The Division, Elder Scrolls Online Hit Xbox Game Pass


Xbox Game Pass is a $10/month service that allows you to play an impressive library of games on your Xbox One, and with E3 kicking off the service just got more valuable. As announced over the weekend, Microsoft has added several games including The Division, Elder Scrolls Online, and Fallout 4, with more titles on the way.

As is standard the with service, the Game Pass won’t get you any DLC for any of the titles listed and there is the likeliness that some of the games may be removed from the service at some unspecified point in the far future. Any game on the service can be purchased at a discount, including relevant DLC. If you haven’t already invested into the game on other platforms, now might be a good time to start playing.

PSA: Xbox Game Pass Is Available Now


The Xbox Game Pass doesn’t begin officially until June 1st, but Gold members can get their hands on the free 14 day trial right now. Boasting a Netflix-style subscription service, Xbox Game Pass costs $10 per month and grants access to a list of over 100 Xbox One and Xbox 360 (backwards compatible) titles. The service will operate similar to Netflix or Hulu, with games being added or taken away over time. While games are available on the service, you’ll be able to buy them at a discounted price and keep them once they are no longer part of the subscription.

When Xbox Game Pass launches, you can download and play a broad range of games in full fidelity on your Xbox One or Xbox One S console, including blockbusters like Halo 5: Guardians, NBA 2K16 and Payday 2; fun for the whole family in LEGO Batman, Banjo-Kazooie and Viva Pinata; retro and classic games like Mega Man Legacy Collection, Streets of Rage and Pac-Man Championship Edition; and of course, Xbox Game Pass has a number of great first-person and third-person shooter games, including all three titles in the amazing Bioshock franchise, Gears of War 1-3, Gears Ultimate, Perfect Dark Zero, Borderlands and more.

The list of games can be found here and includes big budget titles like Halo 5, Fable III, and everyone’s favorite: Farming Simulator ’15. Gold members should head on over to the store and choose the 14-day free trial option (it is a separate option from the 1-month subscription at the store page).
