Microsoft is finally taking a good step for the sake of its faithful gamers. The Xbox Game Pass announced previous days ago will bring wide range of exciting games at a much affordable price.
Speaking to Polygon, the company's representative said that the idea of Xbox Game Pass is to provide an enjoyable and seamless experience as players can download full titles directly on their console.
The maker announced a handful list of games, including "Halo 5: Guardians" and "SoulCalibur II", "Lego Batman", and "Gears of War: Ultimate Edition" - with some Xbox 360 backwards compatible games. Currently, there are 10 titles in the official unveiling and 100 more to come soon. As long as a player remains subscribed, the games are accessible through the pass. However, Xbox Game Pass is limited for Xbox One and Windows 10 users only.
Netflix and Spotify have adopted such service system and it works by bringing new shows into the service. Thus, the Xbox Game Pass is expected to have more awesome titles included in the list, especially the new ones. VG247 has learned that Microsoft promised a regular cycle of games for each month with 'game in and out' system.
The membership has limited benefits at the moment but it is possible that Microsoft will add more surprises in the near future. It is safe to assume that Microsoft is looking for as much feedbacks from the gaming community in term of the service benefits.
Yes, Xbox home sharing policies apply to Xbox Game Pass, just as they do with Xbox Live Gold! https://t.co/EaTYAVXaEg
