News culture Crunchyroll is partnering with Xbox Game Pass, a 75-day trial to claim “free”

summary
- 75 days trial version
- Xbox in the PlayStation area
In a post on the US version of its blog, Xbox announced the launch of a free trial version of Crunchyroll Premium for all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
75 days trial version
Starting today, Anime consumers and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers (including Xbox Game Pass PC and Console) can access the 75-day trial version of Crunchyroll. It is an SVOD platform for simulcasting (one hour after broadcasting in Japan) animated films such as One piece, My hero academy, Demon Hunter or Jujutsu Kaisen.
Please note, however, that in order to benefit from such an offer, you must not yet have subscribed to a trial version or a Crunchyroll offer. What’s more, this is actually a 75-day trial, rather than a subscription included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. ($ 12.99 per month). An offer available from today through February 2, 2022 is welcome. In fact, a lot of animations are expected during this time: Jujutsu Kaisen 0 will be prequeled on December 24th, while the second season of Demon Slayer kicks off in Japan on December 5th.
Xbox in the PlayStation area
If manga and anime have been on the rise in recent years (and especially in France, the second most manga country), manufacturers are dying to ride that wave of success. Such a partnership between Xbox and Crunchyroll has already been achieved: Last September, Crunchyroll Premium subscribers received three months of Xbox Game Pass PC “free”. An association that highlights the indirect war that Xbox and Sony can wage.
And the latter seems to be slightly ahead of its American competitor: In August, he completed the purchase of Crunchyroll for more than a billion dollars. An acquisition almost synonymous with full powers for the Japanese manufacturer. In fact, Sony Pictures Entertainment is the parent company of Crunchyroll, but also the Anime Digital Network (or DNA) and Wakanim. On this occasion, Sony had also indicated that it “a uniform animation offer as soon as possible“.
