If you're an Xbox owner, you're likely already aware of Xbox Game Pass. But if you've never heard of the subscription service, it's one of the reasons owning the console is an economical choice. Joining the service nets you a wide variety of over 100 games to enjoy for $16.99 per month so you don't have to spend hundreds to play tons of different games. But if you don't want to pay that, you can also join Xbox Game Pass Core, which is significantly cheaper, and still nets you a collection of different titles to enjoy.

As of April 10, you can get an Xbox 12-month Game Pass Core digital code for just $48.99 at Newegg when you use promo code SSDR844. That's $11 off its normal price of $59.99 and an 18% discount. The code is delivered via email upon purchase and it's for U.S.-registered Xbox accounts only. The sale is going on for the next day, and you should keep in mind that codes are non-refundable.

Xbox Game Pass Core is essentially what Xbox Live Gold became when Microsoft revamped its Xbox subscription services. It's the base Game Pass option and it grants access to online multiplayer and a selection of 25 games to play, including Halo 5: Guardians, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Call of Duty, and more.

If you're fine with that amount of games, you're set for a year and locked in with your membership. But you can upgrade to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and get loads more games as well as exclusive Xbox discounts and more using this subscription as well. Your one year of Xbox Game Pass Core can convert to 4 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate if you're interested. It's about $68 if you paid for four separate months of the service, so either way, you're getting some sweet savings here – and who doesn't like getting more games?
