- Hi, I'm Agent Davis.
And today I'll show you how to set up
an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership on a few devices.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a membership from Microsoft
that gives you access to hundreds
of high quality games and more.
Plus you get to enjoy the benefits of Xbox Live Gold,
EA play and even play across devices from the cloud.
I'll show you how that works later in the video.
First, here's what you'll need.
An Xbox, a Windows computer, mobile device.
For this video, I'll be using an Xbox Series S,
an ASUS ROG gaming laptop,
and a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G smartphone.
The steps might be a little different
depending on your devices.
There are a few ways to join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Today, I'm going to show you three.
First on an Xbox, second on a computer
and third on a mobile device.
All right, let's get started
with the first option, using an Xbox.
Start by going to the Microsoft store
and then select Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
On the left-hand select redeem.
Now grab your membership card or redemption email
and find the code.
Enter it here.
Great. Now let me show you how to use it.
Go to the Xbox Game Pass app on your console and select it.
Find the game you're looking for,
or select show all to see all the games
that are available with the membership.
When you find the winner, select it and choose install.
I'm going to pick "Halo 5".
After the game is installed,
you can launch it and begin playing.
It's that simple.

Now let's move on to the second method, using a computer.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate allows you
to stream games on your computer,
through the Xbox app or your browser.
You can also download through the app
and play most of them locally too,
if that's what you prefer.
But if you do plan to stream your gameplay,
you need to pair your Xbox controller to the computer.
So I'll show you how to do that now.
Press and hold the pairing button on the Xbox controller
until the Xbox button starts flashing.

Click the start button on your computer.
Then settings, then click on devices,
Click on Add Bluetooth or other device.
Next click on Bluetooth.
When the Xbox controller appears in the list, click on it.
Once the screen says
your device is ready to go, click on done.
Now, open a supported browser,
like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome,
and go to xbox.com/play.
Next click on sign in, and then log into your Xbox account.
Look through the games and select the one you want to play.
I'm going to choose "Ori and the Will of the Wisps".
Select play.
The stream will start it's setup,
including connecting the controller
and then launch the game.
That's it, play away.
All right, moving on to the third option
of using your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership
through a mobile device, but first a few call-outs.
The games are streamed from the cloud to your device.
This is useful, especially if you started the game
on another device like your Xbox
and you want to pick up where you left off on your phone.
You can do that because the games are streaming.
Internet speeds and connectivity are critical.
You need to have a connection speed
of at least 10 megabits per second for most,
but some require at least 20.
Lastly, some games on your mobile device
support using your touch screen.
Others might require you to pair a controller
that came with your system.
Just make sure you check before you start.
Alright, call-outs complete.
Let me show you how to start
using Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on your mobile device.
First, download and install the Xbox Game Pass app,
open the app and sign into your Xbox account.
Select the cloud option.
Then find the game you want to play.
I'm going to select "Halo 5"
so I can continue the game I started on my console earlier.
Click play.
The streaming process will begin
and you'll be gaming in no time.
Smooth.
And there you have it.
