Happy Blue Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Xbox Game Pass Microsoft has launched Xbox Game Pass, a new subscription service that gives you access to more than 100 games to play on your Xbox One for one monthly fee. And unlike PlayStation Now, it isn't a cloud service so you don't have to rely on your own broadband speeds to play. Well, not to stream anyway, because you'll still need to download the games. However, when downloaded, you have complete access to a game as long as you continue to pay the monthly fee. We've put together a handy guide on Xbox Game Pass, with details such as price, availability and every game currently on the platform. Hopefully it will give you everything you need to know about it. What is Xbox Game Pass? Xbox Game Pass is a monthly subscription service that provides access to over 100 games, curated by the Xbox team. You can download and play them as often as you like, as long as you continue to pay the monthly fee. Some of them might also become unavailable as new titles are added, but you also have the option of buying any of the collection outright at special, member-exclusive prices. Xbox One and Xbox 360 games are part of the line-up, the latter through backwards compatibility, and considering 2K, Capcom, Warner Bros and Microsoft's own studio are among the publishers and developers signed up, there are plenty of top titles to choose from. How Xbox One backwards compatibility works: The Xbox 360 games list and more It is available to Xbox One and Xbox One S owners.

If you've got Xbox live, you're getting 4-5 games a month free on Xbox games with gold. 2 for the Xbox One, 2 for backwards compatible titles, sometimes a random free game as well. All of them work for as long as your subscription works. This is more of an extra service, like a Netflix for games basically.
