As we revealed in an article last year, Microsoft’s Phil Spencer announced his intentions to migrate the widely-beloved Game Pass to Windows 10 users, which has been the privilege of Xbox Players until now. It seems the service is about to launch in beta form soon, and Microsoft has finally revealed the pricing for early adopters.
It has been announced that the service will set you back roughly the equivalent of $4.99 per month for the basic package. For your fiver, you will get access to a collection of seven confirmed games, with three upcoming games also announced, namely Gears 5, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and The Master Chief Collection for PC.
According to the article published by Microsoft, the seven games you will definitely have access to include:
- Hello Neighbour
- Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
- State of Decay
- Sea of Thieves
- We Happy Few
- Forza Horizon 4
- Ark: Survival Evolved

Pieter hails all the way from the tip of southern Africa and suffers from serious PC technophilia. Therapists say it is incurable. Now he has to remind himself constantly that gaming doesn’t count as a religion even if DRM is the devil. Thankfully, writing reviews sometimes helps with the worst symptoms.
I do not know if pc gamers will pay for this service when they have other options…
I would rather pay $5 to play Halo and other microsoft games rather than $60.
For a fact they will, take a look at Origin Premier . The “other options” are piracy or waiting 3 years for a better price.
5 dollars a month play forza 4 cancel subscription,done
It’s apparently $10.
what are you talking about it? This is about games for the PC
dude Origin offers the same service since like 2 years ago and PC players use it
Ignore him he’s a sad little troll. I use it on XB because I don’t want to rebuy all the same games I own on PC already. I’ll use it on PC, too, and I guarantee I own more PC games than s_fnx has ever heard of. It’s an insanely good value.
Ignore this moron. Move along.
hmmm. “Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice” was 40$ new. Has been 20$ for a like the last year. And is free right now from humble.
no way to pay for a year and get a discount? 100$ done and done for MCC and Gears 5.
Or just buy Hellblade for $12 from humble if it’s literally the only game you somehow are interested in. You don’t keep the game pass games. It requires an active subscription to play them. So you’d be spending $100 for no reason after the year is over.
As a subscriber, I feel like this is lost on PC because there’s no way I don’t own every game they’re going to add to game pass, except the brand new releases. The only reason I sub in the first place is so I can also play those games on Xbox without spending TWICE the money on games. Just looking at the games in the pic I already have them.
Also it seems kind of hilarious to say to PC gamers “over 100 games”. Um, yea? So? 100? I have thousands. Even on PS4 and XB I have hundreds and I literally never use them for anything except TV/movies.
But XBGP is worth it just to get access day 1 to all the new exclusives. Or for example Exodus – now I don’t have to buy it from MS or Epic, I can just play it and move along with my sub.
