Firstly, every Xbox Game Studio (first-party) game is available on launch day. There are over 100+ games in the Xbox Game Pass library at any given time. If you do cancel, the games downloaded via Game Pass will be locked until you resume your subscription but you won't lose any save data. Like all Game Pass subscriptions, Ultimate is month-to-month with no lock-in contract so you're free to cancel at any time. Microsoft is offering a deal that gets you your first month of Game Pass Ultimate for $1, after which you will continue to pay $15.95 per month. Ultimate subscribers will also get all the associated perks with Xbox Live Gold, such as Deals with Gold (regular discounts) and Games with Gold (free monthly games). All up, that's about $28.90 per month of value for $15.95 per month. It also includes EA Play, another games subscription service that usually costs $6.99 per month. Xbox Live Gold is required to play a lot of games online and will typically cost you $10.95 per month alone. It gets you everything included in both the Console and PC Game Pass tiers with Xbox Live Gold and EA Play included.

The best value option is the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
