Xbox have announced their Black Friday sale intentions, but before we get onto that we want to highlight one of the biggest deals the publisher has revealed – a Game Pass holiday bundle of crazy. New subscribers to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass can get a free six-month trial to Spotify Premium. The catch, however, is that you need to be a new subscriber to Spotify, and you’ll be.

You may have heard of a lot of news about games lately but, truth be told, it’s mostly business as usual for some of these platform makers and developers. Google, Sony, and Microsoft have all been putting out new free games like clockwork, hoping to prove that there are still things that are alright in this world. For Xbox console gamers, that means another selection of new titles this May. That is if you hold an Xbox Game Pass. /spotify-app-hardware-acceleration.html.

The gaming biz has changed considerably in the past years, from IAPs to loot boxes to subscription services with a rotating list of free games per month. The latter keeps gamers on their toes, not to mention having them play more regularly to get their money’s worth. Fortunately, many of them now have more hours to burn as well.

Coming this May to Xbox’s Game Pass selection are two titles that will have you shooting for survival. While DayZ will have you blasting away icky mutated zombies, Red Dead Redemption 2 will have you hunting down outlaws in the Old West. For those who prefer some more thoughtful games, Final Fantasy IX and Fracture Minds will take you on journeys around a fantasy world as well as inside the human psyche.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members also have something for their ears this May. Those in the US will get a free 6-month Spotify Premium account while those in the UK, France, Germany, Australia, Mexico, and Brazil will only get three months free. The catch? This is only valid for new Spotify Premium accounts.

As always, every new month also bids farewell to the old month’s free games. Grand Theft Auto V leaves the roster today, May 7th, while Black Desert, Doom, and The Banner Saga will wave goodbye on May 15. Xbox Game Pass members who have grown attached to these titles can, of course, buy them with a bit of a discount if they want.

(Pocket-lint) - Microsoft has announced a special offer that's exclusive to new subscribers of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

For a limited time, if you subscribe to Microsoft's all-in-one service, which combines Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass for both console and PC, you’ll receive six months of Spotify Premium ad-free music streaming as a perk with your membership. The biggest bonus, however, is that Xbox One players will be able to use the Spotify app to listen to music in the background of their games.

But, there's always a caveat. For this particular promo, Microsoft said it's only available for new Game Pass subscribers. You can't be an existing subscriber or one whose lapsed. In fact, to be eligible for the free six-month trial of Spotify Premium, you can’t ever have subscribed to Spotify’s top-tier service or even used a free Spotify trial before. That's pretty limiting if you ask us.

Still, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a terrific service. It typically costs $14.99 per month, but right now, you can get it $1 for a month or $2 for two months. Even if you do this deal, you’ll receive a code to redeem your Spotify Premium trial.
