PC Game Pass price, games list and all you need to know

(Pocket-lint) – Xbox Game Pass has been massively successful since its launch several years ago. Offering 100s of Xbox games to download and play on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S for one monthly fee, it’s a no-brainer for most console owners. Thankfully, PC gamers also have their own version – the newly renamed PC Game Pass.

And, if you own a PC as well as an Xbox, you can get both, along with Cloud Gaming and other benefits, for a single monthly payment too. Here then is everything you need to know about PC Game Pass.

Best PS4 games 2022: All the PlayStation 4 titles every gamer should play By Max Freeman-Mills . 11 May 2022

What is PC Game Pass?

PC Game Pass is a monthly subscription service that offers a library of full games to download and play on your machine without any further fees. The list of games is curated and updated each month, with some added and some less popular titles being removed.

You just need to download the ones on offer and play as much as you like – as if you bought the game outright yourself. The PC version of the service is exclusive to gamers running Windows 10 or Windows 11. It is also available as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which includes over 300 Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and original Xbox games.

You also get access to Xbox’s Cloud Gaming service to stream games on mobile devices, PC and Xbox consoles, EA Play and Xbox Live Gold.

How much does PC Game Pass cost?

In the UK, PC Game Pass costs GBP7.99 per month. It is £9.99 per month in the US. New subscribers can get the first three months for just GBP1 / £1.

If you also own an Xbox console or want to play cloud games on your mobile device, you might find that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a much better deal. It costs GBP10.99 per month in the UK, £14.99 per month in the US.
