Get your game on the elite way with $5 off Xbox Live Gold

If you're any kind of gamer at all, you know that Xbox has come out with its latest generation of consoles. Whether you're on the Series X or Series S, they give you access to some of the best games on the market with graphics that put other systems to shame.

So while we'd never think of telling anyone how to game, it would kind of be a waste to use all that hardware playing Tetris. That's why gamers who want to get the most out of their Xbox need to seriously consider a membership to Xbox Live Gold — especially now that it's available for 20% off.

There's one big reason that an Xbox Live subscription is nearly essential for console gamers, and that's multiplayer. Only members can get online and play against or with a network of millions of other combatants on epic titles such as Halo Infinite and Gears 5.

Once you're logged in, you start finding teammates and get alerts even if you're watching TV with the Xbox off. Plus, the whole network is cloud hosted to keep lag at a minimum.

But that's just the start of the perks. Xbox Live Gold members also get their pick of exclusive deals that include up to 75% off games, add-ons, and other media. And here's the cherry on top: You also get the ability to download up to four games every month, free of charge, and yours to keep.

This month's list of free titles includes the moody action epic Gods Will Fall and the classic strategy action game Portal 2.

That's a lot to look forward to, and this deal won't last forever. Right now, Bleeping Computer readers can get a three-month subscription to Xbox Live Gold for $19.99, a 20% discount off the $24.99 MSRP.
