Play Xbox games with this subscription service

Xbox Game Pass for PC is a video game service that enables you to purchase and access games from the Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Studios. Offered by Microsoft, this is a subscription plan that you can avail using the Xbox Beta app. Xbox Game Pass for PC requires the latest update of Windows 10 and is mainly for that operating system version. You can get exclusive access to discounts and games when they premiere.

Also for console play

Similar to subscription plans like Origin Access and Uplay+, Xbox Game Pass for PC allows unlimited access to over 100 games for PC. It offers a monthly price to retain your membership, giving you great deals while you shop and play for games. Xbox Game Studios and ID@Xbox feature expansive libraries of PC-first games and all-new titles that members can buy the moment they launch.

Since Xbox Game Pass pretty much uses Xbox Beta as its platform, you can expect the app’s features to be improved by this subscription plan, as it lets you see exclusive titles that you can only get if you’ve availed the plan. You can easily browse and play, connect with friends online, and find discounts on base games, DLCs, and add-ons. Upgrading to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes Xbox Live Gold.

It’s easy to get this subscription plan. Simply install Xbox Beta, which is free. You’ll have to install the latest Windows 10 update—and the installer will prompt for that. After setting up, you can purchase Xbox Game Pass for PC. It has three versions: PC, Console, and Ultimate—which combines the first two’s perks. You can cancel at any time. Unfortunately, this does not support third-party stores such as Steam.

Only on its app

Xbox Game Pass for PC is the very subscription service you will need to access games from Xbox and Microsoft. It offers a generous platter of three plans for your platform of choice and has cool membership perks available. However, you can’t enjoy it without the Xbox Beta app installed and it won’t allow for any other launcher to run your purchased games. Nevertheless, it’s what you need for Xbox PC games.
