The new service, called Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, combines Microsoft's $60 per year Xbox Live Gold with its $9.99 per month Xbox Game Pass. Xbox Live Gold is a gaming social network where you can play and chat with friends. Xbox Game Pass gives players access to a back catalog of more than 100 games, such as the world building title Minecraft and the epic action series Gears of War.

The Ultimate service launches later this year, Microsoft said, though the company will begin testing it soon.
