That means fans from London to Leeds can dive into the virtual pitch using nothing more than their telly, a controller, and a Game Pass subscription. Gamers will need an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership to get in on the action, but there's a huge bonus for those who haven't signed up before. Samsung is offering two months completely free. Just head to the Samsung Promotions app on your TV, tap the Xbox promotion banner, or scan the QR code shown on screen using your mobile. Once inside the game, fans can take control of over 19,000 real-life players, representing more than 700 clubs from across 30 leagues. Whether you fancy running a team in career mode, teaming up with mates in 5v5 Rush, or managing every aspect of your club with the new FC IQ system, the options are endless. It's the most immersive version of the game yet, and thanks to Samsung's deal with Microsoft and Electronic Arts, it's all available instantly via the cloud – no downloads, discs or consoles required. It also means you can go from watching the big match live on TV to jumping straight into one of your own, all on the same screen. Samsung's Gaming Hub is also home to other major streaming platforms including Amazon Luna and Nvidia GeForce Now, giving even more reason for gamers to stay glued to their smart screens. Hun Lee, executive vice president of Samsung's Visual Display Business, said: 'We are delighted to bring EA SPORTS FC 25 to Samsung TVs and monitors through cloud gaming on Samsung Gaming Hub. Virgin Media Launches Two Free Rakuten TV Channels As the world's leading TV manufacturer, one of our goals is to immerse soccer fans around the world in the exciting game of soccer, whether they are playing the game or watching a match live on a Samsung TV.' The promotion is expected to drive a wave of interest from casual fans and hardcore gamers alike, especially with the current buzz surrounding the EA FC franchise. Just last week, Real Madrid and England ace Jude Bellingham made headlines at the EA FC 25 launch in Madrid, where he rolled his eyes at an overly dramatic intro calling him 'the main man from Madrid'. He's also just been unveiled as the cover star for the EA FC 25 Ultimate Edition, appearing alongside football legends David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, and Gianluigi Buffon. With the Euros in full swing and football fever gripping the nation, Samsung's latest perk is perfectly timed. If you've got a compatible Samsung screen at home, this is your moment to take to the pitch without spending a penny more. All you need is the telly, a controller, and a few taps to get started.

Will Revenge of the Savage Planet be available on Xbox Game Pass?
Image via Raccoon Logic. After being released on May 8, 2025, Revenge of the Savage Planet has attracted all the fans towards itself. Serving as a sequel to the 2020 release, Journey of the Savage Planet , this Raccoon Logic title emphasises co-op and replaces the first-person architecture of its predecessor with a tighter third-person viewpoint in a sci-fi world. This game is a treat for everyone as this is available on all kinds of popular platforms - Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. However, is it going to be available on the Xbox Game Pass? Let's explore the answer. Is Revenge of the Savage Planet available on Xbox Game Pass? Revenge of the Savage Planet Launch Trailer by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Get Exclusive Offers on 1 & 2 BHK Homes @Dosti™ Nest Dosti Realty Learn More Undo The answer is 'YES.' Revenge of the Savage Planet is available on Xbox Game Pass. Not only that, this was a day-one Xbox Game Pass launch, that means it has been available on the popular subscription service from the game's release date itself. There are a total of two editions for the game: Standard Edition and Cosmic Hoarder Edition , which are priced at $35.99 and $44.99 respectively. However, as the game is available on Xbox Game Pass, subscribers will be able to enjoy this title without spending a single penny for this title. Keep in mind, only the Standard edition is available on Game Pass, not the Cosmic Hoarder Edition, which grants several headstarts like cosmetics, early access, additional quests, rewards, and many more. Also it's important to remember that Revenge of the Savage Planet is only available for the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or the Game Pass PC subscribers, as it's not available for Game Pass Core and Game Pass Standard. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass for PC cost $19.99 and $11.99 respectively, which is a way lesser than the actual price of even the base game. Now, those who don't want to spend a single penny just for the game, can purchase the Game Pass to enjoy this game for one month. However, buying the Game Pass will allow players to play hundreds of other games as well, along with Revenge of the Savage Planet. Not only that, with the subscription plan for PC players, they can even play Xbox titles on their PCs, despite not having an Xbox console.

In fact, you can even enjoy these games on your phone if you've got a good enough internet connection, thanks to cloud gaming. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

If you're not sure which subscription is right for you, CNET is here to help you find exactly what you're looking for at a great price. Max McHone is one of our dedicated deals writers (and an avid gamer), with years of experience helping readers make the most of their budgets. With that, the CNET deals team has broken down the key differences between the membership tiers and rounded up the best Game Pass deals currently available to help you choose the right plan and get signed up for less. CNET reviewer Dan Ackerman called it the "best content deal in gaming," and you can get it for even less with the best Xbox Game Pass deals we've posted below. We'll continue to update this page as bargains come and go, so be sure to check back often for the best prices available. What is the best Game Pass deal right now?

Best Xbox Game Pass deals Unlike the comparable subscriptions for PlayStation, there's no official annual membership plan.

To help you save some cash each month, we've rounded up some of the best (and only) ones available right now below.

Existing or previous Game Pass subscribers can purchase these codes and stack them, so you can extend your membership and pay for several months ahead of time at a lower cost. Xbox / CNET See at CDKeys Game Pass Core (3 months): $21 If you don't fancy signing up for an annual subscription, there is also a three-month option so you can try it out for a bit.

It covers what was previously included with a Gold subscription, providing access to online multiplayer for console gamers. This new membership also offers access to a library of over 25 titles, including popular games like Doom Eternal and Fallout 4. PC Game Pass If you're a PC gamer, PC Game Pass is still budget-friendly. It's up from $10 to $12 per month, but it still includes access to a much larger library of hundreds of PC games and access to new games on the day they go on sale. This subscription also includes an EA Play membership, which adds a whole bunch more games to your library and provides some exclusive rewards and content for select EA titles. Game Pass Standard This new tier is Microsoft's replacement for the previous Game Pass Console membership. It costs $15 per month and offers perks such as select discounts, online multiplayer and other benefits of the Console tier. It doesn't include games released on Day 1. Game Pass Ultimate Game Pass Ultimate is the best of all worlds. At $20 a month, an Ultimate subscription bundles the benefits of a Core and Standard membership. You'll get access to the entire Game Pass library on your console, PC and mobile device, including access to select titles on Day 1, and you'll have the ability to participate in online multiplayer. You'll also get perks like exclusive offers and in-game content, and it includes the EA Play subscription that you get with the PC membership. Like many people, our reviewer called Game Pass Ultimate the "best content deal in gaming" and it's the best option out there for all-around gamers who don't want to compromise. How we choose Game Pass deals at CNET Savings on Xbox gaming subscriptions can be pretty tough to come by.
