Just a few hours ago, Microsoft made public its new video game service, a service that will consist of offering any video game for a monthly fee. In this case we are talking about $ 10 a month.
Xbox Game Pass is the name of this service that will try to compete with Steam or PlayStation Now, especially the latter. Xbox Game Pass will not be like other services that currently exist as the user will be able to play any video game on the service at any time and anywhere, without depending on the Internet connection.
The convergence of Microsoft and the various updates that have occurred during these months allows Xbox users to be able to through this service can play on any computer with Windows 10 or any Xbox, the chosen video game without needing a powerful internet connection to stream.
Xbox Game Pass does not use streaming to play titles on our Xbox One
Although this option will also be valid for Xbox Game Pass users. The price of this service will be $ 10 per month, compared to the $ 20 per month that Sony charges for its PlayStation Now and it will have nothing to do with other Microsoft or Xbox services, that is, Xbox Gold discounts or gift cards will not apply.
The big drawback of Xbox Game Pass is its catalog. A catalog of only 100 titles compared to the 450 titles that PlayStation Now currently has or the thousands of titles on Steam. In any case, Microsoft takes this into account and will not offer all 100 titles at once but will play with them. Thus, users will have a certain number of titles each week that will be rotated with others to appear to have a large catalog, despite the fact that with the months such number will grow.
Xbox Game Pass will be available to users in the next few days, something interesting for the most gamers and for those who want to be playing with their Xbox One during the next vacation.
