The preview window gives paying members first dibs on major titles like Battlefield 6 at $41.99 (40% off) and Elden Ring Nightreign for $29.99 (25% off). Subscribers can browse the deals through the "Deals" section of the Microsoft Store on their Xbox consoles starting today.
Microsoft's move extends Game Pass value beyond its subscription library, positioning the service as both a content platform and a retail loyalty program. The strategy mirrors previous years where members received similar early access privileges during seasonal sales events.
Notable discounts include Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC at $19.49 (25% off), Gears of War: Reloaded for $19.99 (50% off), and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy at $8.99 (85% off).
Hogwarts Legacy: Digital Deluxe Edition drops to $11.99 with an 80% discount, while Red Dead Redemption 2 hits $14.99 (75% off).
The full Xbox Spring Sale launches for all players around April 1-2, according to multiple sources tracking Microsoft's seasonal promotions. More titles are expected to join the discounted list when the preview period ends and the sale opens publicly.
Access requires an active Game Pass subscription across any tier, including PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The preview runs through March 31, giving members approximately seven days of exclusive shopping before non-subscribers gain entry.
Historical patterns suggest potential expansion of both title selection and price reductions when the full Xbox Spring Sale launches for all players around April 1-2.
