Xbox unveils Game Pass subscription service

Here in the United Kingdom, that’s cheaper than the cost of a standard cinema ticket.

In their official website, The developer stated that you can play and enjoy games across various genres, And with new titles appended every month, you’ll always have an ample selection of exceptional games. Thousands are expected to attend the annual three-day convention to see the latest games and announcements from the gaming industry. When the full service is ready to go live, Xbox Live Gold members will have early access.

We will continue to update you as Microsoft releases more details about the new subscription based program. You need an active Xbox Game Pass subscription to play games.

Xbox Game Pass will provide some incentive to new gamers looking for a regular supply of games at a lower price.

The term “Netflix for games” is bounded about all too frequently, but a new service from Microsoft might be just that for Xbox owners. “However, Xbox Game Pass is only available on Xbox One consoles”.

We’ve had a look at them in the past, and have either bought them already or declined them. As things stand at the moment, Xbox Game Pass is superior to PlayStation Now.

There are a few caveats: These games will be listed under a special “Creators” section of Microsoft’s digital games store, and there’s a one-time fee of at least $20 to get started. The result is that the trade-in values of the games included in the service will assuredly plummet. Members with this will be allowed to keep the games after they leave monthly rotation.

As to the release date, expecting the PlayStation 5 this year would just be too optimistic as the Pro version just hit the shelves a year ago. It’s a sign that investors see the service as a real threat, and they’re wise to do so.

The success of Game Pass will boil down to the games that are made available on the platform. Note that the main focus of Preview is to test features and report bugs so the team can refine the experience before it launches broadly. It’ll also possibly spur developers into further monetising additional content. The company did confirm however that the Xbox Game Pass will be launching later this Spring.
