Xbox game fans might soon experience this on PC. The Xbox Game Pass is set to come to PC, with some minor changes. The pass will allow users to play over 100 games for a fixed price.
In the run-up to E3 2019, some announcements regarding games and various services will be released, which gamers can look forward to soon.
The company Microsoft has suddenly discovered its love for PC gamers and wants to be more open in general.
A goodie that Microsoft is distributing is the “Xbox Game Pass,” which will soon also be available on PC.
Xbox Game Pass is “Flat-rate Gaming”
What is the Xbox Game Pass? With the Xbox Game Pass, you subscribe, which means you pay a monthly fee. In return, you have a large game library to choose from and can play the included games without restrictions as long as you maintain the subscription.
This is referred to as a “flat-rate” offering because the price remains the same regardless of how intensively you use the subscription.
What games are available? The exact games that will be available are not known yet. However, it is clear that publishers like Bethesda, Sega, Paradox, Devolver, and Deep Silver will participate in the program.
Overall, the Xbox Game Pass on PC is expected to launch with “more than 100 high-quality PC games from over 75 content partners.”
It is clear that Microsoft’s own games will definitely be included in the pass and will be available at the release of each game.
More information about the game offerings will be available at E3 next week.
On the Xbox One, the “Xbox Game Pass” includes games like Minecraft, The Banner Saga, Wolfenstein 2, Monster Hunter World, Fallout 4, Black Desert, Gears of War 4, Sea of Thieves, Halo 5: Guardians, PUBG, ARK Survival Evolved, and many more.
Name causes confusion: Although the offer is called “Xbox Game Pass,” the PC variant is primarily about PC games, which has already caused some confusion.
The Game Pass is specifically aimed at the needs of PC gamers and the associated developers.
Microsoft opens up to Steam: It has also been announced that Microsoft plans to offer more of its games on Steam in the future. Players should have the choice of where to buy their games, Microsoft states.
So far, many games were only available through their in-house shop, which has not been widely accepted by many gamers.
Are you already excited about the Xbox Game Pass? Or do such “subscription models” for gaming not work for you?
