EE launches new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate add-on for Android smartphones

New and existing EE Android smartphone customers on a Smart or Essential plan can access Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with unlimited data for just £10 per month

EE today launched a new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate add-on for Android smartphone customers, giving them access to over 100 Xbox games on the go with inclusive unlimited data for just £10 per month, providing a saving of over £100 a year.

The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate add-on launches as research commissioned by EE reveals that the number of mobile gamers increased almost a fifth (18%) since the start of the pandemic. And the trend is set to continue as restrictions lift.

EE is also providing those who take the add-on with inclusive unlimited data – perfect for the 76% of consumers who say they would stream more high-quality mobile games if they didn’t need to worry about the impact of gaming on their mobile data allowance.

The add-on is available to all EE Pay Monthly Android smartphone customers on a Smart or Essential plan for £10 a month on a 30-day rolling contract. Customers will be able to enjoy a range of games on their smartphone via Xbox Cloud Gaming (beta), including Forza Horizon 4, Sea of Thieves and Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

For those who want to take gaming to the next level, EE also offers a range of hardware and accessories, including the Razer Kishi mobile gaming controller, via EE Add To Plan. With Add To Plan, customers can spread the cost of their new accessory, interest free, across their pay monthly EE plan over 11 months.

Alistair Wilson, Director of Partnerships, EE said:

“As the UK’s number one network for 5G and gaming, we continually look for ways to help our customers get the most from their mobile gaming experience. The number of mobile gamers has increased by almost a fifth (18%) during lockdown.

As restrictions lift our new add-on provides customers with real value, allowing them to access and play over 100 high quality games on the move with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and all without the need to worry about impacting their monthly data allowance.”

Customers who want to play on a bigger screen can also access Xbox Game Pass Ultimate games on an Android tablet via the cloud, Windows 10 PC or an Xbox console.
