Loaded (CDKeys) Cuts Xbox Game Pass Ultimate 3- and 12-Month Renewals Again

Microsoft’s latest pricing shake-up didn’t keep Xbox Game Pass Ultimate prepay costs rising—at least not everywhere. Loaded (formerly CDKeys) has rolled out another major discount on digital subscription renewals, pushing renewals to their lowest level of the season and bringing prices below what players saw just a few months ago.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate renewals hit a seasonal low

The deal is delivered digitally and is available for accounts in Spain and multiple Latin American countries, including Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. Players need to sign in on the retailer’s website to see the updated prices correctly.

  • Loaded is offering a “new important reduction” on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate renewals
  • Renewals are described as being at the lowest point of the season
  • Cards can be stacked for up to 36 months
  • No VPN is required (instant activation is claimed)

What’s included in Game Pass Ultimate

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate bundles access across platforms and services. The subscription includes:

  • Unlimited access to hundreds of games on console, PC, and mobile
  • Day One releases from Xbox Game Studios and third-party publishers
  • EA Play and Ubisoft+ Classics included at no extra cost
  • Fortnite Crew integrated (scheduled for the next few days)
  • Cloud gaming via Xbox Cloud Gaming
  • Online multiplayer included, along with exclusive benefits

Why this matters and what to watch next

When subscription prices drop below recent months—especially on long-term renewals—it’s the kind of window many players only get occasionally. Loaded’s offer is currently framed as a short-lived low point, so if you were considering renewing, the message is to lock it in while the pricing is at its best.

Expect availability and pricing to fluctuate at any time, and keep an eye on how Ultimate’s November lineup and year-end releases affect subscription demand. Also note that Fortnite Crew integration is set to roll in over the coming days.
