Microsoft’s Xbox subscription service is now official: a store link to the new Xbox All Access plan went live this morning, and it details how it works and how much it will cost. As reported by The Verge last week, the plan lets you lease an Xbox One X or standard Xbox One S for either $34.99 or $21.99 a month, respectively. The plan resembles one Microsoft offered more than six years ago when it sold a subsidized Xbox 360 with Xbox Live Gold at the end of that generation’s lifecycle.
You have to commit for two years, but with that subscription, you get Xbox Live Gold, which lets you play multiplayer games online and access free titles and other benefits every month, and Xbox Game Pass, the game subscription service Microsoft sells for $9.99. If you do the math, you’d actually save money over the course of 24 months, but only about $20.
