Xbox Game Pass Ultimate now includes 3 months of Marvel Unlimited

Marvel Entertainment announced a partnership with Microsoft that includes three months of Marvel Unlimited with any Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, highlighting that Xbox Game Pass isn’t just offering a wide variety of games.

Marvel Unlimited Comes to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

Marvel Unlimited is a subscription similar to Game Pass but for Marvel digital comics. Subscribers can access over 29,000 digital comics and now that perk comes to Game Pass subscribers for three months. As the usual trial period is seven days, this is a huge bonus to anyone already subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate that’s curious about Marvel Unlimited. This comic subscription service is accessible on PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPods, and Android devices, so this bonus goes beyond Xbox consoles.

Marvel Unlimited offers literal decades of reading material and comic reading lists created by Marvel experts, so it’s a great service for anyone unfamiliar with the medium.

This isn’t the first secondary perk that Game Pass Ultimate members have attained from their subscription Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can also currently get a 30-day free trial of Paramount Plus to commemorate the release of the new live-action Halo TV show and in-game bonuses for titles like Apex Legends and Halo Infinite. Previously, Game Pass users could get 75 days of Crunchyroll Premium ad-free as part of a surprise partnership with the Sony-owned anime streaming service. If you have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, make sure you are aware of all the additional perks outside of games that come with it.

Keep in mind that after three months the Marvel Unlimited subscription will switch to a paid one, so keep track of what day you started on so you’ll know when to decide if you want to keep the membership.

You can get a month of Xbox Game Pass for $1 right now

If you aren't currently signed up for Xbox Game Pass, you can currently get your first month for $1. The deal only applies to Game Pass Ultimate and its PC version, though, as the console-only version is still at its full price.

Early in the Xbox Game Pass era, Microsoft would offer $1 onboarding deals for the service. The trick helped the company build a massive user base early on, but it has moved away from that cheap deal in recent years as the service has become a household name with gamers. It's finally available again for anyone who's been waiting for a reason to subscribe, though it's not as eye-popping a deal as it once was.

Xbox Game Pass is kicking off July with a major surprise, as Grand Theft Auto V has returned to the service. Rockstar's sales juggernaut leads an otherwise light month for Game Pass, which brings Capcom's Exoprimal as a day-one launch.

This isn't the first time that Grand Theft Auto V has been on Game Pass. It was previously on the service circa 2021 but removed from it that August. Rockstar has a history of putting its games on Game Pass for a brief window before pulling it, as it also did with Red Dead Redemption 2.

One of my favorite 2022 games just came to Xbox Game Pass, and you need to try it
Arcade cabinets stand in a room in Arcade Paradise.

When I think back to 2022, there are a ton of critically acclaimed games that stick with me. Naturally, I spent countless hours adventuring through the Lands Between in Elden Ring. Splatoon 3 and Vampire Survivors ate up my entire summer, while I still think about Pentiment and Immortality months later. There's one lesser-known game, though, that was a go-to I kept coming back to throughout the year despite the fact that it wasn't talked about nearly as much as any of those games.

That would be Arcade Paradise, a quiet 2022 standout that's now available on Xbox Game Pass today. Developed by Nosebleed Interactive, it's a unique simulation game that balances 90s nostalgia with a thoughtful look at the line between hobby and work. If you spent any time during your youth hanging around arcades, you'll want to give it a try while it's on Game Pass.
