June 16 announced during Summer Game Fest, the news also comes along with info that Casey Jones will be a playable character, and a new 6-player mode was also announced, alongside the games’ addition to Game Pass.

All-new PS Plus Launches This Month in US and Europe

The all-new PlayStation Plus service, including the new game subscription tiers Extra and Premium, is launching on June 13 in the US, and June 23 in Europe. The new library of games will seemingly introduce a competitor for Game Pass, with some big name PS5 titles set to be included in the service right away, and a few third party titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and more.

What it won’t be is releasing any new games on the service for day one of release. This means you won’t be able to play God of War Ragnarok via PS Plus on launch day. But, if you’ve got the patience, you will still likely be able to play the game via the service around 1-2 years down the line.

First up, your Game Pass subscription must not currently be active – I repeat, you must not have an active Game Pass for this to work. Once you’re confident, proceed to the next step.

Next, you need to invest in up to 3-years worth of Xbox Live Gold. You can easily buy 12-month Xbox Live Gold codes from Amazon or other retailers, costing $60/£50.Recommend Stacking 2-Years of Xbox Live Gold

The maximum amount of stacking for Gold subscriptions is 36-months (costing $180), any more than that will be lost. So, to keep things safe for those who currently have a Gold membership, I recommend sticking to just 2-years’ worth (costing $120/£100).

Now, here’s the fun part. Once you’ve redeemed these codes and stacked your Xbox Live Gold membership up to your liking, you can then convert this time to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at a 1:1 ratio.

Head to the Xbox Live Gold upgrade page and proceed to convert the time you’ve paid for directly into Game Pass Ultimate. If you’ve never used the upgrade feature before, this will cost $1/£1 (total cost coming to $121/£101). If you have used this before, it will instead cost you $14.99/£10.99 to upgrade.

Overall, at most, you’ll be paying only $135 for 2-years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (instead of $359). If you manage to pull off a 3-year conversion, at most you’ll be paying $195 instead (instead of $539). Now that’s a big discount. Once you’re done, just make sure you turn off auto renewal as well.
