Too many games? Xbox Game Pass now gives you thousands of Marvel comics, too.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Xbox Game Pass is already excellent value, offering access to hundreds of games for a monthly subscription fee, but its about to get more attractive outside of play time, too.

As part of your subscription deal, youll now also get three months free
access to the superb Marvel Unlimited comics app , which is available on iPhone, Android devices, tablets and computers. Note that there is not a native Marvel Unlimited app for Xbox Series X , S or One though you may be able to access some of its features through its website on the Edge browser.

If Game Pass is Netflix for Xbox games, Marvel Unlimited is Netflix for
Marvel comics, giving you instant access to a library of almost every Marvel comic ever printed aside from those released within the last 6 months. At present, theres more than 300,000 digital comics available through the app.

As ever, theres a catch. The deal runs until May 31, and you have to be a brand new subscriber to Marvel Unlimited you cant use the deal to top up an existing sub. But for everyone else, considering Marvel Unlimited is usually set at a monthly fee of $9.99, or an annual fee of $69.99, its a great chance to give it a try. The building blocks of the MCU

If youve just come out of a screening of The Batman , then, sure, Marvel Unlimited wont be for you DC Comics characters like Batman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman wont be featured on the Marvel-only Unlimited app.

But if youve just read our how to watch the Marvel movies in order guide, and are wondering where all those magical stories came from, Marvel Unlimited is like a crash course in comic book history.

From the very first appearance of Spider-Man to the latest adaptations of Venom, Vision and The Avengers, youll be able to go through decades of story arcs, dip your toes into obscure back issues without paying through the nose for collectors prices, and get insight into the worlds of upcoming small screen stars like Moon Knight and Ms Marvel. Its a great app on mobile
devices in particular, where you can take advantage of its offline issue downloading capabilities, and a Smart Panel option which fills your screen with the action of one comic frame at a time, giving a cinematic swipe
through each story.

Beyond the games, the perks of Game Pass are stacking up. Theres a 30-day
free trial of Paramount Plus in the US to sample the first few Halo TV show episodes, a 4 month trial of Spotify, YouTube Premium and Crunchyroll offers too. Pretty, pretty good. Xbox Game Pass deals : the best price for the Microsoft gaming subscription
