The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate was announced earlier this year, and gives subscribers access to both the Xbox Game Pass content, and Xbox Live Gold, which allows gamers to play games online, and get a selection of titles for free each month.
During their E3 press conference Microsoft announced that the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is being expanded to encompass PC as well. The PC collection of games will be added for subscribers for no additional cost per month.
The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate combines the game offerings from the collection of 100 titles for consoles, and 100 titles for PC. The games differ over each platform, making this service extremely good value for money if subscribers have access to both.
The PC version of Xbox Game Pass is now in beta, and can be joined for $1 at the time of writing, with the monthly subscription cost being $4.99. While the service is in beta for Windows 10 at the moment, it’s likely that it will leave beta shortly given how much experience with the service Microsoft has from consoles.
A huge plus to PC subscribers is the inclusion of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, which is now available for PC for the first time ever. Also included for the pass on PC at launch are: Hello Neighbour, Forza Horizon 4, Sea of Thieves, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, We Happy Few, State of Decay 2, and Ark; Survival Evolved. In addition to Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Gears 5 and Ori and the Will of the Whisps will also come to the subscription service in the future.
With this dedication to the Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft are more than doubling down on their subscription service offerings. While Sony is also working to bring more and more titles to PlayStation Now, Microsoft’s offering is undoubtedly the Netflix of games at the moment. With more and more titles likely to be added to the service in the future, the Xbox Game Pass could even begin to rival the games offered on Google’s upcoming streaming service, Stadia.
