"Currently, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes access to all Microsoft-published games--as well as many other titles--on their respective release days. It also includes a subscription to EA Play, Ubisoft Classics, and will soon include Fortnite Crew. With Ubisoft Classics coming in at $80 per year, EA Play at $40 per year, and Fortnite Crew at $144 per year, the total value of these subscriptions is $264, which definitely helps sweeten spending $360 a year on Game Pass--if you actually use them."
"If you look at the Ubisoft Classics website, the standard subscription tier costs $7.99 per month, but only offers PC play. Ubisoft Classics' Premium tier, however, features both PC and Xbox play for a total of $17.99 per month. Xbox claims that its version of Ubisoft Classics adds $7.99 per month of value per platform, meaning those playing on both PC and Xbox receive the greatest benefit."
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate price increases from $20 to $30 per month, raising annual cost to $360. The subscription continues to include day-one access to Microsoft-published titles plus EA Play, Ubisoft Classics, and soon Fortnite Crew. Standalone pricing for those add-ons totals about $264 annually (Ubisoft Classics $80, EA Play $40, Fortnite Crew $144), which can offset the new Game Pass cost only if subscribers actively use those services. Ubisoft Classics on Game Pass provides a rotating, smaller library of standard-edition games across PC and Xbox rather than the larger Premium catalog and editions, reducing the claimed per-platform value.
