Considering that Xbox Game Pass holders can play plenty of high-profile titles such as
Vampyr, Minecraft, and
Just Cause 3 at no additional charge right now, the fact that Microsoft is adding all-new titles to the library of well over 100 playable games every month makes the offer even more attractive.
Microsoft has just officially announced that
The Golf Club 2, Prey, Monster Hunter: World, The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier, Life is Strange 2: Episode 2, and finally
Resident Evil 5 are coming to the service in April. The subscription is currently priced at $9.99 a month, but those who still haven’t tried Xbox Game Pass, can join today and get their first month for $1 – which is a steal.
Xbox Game Pass is a special subscription service from Microsoft that allows Xbox One owners check out selected Xbox titles (available through backward-compatibility) and newer games, like
Crackdown 3 and
Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Last year, the company confirmed that Microsoft Studios' in-house-produced titles will hit the service on launch day, including potential hits like
Halo: Infinite and
Gears 5.
