Game and streaming subscriptions at the best price

You will find three broad groups. Multi game services, such as Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, Nintendo Switch Online and EA Play, give you access to a large rotating library for a flat monthly fee. Game time services, such as the recurring access used by titles like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV, keep your favourite online game active.

And media subscriptions, such as Spotify, Netflix, YouTube Premium and Crunchyroll, cover music, film and anime. You can compare codes for all of them in one place, pick the duration you want to top up, and grab whichever offer is cheapest this week.

It depends on how much you play and which type you choose. A multi game service is excellent value if you play a lot of different titles, since a single monthly fee can replace several full price purchases, and with hundreds of games on tap you will almost always find something to play. A game time service is the only way to keep playing certain online titles, so for dedicated fans it pays for itself.

Media subscriptions are worth it if you use them regularly, and many people share one household plan to spread the cost. Whatever you pick, buying a discounted code lowers the price, which is exactly what XD.deals is for. If you would rather own your games outright, compare gift cards and wallet funds instead.

For most players the strongest all round pick is Xbox Game Pass, especially the Ultimate tier. It works on both Xbox and PC, includes day one first party releases, cloud streaming and EA Play, and has one of the largest libraries on the market, which gives it a very strong price to game ratio. Even indecisive players will find plenty to enjoy, from blockbuster releases to unique indie titles.

PlayStation Plus is the better fit if you are invested in the PlayStation ecosystem and want Sony exclusives, with its Essential, Extra and Premium tiers. Nintendo Switch Online adds online play, cloud saves and a catalogue of classic games at a low price. Compare current codes for each above and pick what suits your library.

Redeem the code on the matching platform or service account. The membership activates immediately and the remaining time appears in your account, so you can start playing or watching right away. The process is the same idea everywhere, whether you are on Xbox, PlayStation, the EA app or a media service.

Many services let you stack months by redeeming several codes up to a maximum balance, which is a great way to lock in a discount for the long run. Trial codes and some tiers cannot be stacked, though, so check the product page and the platform rules before you buy more than one.

Usually yes. A subscription code generally only works on an account registered in the matching region, just like wallet gift cards. Always confirm that the region shown on the product page matches your account before you buy, since a mismatched code may fail to redeem.

If you are buying for someone else, check which region their account uses first. When the region lines up, activation is instant and the membership simply starts or extends from there.

Yes. The subscription model reaches far beyond games, and we list codes for popular media services alongside the gaming ones. Services like Spotify reshaped how we listen to music, while Netflix, YouTube Premium and Crunchyroll did the same for film and anime, and you can compare prices for many of them here.

Just search for the service you want, pick the duration you would like to top up, and compare the available offers. If you also want games to fill that new library, take a look at the latest game deals or browse in game currency for your favourite titles.
