Dive into the most recent update of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription service, where four exciting games have been unveiled for players to delve into, featuring three surprise titles. The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the ultimate tier of the Xbox Game Pass, granting subscribers access to all offerings available in the other tiers, including PC Game Pass games and titles from the EA Play library.
Each time a new game joins the EA Play library, it automatically becomes accessible to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, offering them a chance to experience some of EA's finest games, including recent sports titles. The latest update to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate collection has granted subscribers entry to a newer EA Sports title and three older EA games.
As highlighted by Pure Xbox, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has not only introduced NHL 24 for console players, a game previously mentioned in the Xbox Game Pass Wave 2 announcement, but has also included Populous: The Beginning, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack, and SimCity 3000 Unlimited for PC Game Pass members. With PC Game Pass being part of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate bundle, subscribers of Microsoft's top-tier service now have access to four engaging games. Despite some users encountering challenges when trying to download the three PC games, EA is actively addressing the issue and is expected to release a fix soon.
