One thing we want to make very clear right away is that this is not a streaming service. There are a few differences between the two when it comes to software, game library, and price, but we’ll talk about all of that in more detail later.īesides that, Game Pass system is pretty simple: you pay the monthly subscription fee and get to download games included on the pass without any additional charges. There are actually two different versions of Game Pass: the console pass covers all Xbox One systems (and the Series X once it releases) and the PC pass works on any Windows 10 computer. Despite that higher price, we still feel it presents the best value in gaming and have left the rest of the article as is. Update: Since publishing this article, Microsoft increased the price of Game Pass for PC to $10 a month. We wanted to talk about one of those today: the Xbox Game Pass, a monthly subscription run by Microsoft which gives you access to around 200 quality titles for the low starting price of $5 a month. Over time though, there have been efforts made to make gaming more affordable. You also get access to Xbox's Cloud Gaming service to stream games on mobile devices, PC and Xbox consoles, EA Play and Xbox Live Gold.Gaming is an expensive hobby-consoles and gaming PCs cost hundreds of dollars and the newest releases can be upwards of $60. It is also available as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which includes over 400 Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and original Xbox games. The PC version of the service is exclusive to gamers running Windows 10 or Windows 11. You just need to download the ones on offer and play as much as you like - as if you bought the game outright yourself. The list of games is curated and updated each month, with some added and some less popular titles being removed. PC Game Pass is a monthly subscription service that offers a library of full games to download and play on your machine without any further fees. Here then is everything you need to know about PC Game Pass. And, if you own a PC as well as an Xbox, you can get both, along with Cloud Gaming and other benefits, for a single monthly payment too.

Thankfully, PC gamers also have their own version - PC Game Pass.
