Remember Xbox All Access, Microsoft’s monthly subscription that provided access to Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass along with an Xbox one console? It’s coming back on October 29th at Telstra in Australia, November 5th at GAME and Smyths Toys in the UK and on November 18th via Amazon in the United States. Furthermore, the deal now allows for upgrading to Project Scarlett down the line.
You need to pay $19.99 per month for 24 months with the following options available:
- Xbox One console: Players in the U.S. and U.K. can choose between Xbox One X, Xbox One S, or Xbox One S All-Digital Edition bundles. Players in Australia can select the Xbox One X Forza Horizon 4 bundle or the Xbox One S Forza Horizon 4 bundle. One Xbox Wireless Controller included with each bundle
- 24-month membership to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: Xbox Pass Ultimate includes all the benefits of Xbox Live Gold, including online multiplayer, and access to over 100 great games on console and PC.
- Option to upgrade to Project Scarlett once its available in Holiday 2020
You need to visit a participating retailer and select the console of choice along with being in good standing with the relevant financing partner. After signing up, the bundle is yours. Though it’s not the same as owning a console or building a library of games, Xbox All Access does allow more players to gain entry to Project Scarlett at launch.
Of course, some terms and conditions apply like an upgrade when going from the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition to Project Scarlett. The real question is: Will this drive more people to pick up Project Scarlett in the long-term? Time will tell so stay tuned for more details.
