Xbox All Access: What You Need To Know

By Noah Long • Updated September 3, 2018

Recently, Microsoft announced the Xbox All Access program. Xbox All Access is a two-year financing program, which makes it easier to buy an Xbox upfront.

Consumers can finance an Xbox One S, Xbox Game Pass, and Live Gold for two years at a price of $22 per month. Or you can upgrade to an Xbox One X with Xbox Game Pass and Live Gold for two years at a price of $35 per month. Once the two-year period ends, you will own the console fully.

But there are several limitations with the Xbox All Access program. For example, the financing program is a limited time offer. And you can only sign up for one of the financing programs through Microsoft’s retail stores.

The financing terms are 0% for 24 months and a down payment is not required. These price points provide a 20% discount on Xbox All Access and overall it saves about $120 for the Xbox One S and Xbox One X subscription plans when you consider buying each of the products individually.

The Xbox Game Pass is an on-demand streaming game service with an experience that is similar to Netflix. Microsoft is also going to roll out all of its first-party titles to Xbox Game Pass going forward.
