Xbox has announced today that it has joined forces with T-Mobile to provide Xbox Game Pass as part of a new "T-Mix" wireless plan - said to be "the first time that XBOX Game Pass will be available through a wireless plan in the U.S.".
Both Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass Premium will be available to choose for "eligible" T-Mix customers as of November, providing access to all the usual games for those tiers across console, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Here's a bit more about it:
"Beginning in November, eligible T-Mix customers can choose Game Pass Ultimate or Premium, unlocking an instant library of games playable on the devices they already own, including XBOX consoles, Smart TVs, PCs, and more. This is the first time that XBOX Game Pass will be available through a wireless plan in the U.S., giving more players another way to jump in and play."
Looking at the official announcement for T-Mix, it's said that T-Mobile's existing Standard, More and Loaded plans are being enhanced with "Picks", which include Xbox Game Pass along with loads of other benefits including "streaming, music, gaming, food delivery, sports, AI, wireless benefits and device promotions".
Here's an example of how the pricing structure will work:
While this is the first time such a deal has been offered in the United States, we've seen it before in places like the UK with the EE network, and it seems to have proven quite popular in that case.
Who knows how it'll go down with T-Mobile customers in a few days' time, but we can certainly vouch for the quality of both Game Pass Ultimate and Premium, and we reckon this deal will be able to create some new fans in the process.
