There are over 400 games on Game Pass – when you factor in what is available for console and PC, and via the EA Play library.

How many subscribers does Xbox Game Pass have? And you can even use Xbox Cloud Gaming to play new-gen games on your Xbox One – Microsoft Flight Simulator isn't technically available for the aging console, but you can play it at Xbox Series X quality via the cloud. You can jump into multiplayer sessions with friends, without having to wait for a (supported) game to download. With Xbox Cloud Gaming, you're able to start a game on your Xbox Series X and then pick up your progress on supported mobile devices, tablets, and PCs. There are also over a hundred games in the Xbox Cloud Gaming library that support dedicated touch controls. Xbox Cloud Gaming is designed to let you play Xbox console games on (and with) the devices that you have to hand – you could, for example, play Sea of Thieves on an iPad and control your ship with a DualSense controller if you wanted to. These games will be installed on and run off of your PC or console, meaning for PC gamers, your hardware will need to be up to the task.An often overlooked bonus of an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription is your ability to stream hundreds of high-quality games anywhere with a solid internet connection. One thing we want to make very clear right away is that this is not a streaming service. There are a few differences between the two when it comes to software, game library, and price, but we’ll talk about all of that in more detail later.īesides that, Game Pass system is pretty simple: you pay the monthly subscription fee and get to download games included on the pass without any additional charges. There are actually two different versions of Game Pass: the console pass covers all Xbox One systems (and the Series X once it releases) and the PC pass works on any Windows 10 computer.

Despite that higher price, we still feel it presents the best value in gaming and have left the rest of the article as is. Update: Since publishing this article, Microsoft increased the price of Game Pass for PC to $10 a month.

We wanted to talk about one of those today: the Xbox Game Pass, a monthly subscription run by Microsoft which gives you access to around 200 quality titles for the low starting price of $5 a month. Over time though, there have been efforts made to make gaming more affordable. Gaming is an expensive hobby-consoles and gaming PCs cost hundreds of dollars and the newest releases can be upwards of $60.
