Source: Hardware Luxx added 07th Jan 2021
Initially only a niche product, cloud gaming services are becoming increasingly popular. Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass is no exception. The monthly subscription now includes over 100 games and only in January four new titles are added. Since the end 2020 EA Play has already been included in the basic version of the subscription. This additional service gives players access to older EA games such as Mass Effect Andromeda, Titanfall 2 or Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. However, it should be noted that not every game from the Xbox version of the game streaming service comes automatically to the PC. In the following there is therefore a list of all currently available titles for desktop PCs.
The basic subscription model currently costs 10 euros per month. In addition to access to the game library, the package also includes a discount when buying games in the Windows Store. The subscription can also be canceled on a monthly basis. Players who want to use Xbox Game Pass on both PC and their Xbox console should consider subscribing to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, as both platforms are included. The extended model costs 13 euros per month and also grants access to some Android and mobile device games. In addition, it is possible for users to stream games directly from the cloud to the tablet or smartphone of their choice.
Even if this function is currently reserved primarily for Android devices, Microsoft has already indicated that a browser integration on iOS devices is also planned.
In January 2020 the following games take place their way into the Xbox Game Pass:
- Injustice 2
- What Remains of Edith Finch
- Neoverse
- YIIK: A Postmodern RPG
