In addition to Xbox exclusives, a Game Pass Ultimate subscription nets you access to some of the most renowned indie games ever released, including Stardew Valley, Hades, Hollow Knight and more. You even get access to a bevy of big name franchises such as Battlefield and Star Wars Battlefront though the EA Play launcher.
