Throughout 2025, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate expanded its library with approximately 295 new titles, boasting a collective retail value exceeding $8,000. The subscription featured several high-profile day-one launches, including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Black Ops 7, Doom: The Dark Ages, and The Outer Worlds 2.
Frequently hailed as one of the most cost-effective deals in gaming, the service has seen a significant jump in value. For comparison, 2024 saw the addition of roughly 140 games with a total market price of around $5,000, supported by a more modest subscription fee at the time.
Detailed estimates for 2025 indicate that the Ultimate tier integrated 295 games, a figure that includes titles from the Ubisoft+ and EA Play catalogs. With an average price of $34 per game, the total valuation reached approximately $8,700. Notably, more than 60 of these projects were available on the platform the very day they released.
However, 2025 also marked a period of rising costs, with monthly rates climbing from $20 to nearly $30, pushing the annual commitment to $360. While this price hike triggered a record-breaking wave of subscription cancellations, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate remains the definitive choice for the core gaming audience.
