Microsoft has reached an agreement with T-Mobile to include Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Premium in US mobile plans: starting in November 2026, select subscribers will be able to choose the gaming subscription as an additional perk.
The offer will appear in T-Mobile T-Mix plans. Depending on the chosen tier, users will gain access to the corresponding library of games and the ability to play on Xbox, PC, Smart TVs, and via the Cloud Gaming service where available.
This is the first time Game Pass has been included in a mobile carrier's offering in the US.
T-Mobile is developing its Standard, More, and Loaded plans, complementing them with Picks bundles. In addition to games, these include video streaming services, music, sports, food delivery, AI tools, and devices.
A similar scheme is in place in the UK with the carrier EE. Now Microsoft will test whether American subscribers will be interested in the ability to pay for Game Pass together with mobile service.
The subscription cost and the number of Picks required to activate Ultimate or Premium have not yet been fully disclosed. The new option will become available to eligible T-Mix customers in November 2026.
