Are you interested in joining the Xbox One community, but without the expensive financial commitment of dropping a few hundred dollars on another console? Then allow me to introduce you to Microsoft’s latest plan to expand the Xbox brand… Xbox All Access.
Similar to your cell phone plan, Xbox All Access subscribers will receive a brand new Xbox One S or Xbox One X console, as well as access to all the features found in Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass for two years. To receive this deal, you’ve got to agree to pay a subscription rate of $21.99 (for an Xbox One S) or $34.99 (for an Xbox One X) per month.
When you run the numbers, it’s actually not a bad deal. An Xbox One S ($299.99) plus two years of Xbox Live Gold ($119.98) and Xbox Game Pass ($239.96) will total up to $659.93 on their own. Microsoft’s monthly payment scheme through Xbox All Access offers the same console and subscriptions for $130 less over the span of two years.
By contrast, if you’re looking to get an Xbox One X through the All Access program, you’re only saving a total of $20 over the two years. Still a nice deal, but slightly less impressive.
If you’re thinking about adding an Xbox One under your television, Xbox All Access is definitely an interesting new option to consider. But according to Microsoft, the Xbox All Access subscription will be available “for a limited time only,” and you can learn more about it (or sign up) at the Microsoft Store.
