Seven new games are joining in the second half of April, including four new releases. Xbox also announced three games coming to Game Pass Core. However, six games will leave Microsoft’s subscription service at the end of the month.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Adds Awesome New Perk to Cap Off March 2024, But There's a Catch

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can now claim a free three-month trial of YouTube Premium. The offer, available until late June, caps off another perk-filled month for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
The highest tier of Microsoft's subscription service adds a variety of membership perks each month. Not all of them are gaming-related, and most tend to be available to claim for at least several months. One of the most recent such offers debuted in mid-March, when Xbox Game Pass Ultimate started giving away the Persona 3 Reload Expansion Pass.
The latest freebie to reach the service arrives in the form of three months' worth of YouTube Premium. YouTube's subscription is priced at $13.99 per month or $139.99 annually, placing the value of this perk at between $35 and $42. However, there's one major catch in that the three-month membership is classified as a trial, meaning it's only available to new users. Those with existing subscriptions cannot take advantage of the offer, and neither can anyone who previously activated a YouTube Premium trial on their Google account. This even goes for trials of overlapping and discontinued services, such as YouTube Music Premium and Google Play Music.
YouTube Premium was already once part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate perks, having originally been offered to Microsoft's subscribers back in late 2021. That particular freebie was also limited to new YouTube Premium users. As for the promo at hand, eligible Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members have until late June 2024 to claim their three-month trial.
This freebie adds to the already extensive list of perks that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate introduced in March 2024. Of those, the ones closest to expiring is the PitCoin Reward pack for F1 23, which is only available to claim until April 1. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members have until April 2 to claim the Apex Legends Charm Bonanza weapon and the March monthly member bonus for Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis, which comprises six Scape Dolls for reviving teammates and weapon upgrade materials in the form of 50 Photon Chunks. A 30-day free trial of Paramount+ is also on offer until April 7.
Although many of the perks that Microsoft bundles with its service are inherently tied to one's subscription, that isn't always the case. The recently introduced Persona 3 Reload Expansion Pass is one such example of an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate perk that turned out better than expected, as it's free to keep forever after being claimed.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the highest tier of Microsoft's flagship game subscription service that offers over 100 game titles that you can play with a single purchase, making it one of the most outstanding value propositions of the Xbox ecosystem to date.
