Next Friday, February 13, is going to be a big day Xbox Game Pass members. Xbox Game Pass controversially raised its price last year, but Microsoft is trying to keep customers happy by ensuring there's a steady stream of new games added to the service. Whether those efforts will pay off remains to be seen, but in the meantime, members will reap the benefits.
Apart from adding new games to Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft has added more benefits to the service after the price hike. One of the big ones is the addition of Fortnite Crew to Game Pass Ultimate, which gives members access to everything like free skins and V-Boxes. If you're someone who was already paying for Fortnite Crew and Game Pass Ultimate, you're actually saving money on the latter thanks to the services being bundled together. Others will look to add a new game to justify the price increase, and there are some heavy hitters on the way this month.
