Microsoft is offering a pretty nice deal on the Xbox Game Pass subscription service right now. For the next two weeks, you can get a 3-month subscription to the program for only $10. That is a very good deal, as $10 is usually the price for just one month.
Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft’s recently introduced “Netflix for games”-like service where you pay a monthly fee for access to a big library of games that you can play as much as you want so long as your subscription stays active. Unlike Netflix or Sony’s PlayStation Now, Xbox Game Pass is not a streaming service; you need to download games to play them.
There are more than 100 titles in the Xbox Game Pass library currently, spread across Xbox One, Xbox 360, and original Xbox. All of Microsoft’s first-party games are now launching into the catalog, so that means you can play relatively new releases like Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2. The catalog also includes the entire Gears of War franchise, along with titles like Dead Rising 3, Fallout 4, Halo 5, Halo Wars 2, Limbo, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Metro: Last Light Redux, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Rocket League, The Division, Wasteland 2, and many, many more.
Check out GameSpot’s rundown of all the Xbox Game Pass titles here. More games are added on a monthly basis, while some are removed for various reasons. Looking ahead, titles like Gears 5 and Halo Infinite will launch into Xbox Game Pass for no extra cost.
