Microsoft has introduced its new program Xbox All Access in the USA. For a monthly fee, players receive an Xbox One S or an Xbox One X as well as the two subscriptions Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass.
Microsoft has presented a new installment model for the Xbox One in the USA. Whether Xbox All Access will also be available in Germany in the future is not yet known.
Xbox Complete Package with Monthly Fee
Subscription service with console: After there were already rumors about a monthly subscription service with console, Microsoft announced “Xbox All Access” on its official website. The model is comparable to a mobile phone contract, where users receive a smartphone. It is intended to be offered for a limited time in Microsoft Stores in the USA.
Interested parties can choose between two models:
- Xbox One X + 24 months Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold from 35 US dollars per month
- Xbox One S + 24 months Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold from 22 US dollars per month
Good deal for gamers? Buyers of one of the two packages commit to two years, but can keep the devices after the term.
The US website arstechnica calculated that players in the USA make a small bargain with Xbox All Access. Buyers of the more expensive package with the Xbox One X would pay about 860 US dollars individually for the console, Xbox Live Gold, and the Game Pass over the years, while with Xbox All Access it is only about 840 US dollars.
Even with the variant of the Xbox One S, a bit could be saved: Individually, the console and the two subscriptions cost 590 US dollars, while gamers would only have to pay about 528 US dollars over the two years with the new offer.
What do you think of Microsoft’s All Access offer? Would such an offer be an alternative for you to buying directly?
