Yeah, you heard me! A 12% discount on Xbox gift cards means a 12% discount on any purchase from the Microsoft Store on both Xbox consolesandWindows PCs. Sure, you can buy games (and most of you will), but you can also pick up a new controller, add movies to your collection, snag that premium app you’ve been eyeing, or finally bring home a brand-newXbox Series XorXbox Series S. Whatever you buy from the Microsoft Store, you’re getting a 12% discount through these gift cards. That’s awesome for saving money on holiday gift buyingandtreating yourself.

With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you’re gaining access to hundreds of games across Xbox consoles, Windows PCs, and the cloud (bringing those games to practically any device imaginable).

Xbox Game Pass Core is for the simpler gamers, who just want online multiplayer access on their Xbox console.

A 12-month subscription to Core is already pretty heavily discounted over 1-month payments, but a heft 25% discount on top? That’s an easy decision. If you’re a new Xbox Game Pass subscriber, you can also buy a ton of Game Pass Core and convert it to Ultimate for a little more savings.
