Xbox Game Pass adds YouTube Premium as a new perk

Xbox now offers Game Pass subscribers a free trial of YouTube Premium along with a number of other perks, including a bunch of in-game rewards.

Xbox Game Pass It’s been pretty successful since its original debut in 2017. Still, the show definitely feels like it’s evaporated over the past two years. New games regularly on Xbox Game Pass, making the subscription service seem increasingly a good deal for some gamers.

The subscription service also offers many free monthly perks. Starting today, Xbox Game Pass Subscribers can try YouTube Premium for free for three months.

For those who don’t know, YouTube premium is a subscription-based service that allows users to watch YouTube videos without ads. It also allows subscribers to download videos or music for offline viewing and even listening in the background when the app is closed. Besides, YouTube Premium lets users stream original movies and shows on the platform.

YouTube Premium memberships typically cost $12 a month, and that’s probably what Game Pass subscribers will also have to pay after the three-month free trial ends. That’s a total of $27 per month for both memberships, so it doesn’t seem like a good reason to get a Game Pass on its own. However, if someone who’s already a Game Pass subscriber is hitting the road to YouTube Premium, it’s a great opportunity to try it out. Notably, the free trial is only available to new Premium members, so existing subscribers won’t get much benefit from it.

The good news is that the YouTube Premium free trial isn’t the only perk Game Pass subscribers are getting this month. Subscribers can also get a 75 days free Crunchyroll Premium. The streaming service allows members to watch popular anime series like One mouthful, My Hero Academia, and Demon Slayer, along with many other shows and original series. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can also unlock various in-game rewards for Marvel’s Avengers, Eternal return, and Smite x Transformers. Game Pass subscribers can redeem these perks in the Game Pass Perks library on consoles, PC, or the Xbox Game Pass mobile app.

In addition to the perks, Xbox is adding new games to Game Pass, with Dead space and Dragon Age: Origins available now. Microsoft also announced a number of additional titles on their way, including Fae Tactics, My friend Pedro, Undungeon, Shell of death, and Evil Genius 2, among others.

Unfortunately, some games are also on the way. The Call of the Sea, hello neighbor, FIFA 19, Football Manager 2021, Haven, Morkredd, and Va-11 Hall-A All will be leaving the Game Pass on November 30. Also, Bungie’s Fate 2: Beyond the light launch Xbox Game Pass on December 8th.
