"To spook you in time for the Halloween season, Microsoft announced a frightening price hike to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service, with Ultimate now running your wallet $30/month. It's this tier that also unlocks the new Fortnite Crew and Ubisoft+ Classic benefits, but if you've never heard of or seen them before, let us break down just what they are so you can determine if Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the right tier for you."
"Let's start with the perk that's available right now. Ubisoft+ Classics is a subscription service that gives you access to a plethora of, well, Ubisoft games. Folded into Ultimate now, you can play an evolving list of curated games such as Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag ( which is reported to get remastered in 2026), Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege Extraction, and more across console, PC, and the cloud."
"As mentioned at the top, Fortnite Crew and Ubisoft+ Classics will be available to you if you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which has jumped from $20 to $30 today (October 1). The latter benefit is currently live, while the former perk will start rolling out on November 18. But again, what even are they? Let us briefly explain."
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate price increases from $20 to $30 effective October 1. The Ultimate tier now includes Ubisoft+ Classics immediately and will add Fortnite Crew beginning November 18. Ubisoft+ Classics grants access to a curated, evolving library of Ubisoft titles across console, PC, and cloud, including Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege Extraction. Fortnite Crew provides in-game bonuses such as access to Battle Passes, special items, and 1,000 V-Bucks every month. Microsoft also raised Xbox Series console prices starting October 3, including the Series S to $400 (was $380) and the 2TB Series X Galaxy Black Special Edition to $800.
