Everyone’s gaming habits are different, so there’s no sure-fire way for me to say if Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is right for you.

Considering that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes access to over 100 games, console multiplayer though Xbox Live, and other perks like EA Play, you will get your money’s worth when you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as long as you use it.
Considering Xbox Live Gold retails for $9.99, you’re essentially getting Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for a few cents if you already want Xbox Live Gold and take advantage of the current CDKeys deal.
Deals on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate aren’t always meant for current subscribers.

You can feel free to stack up to your heart’s content, extending any current membership you’ve paid for.
