[Dark_Voyager]

Game Pass amazing. All for $10. Sony should axe PS Now and go back to the drawing board.

Native > streaming.

[timotim]

Good stuff, isn't it! Enjoy your time with Game Pass and welcome to Xbox...hopefully ill see you online in a few of these games...

[Destiny1080]

just use the 14 day free trial and save your ten bucks

[_-EDMIX-_]

Does a free trial actually let you complete a full game?

I'm just asking out of curiosity I have no plans to ever rent my games.

[timotim]

🤣🤣🤣The hater has been spotted! While Microsoft does have a 14 day free trail for GP...do you think games like SoT, RotTR, Lucky's Tale, Gears 4, and Halo Wars 2 can be completed in 14 days???

I can understand gamers taking advantage of the 14 day trial...but to go as far as encouraging gamers not to pay for the service is a bit much haha. There are some good games there. How bout you just let him see for himself...

[sinspirit]

@timotim

Yes. You can actually beat all of those in 14 days.

[ZeroX9876]

Can you activate the trial with Paypal? done it with many services by creating multiples paypal account to profit of multiples trials ;) Didn't pay for spotify for over a year of free trials, would gladly do the same for this.

[timotim]

@sinspirit

LOL...the fact that Sea of Thieves is a online multplayer game only, with constant new items, quests and bosses means that is impossible haha. And then youre totally dismissing the MP componet in titles like Gears 4 and Halo Wars 2...but once you get past those, theirs about another 110 titles to check off the list haha.

[sinspirit]

@timotim

Obviously, no one is talking about the unbeatable. You can't truly "beat" these types of online multiplayer. Try being less" captain obvious" when attempting to argue. Some things don't have to be said to be understood. You miss the point in an arrogant attempt to spew biased talk.

Who's talking about any titles other than the ones mentioned in the article? Oh, just you.

[MK24ever]

It's for Xbox consoles only I think.

[MK24ever]

Where you saw it was coming to PC? That would be VERY interesting, it would shake the PC gaming scenario a bit, maybe Steam would consider something similar, that would be a fantastic scenario to see.

[Razzer]

Games in Game Pass that are also Play Anywhere are available on Windows 10 PCs.

https://wccftech.com/xbox-g...

So all upcoming MS games and existing games like Gears Of War 4 and Recore are available through the Game Pass subscription.

[MK24ever]

Well, I guess it's just a matter of trying then :)
I'll see if I can register the Game Pass without having a Xbox One in the first place.

[Razzer]

[Obscure_Observer]

@Cyborgg

Unfortunally you can´t. Since Game Pass is not avaliable on PC, you can only play first party games via Play Anywhere. You can´t play most third party games. Lol.

[maybelovehate]

Yep, which is unfortunate. Would be hard to work around. Maybe they could do it with a Streaming Service like PSNOW although then you just get a bad experience.

[Razzer]

"Since Game Pass is not avaliable on PC"

False statement. It is available on Windows 10 and will give you access to the Play Anywhere titles which will include all new MS published games.

[Obscure_Observer]

@Razzer

"False statement. It is available on Windows 10 and will give you access to the Play Anywhere titles which will include all new MS published games."

Where´s the link? Since Windows PC gamers CAN´T have access to ALL of Game Pass content like Xbox gamers do, how Game Pass is avaliable on PC again? Yes, Windows PC gamers can pay the same 10 dollars for a Game Pass subscription to only have access to a few titles! Play Anywhere titles! Nothing else! To say you can have access to a few Play Anywhere titles avaliable on Game Pass, doesn´t mean that the service is avaliable on PC.

You can´t tell your friends that Game Pass is avaliable for Windows PC gamers, then say next that they wouldn´t be able to play Rise of the Tomb Rider via Game Pass subscription! THAT would be false statement and a lie!

[CarlDechance]

But PC users are going to get access to all the new Microsoft games with Game Pass. How is it not available on PC?

[Obscure_Observer]

@CarlDechance

Because it´s not! You can´t access most third party games, 360 games, and soon, og Xbox games. PC gamers pay the same 10 dolars as Xbox One owners to get a fraction of Game Pass content. That´s why Microsoft (for all i know) is not advertising Game Pass on PC.

You´re subscribing for an Xbox One service! Don´t belive me? Try and reach Microsoft to complain on why you´re (as a Windows PC users) spending money on a subcription based service which doesn´t allow you to play State of Decay or Sunset Overdrive. Good luck!

[CarlDechance]

But if I subscribe and go to play State of Decay 2 when it comes out then I will be able to. I get what you are saying. You can’t get to all the stuff like on Xbox. But Game Pass is at least partially available on PC from what MS has said.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

You won’t finish them all in a month.

[BiggerBoss]

Only a few are even worth finishing.

[lxeasy]

Rise of The Tomb Raider is simply amazing. Love that game.

[combatcash]

It really is great! Played it on pro, I can finally try it on the X. I'm curious to see the difference.

[Belinker300]

About 50p in resolution

[timotim]

It looks amazing on my 4k OLED in native 4k mode...a real visual treat.

[Kribwalker]

the pro was mostly just a resolution bump, apparently the X version is the best version, there was talk it was better then the PC version in a lot of aspects

[TheGadgetGod]

Super happy about this announcement :) :)

[Obscure_Observer]

@TheGadgetGod

"Super happy about this announcement :) :)"

Yeah, me too! Square Enix is onboard! Hopefully, Hitman and FFXV will be avaliable on Game Pass soon! :)

[CarlDechance]

SE doesn’t own Hitman anymore. IO went independent and took the Hitman franchise with them.

[Gazondaily]

Xbox Game Pass is just killing it. It's almost a mandatory purchase. Such a massively pro consumer option at that price. I expect that price to go up soon but as it stands, that's massive value for money.

Well done MS

[lxeasy]

I agree with almost everything you said. I do not think the price will go up anytime soon. It was years before XBL price went Game pass is still in its early years

[Gazondaily]

Yeah here's hoping it doesn't. Getting more and more hyped for this

[343_Guilty_Spark]

It will go up because it’s not a sustainable price. $60 a year is like an introductory price

[CarlDechance]

I could see MS raising the price next year, but only a couple of dollars. Right now it is a steal though

[Wasabi]

I agree, I feel like I'm getting My money's worth from Gamepass.

Its costs the same as couple of cups of Starbucks coffee in the UK so I can't really complain.

[Razzer]

I doubt the price is going to go up anytime "soon". It just launched. I agree it is an awesome value.

[King_Lothric]

Killing it? Care to provide marketing data about that? Last time I checked, Sony and Nintendo are the ones killing it in the market.

[Gazondaily]

Holy....what on EARTH does this have to do with Sony and Nintendo?

You want marketing data to explain why Game Pass is killing it with grrat offerings in its service??

[PhoenixUp]

That was fast for Super Lucky’s Tale

[timotim]

What do you mean by fast? It's not about sales or time...I mean, Sea of Thieves will be there on day one...you can't get much faster than that. It's about Microsoft providing games that will bring in new subs...giving the gamer value for there $10 a month.

[combatcash]

Signing up in March can't wait.

[PhoenixUp]

Because Forza 7 isn’t on the service yet and Super Lucky’s Tale came out after that game.

I would’ve expected the former to come sooner to this service than the latter.

[itsmebryan]

Good point.

[ZeroX9876]

aahhh good point!
I would expect the game to come out eventually. Is Forza Horizon 3 on the service yet? that would be epic!

[timotim]

Not every Microsoft game is on the service yet...and nor is it suppose to be. Again, its about providing gamers with value...there is already about 115-120 games on the service right now...flooding the service with 200+ games is counter productive. They want to add games and take games away as time goes on so the gamer feels as if he/she is getting a good amount of games for their money each month.

[Razzer]

Super Lucky’s Tale wasn’t exactly well-received so it shouldn’t be a surprise considering it is doubtful it sold well.

[ZeroX9876]

@PhoenixUp
Other way around! take them a while before adding it! Every first party games being on the service at launch date is one hell of an epic feature.
But I do understand what you "really" meant by that post ;)

[babadivad]

Is Quantum Break on there?

[Razzer]

No

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...

[babadivad]

@Razzer

Missed opportunity

[Rimeskeem]

This works on PC right?

[Gaming4Life1981]

You can play all first party and play anywhere titles thru game pass on pc. Sea Of thieves and super Lucky's tale will work on pc but the others wont.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Well basically Microsoft is now multi-platform so anything you're seeing on Xbox are going to see on PC going forward sort of like EA or Activision or any other multi-platform publisher

[Shmeidi]

Lol, no.

[Gazondaily]

Lmfao!! 😂😂

[_-EDMIX-_]

multi-platform means more then 1.

XONE games also coming out on PC, means MS indeed makes multi-platform games. Not really sure why this base of users still has a hard time struggling with that.

smh.

[Gazondaily]

Lol your PM to me (after which I knew you blocked me 😂) is amazing....truly just brilliant 😂 THAT pm is proof of how good Xbox Game Pass is😁

[_-EDMIX-_]

Who said game pass is bad? I agree with it I think it's a great program. My comment has nothing to do with Game Pass and everything to do with Microsoft being a multi-platform publisher as to why I could purchase their games on PC while never actually buying an Xbox

😎

[Wasabi]

@_-EDMIX-_

Blah, Blah, Multi-platform, Blah, Exclusives, Blah, Blah, Sony, Blah, Blah, PC Gamer, Blah ....

Change the record pal, This one is getting boring....

[_-EDMIX-_]

@Shaggy- oh I know and that's completely understandable.

I know that there's going to be a bunch of games that was on 360 that don't have PC versions , that would not work on Game. What I mean is all the content going forward releasing on PC and Xbox One

[Razzer]

Multiplatform like EA or Activision? No, that is not accurate at all. MS is publishing their games on their own platforms, not others. EA and Activision don't have their own platform so that comparison just doesn't make sense. Bottom line is that to play these Game Pass games you have to either have an Xbox or a Windows 10 PC with a MS account for the Windows Store. Comparing MS to EA or Activision is just incorrect.

[ZeroX9876]

MS did mention that they're not against the idea of bringing 360 titles to PC. Can't say anything about past titles, but going forward all first party games from MS will be on PC. Plus on game pass!
Why would Xbox owners don't like this when Windows is an MS platform? (way bigger and more important also!)
Extra revenue for MS to invest in more games. Don't know why some in the comments are against it.

[_-EDMIX-_]

@zero- agreed ,this really helps Microsoft.

I think it's a big Wayne win but lots of people hate hearing that Microsoft is releasing games on PC.

Like....a lot.

I don't know if it's a mixture of buyer's remorse, strange denial on this not really sure. Keep in mind that this is something the community denied for a very long time before Microsoft began confirming it so I think a lot of users on here sort of feel embarrassed ,because they kept saying for a long time it wasn't going to happen only for the company to continue to confirm it will continue moving forward.

[timotim]

If thats your logic then both Sony and Nintendo is also multiplatform haha. Thats like saying Sony also has Vita and Nintento also has DS that they publish games to, so they are also multiplatform...

Windows 10 is one of Microsoft's own platforms...its the same OS that is running in Xbox One...a bit of a stretch to call this multiplatform in the same vein as EA or Activision.

[Obscure_Observer]

@_-EDMIX-_

If you see PS4/Vita the same way you see Windows 10 PC/Xbox One, then yes, it´s multi-platform. ;)

[Vames]

Technically, yes. But consider that both the PC and Xbox are powered by Windows, so in a sense, they are the same platform.

[TheOttomatic91]

Only one that interests me is ROTR and I’ve already got it

[ApexWolf22]

Making winter in the US the best time of the year to have a subsciption. Gamepass from Nov-March $40 and you'll be quite busy while world around you looks like Ice Age. We had a hell of a winter in the northeast.

[Profchaos]

Yeah I was waiting for rise pumped

[Kumakai]

Game pass is turning out to be pretty decent.

[Shmeidi]

Gamepass is getting at least 1 more sub!

[nevin1]

Wait, will gamepass have an effect on games with gold?

[_-EDMIX-_]

I don't know but I think it would be cool if they gave people who were gold members a discount.

[ILostMyMind]

It already has.

[mark_parch]

I'll be signing up march 20th for sea of thieves and sticking around for state of decay 2. only £4 a month as I'm game sharing with a friend. absolutely amazing value for money

[ZeroX9876]

would I be able to share with a friend via one on PC and one on Xbox?
I don't have an X1, but I know a friend who has one. I would gladly chip in with him to get the subscription!

[mark_parch]

I'm not 100% sure bro but I think so. you should both have a 14 day free trial so try with that

[welly300]

Its to good to be true.. ps now must be looking over the fence and thinking WTF 😂 i dont expect it to stay at this price for long but loving at the mo.

[ZeroX9876]

If PS Now would let you download the games and run them directly on your hardware, the price would probably be cheaper. Game Pass will put some pressure on Sony to do the same hopefully.

[timotim]

PS Now's problem is that its streaming ONLY, not its price point, which could also use some rethinking. Its just not a good option for many people. Its other major problem is its library. Sony doesnt want to support it with any new titles...its become a way to pay for BC...the only current gen titles on the service is Killzone which came out 5 years ago haha.

[Razzer]

Folks are better off just holding on to their PS3 rather than subscribe to PS Now. What is it? $20 a month? The whole thing was ill-conceived from the start. Game Pass doesn't have the quantity of games as PS Now, but in every other way it is just better.

[UnholyLight]

I am seriously so hyped up for Sea of Thieves. Its been a while since a game has gotten me this excited. As someone who was lucky enough to play the closed alpha in multiple stages, multiple invites between then and the closed beta, and the scale test.....just wow. It's really amazing how things can happen that make for a unique experience like sailing alone and then getting caught up in a 1v1 battle only to have 2 more ships roll up and the fight gets wild. This game just has so much promise and apparently these play tests were just a sampler/test environment.....type version of the game not the actual game itself as there will be so much more in it on the final release. Really hope this game lives up to the hype and the high expectations I know it has set for me.

To get it with game pass just makes the deal that much sweeter!

[Tazzy]

No State of Decay 2?? Not bad and for $10 you're getting some descent games I'd like to see some more original Xbox classics with the Pass though I liked NFL Fever.

[Razzer]

State of Decay 2 isn't out yet, but it will be on Game Pass day one.
