Xbox Game Pass Is Here And It Is Coming With Over 100 Titles To Play

Xbox Game Pass

The official dates for the Xbox Game Pass have been set with Xbox Game Pass currently available for gold members

The wait is now over for the Xbox Game Pass as if you are a Gold Member you can start your 14-day trial of the new service right now. If you aren't a gold member for some reason, it looks like June 1st will be your day to get in on the fun. Either way though, be ready to see over 100 Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles to be available to you via the Xbox Game Pass service. All free for the first two weeks and then $9.99 USD for each following month you wish to keep the service flowing. Given that it is a bit like Netflix for your Xbox titles, it makes sense that it would be about the same price for the other streaming service to get all these great games.

It does look like there will be a whole plethora of good titles to play once Xbox Game Pass goes live for all and the whole thing looks to be set up exactly like the other streaming service. Everything will be sorted via categories with curated lists based on your preferences added in as well. The only issue you may run into at that point is figuring out which title to give a try and then running out of storage space on your Xbox. Especially since all Xbox Game Pass member will have the option to ultimately purchase said title and DLC to keep forever at a discounted price. Since it looks like this could refresh just as often as Netflix, that could come in hand for those who want a huge gaming catalog.

Here's a more in-depth breakdown of how the Xbox Game Pass service will work for you. Also a nice expansion of many of the other Xbox titles that will be available once you gain access to the whole thing and for the first month. I'm guessing that we won't see the titles change again until July 1st and that is if they want to do that so soon. I guess we will see…
