Deals were all over the place throughout last week and before Cyber Monday itself, and the best surprise came when Xbox Game Pass Ultimate dropped to $19.99 $18.99 a month via Amazon for anyone looking to stock up on the best deal in gaming.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate currently sells for $30 a month following a recent price hike, but these codes offer an excellent loophole at $19 (or $60 for 3 months). Either way, that's over a third of the price below what you'd usually pay.
If you're subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on a monthly or quarterly basis, then grabbing a couple of codes and stocking up for cheap is a simple no-brainer. You'll pay less to get access to all the games and features you normally use.

Instead of just grabbing a single month, you can alternatively go for a 3-month code, which is also available for just $57, or $19 a month. If you've got the cash, this may even be the better option, letting you lock in three months at once (or stack several months with considerably less effort!)
Xbox Game Pass had a stacked lineup in 2025, and 2026 looks just as big
This Cyber Monday discount is a great opportunity to stock up on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, because 2026 is looking to be a repeat of 2025's Xbox first-party onslaught. There are numerous games currently slated to launch next year, with something for everyone, depending on your tastes.
Halo Studios is launching Halo: Campaign Evolved, a remake of Combat Evolved that adds new missions, cinematics, and more. Meanwhile, The Coalition is also arriving with Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel story that shows Marcus and Dom fighting to survive the titular event.
Playground Games has a double feature in store, with Forza Horizon 6 set in Japan, while the developer is also finally set to launch Fable, a reboot of the iconic Xbox role-playing game series.
That's just on the first-party side. Looking over at Xbox's third-party partners, there are games on the way like the musical-decorating-horror mashup There Are No Ghosts at the Grand, as well as the coming-of-age adventure Mixtape, and many more.
If you save now on Xbox Game Pass, you can use some of that savings to take advantage of a concurrent Xbox Gift Card deal and stock up.
