Video games can be an expensive pastime, so the Xbox All Access program has been unveiled by Microsoft as a new subscription service for consumers to help them enjoy the latest hardware and software at one low price.
The program doesn't involve any upfront costs and starts at just $22 a month to let users finance a new console instead of paying for it outright or paying hefty interest fees with a credit card. This limited-time offer also includes 24 months of Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold, which will come as welcome news to users who are seeking a cost-effective way to enjoy a number of different titles.
The Xbox All Access programs addresses the rising popularity of subscription services as consumers opt to pay low monthly fees rather than large lump sums.
