The BT-owned mobile and broadband provider has previously set out its ambition to become the UK’s top destination for gaming through initiatives such as the installation of gaming bays in over 175 of its high street stores and the retailing of all major console brands. 

It’s now going further with the launch of new gaming laptop bundles which include Xbox Games Pass Ultimate, its Gamers Data and Video Data passes plus Roam Abroad and Microsoft 365 for just £60 a month on a 24-month plan.

In addition, the network’s new console trade-in service allows customers to exchange select consoles from Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo for cash.

Sam Kemp, Director of Gaming at EE, said: “We’re delighted to be expanding our gaming offering to customers by introducing some of the best-in-class gaming hardware available through our new bundles.
