Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can get a 30-day Disney+ trial

By Giovanni Colantonio November 9, 2020

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can now grab a 30-day trial of Disney+. The new perk is available through Microsoft’s game service through January, though with a few caveats.

Starting today, subscribers can get a Disney+ trial at no additional cost. The perk is only available for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, so those who have the PC or Console exclusive versions of the service are not included in the deal.

Players can claim the trial through the perks gallery on their consoles, the Xbox Game Pass mobile app, or via the Xbox app on Windows 10. The perk can be claimed anytime from now until January 31 and must be redeemed before March 2. After the trial is up, the service will automatically renew, costing the normal $7 per month.

The main catch is that the offer is only available for new Disney+ subscribers. Those who already have an account will not get an extra 30 days for free. Subscribers must be 18 or older to claim the deal.

Microsoft recently confirmed that the Xbox Series X and Series S will include the Disney+ app at launch. The streaming service is currently available on the Xbox One and will get its own dedicated button on the PlayStation 5’s new media remote.

The perk is especially valuable considering that Disney is no longer offering free trials of its service. While Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs $15 a month, the perk is currently one of the only ways to check out Disney’s streaming service without paying its $7 monthly fee upfront.

Two characters in power armor in Fallout 4.

The Fallout TV series just released on Amazon Prime, and it's one of the best video game adaptations out there. It perfectly captures the tense, humorous feel of the postapocalyptic video game series while telling a new story with original characters. If you've just watched the show, you're probably itching to play a Fallout title again or check out one of the games the series is based on for the first time. Thankfully, if you're subscribed to one of the major video game subscription services, that's very easy to do.

Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 are all on at least one gaming subscription service.

Fallout 4 is finally getting free Xbox Series X and PS5 upgrades

New Fallout 4 Creation Club mod content coming with the Xbox Series X and PS5 launch.

Bethesda has confirmed that the current-gen update for Fallout 4 will finally release on April 25.

That's good timing, as a Fallout TV show just released on Amazon Prime this month to positive buzz. Fallout 4 came out for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox One in 2015, and this definitely looks like it will be the most substantial update the game has received since its last expansion was released.

You need to play this underrated zombie shooter before it leaves Xbox Game Pass

A massive Ridden in Back 4 Blood.

All of us have gaming opinions that go against the grain or zeitgeist around certain titles. Oftentimes, it’s because your personal opinion on a title is negative -- I was like that with Sonic Frontiers -- but it can go in a more positive direction. For me, a game I’m a very positive outlier on is Back 4 Blood, a Left 4 Dead successor developed by Turtle Rock Studios and published by WB Games.

Although Back 4 Blood got decent reviews from critics, the public's general response toward the title is more mixed on platforms like Steam. Fewer people are playing it than Left 4 Dead 2 on PC at this point. I've always loved this game, as I enjoy the variance and replay value it introduces, as also think the different playable characters and level design make this one of the most enjoyable co-op shooters of the past several years.
