While the two companies are fierce rivals in the computing space,AppleandMicrosoftare teaming up to makeXbox Game PassUltimate even better for its subscribers.

Microsoft has announced thatXbox Game Pass Ultimate memberscan get two new free perks: a three-month trial ofApple TV Plusand a three-month trial ofApple Music. If you’re like me and haven’t subscribed to the service before, you finally have a reason to watchTed Lasso(which I’ve been told is amazing).

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is already a great deal for gamers. You get access to a Netflix-style library of games that you can download and play on your PC,Xbox Series X,Xbox Series S, or Xbox One, as well as a near-identical library that can be streamed over the internet to your smartphone, Xbox console, or PC. I’ve recently been using it to play Persona 5 Royal and while the experience is much better on my4KTV, being able to pick up my playthrough from bed using myPixel 6is super convenient.

But alongside the games, you also get free perks which have includedDisney PlusandParamount Plussubscriptions, and digital goodies for the titles you’re playing. The only downside to the perks that give you free access to other subscription services is that you can’t have signed up for the service before.

So with these latest Apple perks, I can get the three-month trial of Apple TV Plus – letting me watch all of thebest showsandbest filmson the streaming service for free – but as a current Apple Music subscriber I’ll miss out on three free months of that service.

You don’t have to miss out on either though, even if you aren’t yet a Game Pass Ultimate member. The perks will be available to subscribers until March 31, 2023. As long as you sign up and claim them before that date, you should be golden.
