Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users can now enjoy a complimentary three-month trial of YouTube Premium. The latest perk enhances the already jam-packed month of perks for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
Each month, Microsoft's premium subscription service introduces a range of perks, not all of which are related to gaming. Most perks are up for grabs for several months. In a recent release in mid-March, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate delighted users with the Persona 3 Reload Expansion Pass.
Restriction on YouTube Premium Trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Members
The newest addition to the perks is a three-month subscription to YouTube Premium, valued at $13.99 per month or $139.99 per year, making the total perk value between $35 and $42. However, there's a significant catch – the trial is only accessible to new users. Existing subscribers or those who previously activated a trial through their Google accounts are ineligible for this offer. This rule extends to trials of other services like YouTube Music Premium and Google Play Music.
YouTube Premium was previously part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate perks and was first offered to Microsoft subscribers in late 2021, following the same restriction to new YouTube Premium users. The current promotion allows eligible members to claim their three-month trial until late June 2024.
