Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs $14.99 per month. However, you can get cheaper plans if you want to opt-in for just PC games ($9.99 per month) or just console games (also $9.99 per month).

While we Mac users have long awaited Microsoft to give us an official Xbox app for MacOS (much like the Windows 10 version), I have been trying to find a way to emulate the Xbox app on Mac, for useful input into in-game text chat in games like Warframe when it can get very tiresome to use the app on a phone. Before now, if you fancied playing console games on your Mac, you'd need to use PlayStation 4's Remote Play to do so. Windows 10 users have been able to stream Xbox One titles to their PCs since.
