The Sony-owned anime streaming service Funimation has announced that it has partnered with Xbox to give away two months of a Premium Plus subscription for free to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members.
The deal is part of the Xbox Game Pass Perks program, and gives users access to the entire library of content including My Hero Academia, Black Clover, Naruto, Plunderer, RADIANT and many more.
Here's what Fadhilah Lee, Funimation executive director of distribution and partnerships had to say in a press release:
“Anime is incredibly popular with gamers and they share a unique sensibility that makes for a great marketing partnership. Teaming up with Xbox is a great way for gamers to satisfy their love of both gaming and anime.”
You should soon find the new Perk on Xbox One, the Xbox app for Windows 10 and the Xbox Game Pass app for mobile (it hasn't appeared for us yet), which will provide you with a promo code to redeem the deal online.
However, be aware that this offer is only available to new Funimation subscribers in the US, UK, Ireland and Canada.
Will you be making use of this? Let us know in the comments below.

OMG WHAT I WAS KIDDING I DIDN'T ACTUALLY EXPECT THIS LMBO
Wait I just realized, "Sony-Owned"...Makes this even cooler.
See, sony can share lol
I use funimation daily on my mobile, it's not bad for £4.99 a month
It appeared for me!
Worth mentioning you have to claim by October 24th, and a credit card is required.
Awesome! I'll definitely give this a go. I don't really watch much anime, but there's a bunch on this service that I was really into when I was younger, and would be a lot of fun to revisit.
@HotGoomba Anime? Azure(cloud)? It’s all about business at the end.
This is great. Will be interesting to see if the usual fanboys here will find a way to spin this as being something bad.
Sony are sharing in the hope that Xbox will share some Bethesda games later...
LMAO
@BAMozzy since the anime market brings in 20 billion a year its a fair trade lol
But we all know it wouldn't happen
How much after 2 months?
Too bad Funimation is not available here in finland.
2 month challenge to watch all of One Piece.
