Xbox Game Pass

Microsoft will be introducing a change to its subscription services this September, with a new “Core” tier for Xbox Game Pass which gives multiplayer access and a library of almost 30 of the most popular Game Pass titles — including Forza Horizon 4.

The annual summer rumor mill is up and running once again, with the whispers this time suggesting that Microsoft may be on the verge of releasing an Xbox streaming device within the next calendar year.

Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming service is now available to the Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles, allowing players to pick up and play the latest titles with no installation necessary.

Xbox console players who subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will have an expanded experience later this year, as Microsoft brings the full cloud gaming platform to Xbox One and Xbox Series devices, bringing the consoles in line with PC and mobile players.

A selection of racing games from UK developer Codemasters is now available for no additional charge on the EA Play service.

If you’re an Xbox gamer and haven’t decided on whether to take the plunge on Assetto Corsa or not yet, there’s some good news. The racing sim from Kunos Simulazioni is now available as part of Xbox Game Pass.

The Xbox Game Pass subscription service continues to grow, and next month sees the addition of a fan favorite. With DiRT Rally 2.0 leaving the service on October 1, it begs the question: what’s going to take its place for sim racers? Now there’s an answer, Forza Motorsport 7.

After two years of preparation, Microsoft’s xCloud streaming service is now officially available. In an official news post, Microsoft have also revealed details of the launch title lineup.

Microsoft’s push to bring its Xbox services to the masses is taking another step forward. Almost two years after first announcing it, the xCloud streaming service has begun a limited rollout to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

There’s a new way to play Codemaster’s DiRT Rally 2.0. No, we’re not talking about VR — that’s available on PC — but through the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.

In 2017, Microsoft announced a new service for console gamers, the Xbox Game Pass. Subscribers would have access to a library of over 100 games from first- and third-party developers, all for $10 per month.

After a leak earlier this week, Microsoft has officially announced the disc-drive-free Xbox One S. It also took the opportunity to confirm Game Pass Ultimate, which bundles both Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass into one cheaper monthly subscription.

Ever since Microsoft introduced Game Pass in 2017, we’ve wondered when it would be paired up with the Xbox Live subscription. Now it sounds like the bundle deal will soon be an option for Xbox gamers.

Microsoft is taking a page from the mobile phone industry. For a set monthly price, gamers will be able to pick up a new Xbox console, plus the Xbox Live and Game Pass services. And at the end of the 24-month period, they own the console.

Xbox gamers looking for some rallying action this summer are in luck. Codemasters has announced DiRT 4 is coming to Xbox Game Pass, meaning subscribers will get to add it to their collections on July 1.

Microsoft made waves earlier this week when it announced that all future first-party games will be available on its Xbox Game Pass subscription starting on release day.

Earlier this month, Microsoft announced a new feature set to debut later this spring for Xbox One players: the Xbox Game Pass. Functioning similarly to Netflix, the Game Pass will cost $10 USD per month.
