    The nice thing about buying gift cards through Best buy is you know they will be legitimate. Never had a problem.

    I purchase my games don't need to be charged a fee for games to rent that I don't even play. Bring back the 59.99 (was $100.00 for 4-family pack for live accounts or $24.99 for one live account)live access to @xbox live. Nobody told you to acquire those studios! Get your money back elsewhere and just give players a more budget-friendly access to the games we purchased.

    Best Deal for Xbox GAME PASS CORE!!!!!!!!!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Im so happy best buy offers this! I almost fell for Microsofts ploy, they want to charge month to month 9.99 for game pass thats 119.88 bucks a year! Double of what gold was! They only offer month (9.99) or quarter (24.99) on the xbox and Microsoft website! Im glad i did a lot of searching and research before i did it on the xbox. So if your like me and liked buying gold (game pass core) 1 time a year for a fair price, best buy is the way to go!!!!! Thanks!!!! Saturday september 23 2023 09/23/2023

    The Xbox Game Pass Core 12-Month Membership is absolutely worth it. You get online multiplayer, access to a solid library of games, and exclusive discounts, all at a great yearly price. The digital code arrived instantly and activation was quick and easy. I primarily use it for Battlefield 6, Halo, and Starfield, and it works perfectly every time. Being able to jump online with friends and have a rotating library of great titles makes this a no-brainer subscription. If you play multiplayer on Xbox, this is basically essential. Great value and super convenient for year-round gaming.

    The Xbox Game Pass Core 12-Month Membership is a fantastic deal for anyone who loves gaming. It gives access to online multiplayer and a solid selection of games to play. The monthly game library isn’t as large as Game Pass Ultimate, but for the price, it’s still a great value. Redeeming the code was easy, and everything activated instantly. If you're looking for an affordable way to enjoy online gaming and some extra titles, this is definitely worth it!
