Microsoft has officially announced their third update to the Xbox Game Pass list, which launched three months back at the start of June. The Netflix-style subscription service launched with 100+ Games featuring a collection of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games playable thanks to Microsoft’s Xbox One backwards compatibility feature – all for £7.99 per month.
September has been no different in adding to the collection with seven more excellent games. This includes ReCore: Definitive Edition, Metro: Last Light Redux, 10 Second Ninja X, Hue, The Bridge and backwards compatible Xbox 360 games, Fable 2
and Garou Mark of the Wolves.
When Microsoft revealed the new service they said it was their way of “saying thank you to our valued Gold members for their continued support.”
The service differs from Sony’s PlayStation Now in that games are downloaded to the console, rather than streamed, but once a Game Pass subscription lapses, all downloaded games will no longer be playable. However, as an added benefit, Microsoft revealed that Xbox Game Pass members can also purchase all Xbox One games in the catalogue – and related add-ons – at an exclusive discount to make them a permanent part of their Xbox library.
