Getting the entire Xbox library at almost 50% off is a rare opportunity. Players in the United States can get the discount just as Halo: Campaign Evolved comes out on Xbox Game Pass.

The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription costs about $69. However, you can purchase a digital code at Eneba for the price of $39.18 as of the time of writing.

This brings down the price by nearly 50%, which is a pretty decent sale for the subscription.

The sale on Eneba comes right ahead of Halo: Campaign Evolved's July 28, 2026 release date. The game costs $49.99. However, it's a day-one release on the Game Pass.

If you purchase the Ultimate tier subscription at its sale price, you'll be able to download and play the game for only $39.01.

In fact, you'll also gain access to other AAA titles such as EA Sports FC 26, Forza Horizon 6, and Black Ops 7.

The subscription also benefits PC players. It will allow them to play Microsoft's catalogue of Game Pass games via the Xbox PC application.

PC players gain access but see a slightly different game selection.

The sale is great because normally, even a one-month subscription of Game Pass Ultimate will set you back $22.99. A one-month subscription is also on sale at the price of $15.63 on Eneba.

Upon purchase, players will get a digital key that can be used to activate the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership. Games accessed via the pass will remain available as long as you remain subscribed.

In one way, this is great for players. However, for studios, the story may be a little different.

Why some studio insiders "detest" Xbox Game Pass

Bloomberg's Jason Schreier recently discussed the Xbox Game Pass on the Triple Click Podcast. He suggested that insiders at the studio thoroughly dislike the Game Pass for one big reason.

"There are a lot of people out there in studio leadership within Xbox who absolutely detest Game Pass," Schreier said.

"(They) think it has destroyed the value of their games, think it has taken away the value from all games in general and has been a detriment to the games industry in those people's view, because of how it devalues games."

Take the upcoming Halo: Campaign Evolved as an example. The game will become available on Game Pass as soon as it gets released.

Those who are already subscribed to it will get it without actually buying a copy. Moreover, even without the discount, Game Pass generally costs less for a monthly subscription than the price of a modern AAA game.

Players could get a subscription to the Ultimate tier for $22.99 and finish the game by the time the month ends. They would then still have plenty of time to play and finish Forza Horizon 6 among other AAA games.
