Once activated, the player gains access to over 100 games to download to their Xbox console, with new games being added each month. Subscribers can even opt to purchase the game outright, with a special discount typically applied on top of it. The service has also seen a lot of high profile games added in the past couple of weeks from Mortal Kombat X to Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice to the first wave of Winter of Arcade indie titles like Ashen and Below as well.

Originally announced two years ago, the Game Pass service has continued to evolve and grow over the past couple of years. With an introductory offer of just $1 for the first month and a rapidly expanding roster of games available, Xbox Game Pass is a fantastic deal for Xbox fans. It’s clear that the service is very important to Microsoft in general, as the software giant dedicated a lot of time during the X018 event last month in Mexico City to reveal new information and games such as PUBG and the Winter of Arcade titles arriving to the service before the end of 2018.
