Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Perks announced alongside new game arrivals like Ace Combat 7

Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription servicesare gaining a bunch of new games in the second half of March, just as expected. Alongside them, however, the company also unveiled Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Perks today, a new feature for the $14.99 subscription that offers players additional content for their games like DLC and benefits.

In March, Ultimate subscribers can now claim in-game rewards for Sea of Thieves, Smite, World of Tanks, and Phantasy Star Online 2 in the Xbox Game Pass tab on console, the Xbox beta app on Windows, or the mobile app. These include perks like early unlocks for the free-to-play titles and Xbox game-themed content like a Sea of Thieves ship cosmetics bundle inspired by the Ori series.

Going into the incoming games to the services in the next couple of weeks, some heavy hitters include the Microsoft platform exclusive title Bleeding Edge at launch as well as recent hits like The Surge 2 and Ace Combat 7.

Xbox Game Pass for Console:

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown - March 19
Kona - March 19
The Surge 2 - March 19
Bleeding Edge - March 24
Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid - March 24

Xbox Game Pass for PC:

The PC titles are only listed as coming soon by Microsoft, but they tend to land around when the console releases happen.
