I’ve discovered more games than ever as a result of the ease of access afforded by Xbox Game Pass and its PC counterpart, and the revolving library keeps the curation quality high without cannibalizing retail sales for developers. For all of these games, potentially thousands of dollars’ worth of retail price value, it’s a truly incredible proposition that I wish I had access to as a youngster. The PC library costs $10 per month, and the full PC, console, and cloud library costs just $15 per month. Sadly a lot of these require an Xbox controller to play, since they’re running on Xbox hardware, but it’s a side effect of those cloud games running on Xbox console hardware. This includes another 300 or so titles of various shapes and sizes, and the cloud-gaming aspect of it can be a boon for lower-power PCs, or even ARM devices like the Surface Pro X.

If you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you also get access to the cloud gaming library direct from the Xbox app on Windows 10 or 11. There are some truly great indie titles in there as well that aren’t available on Xbox Game Pass, such as Into the Breach, and some classic PC titles like Hexen.


As noted above, there are over 400 games in the service, including major titles from EA, Microsoft, Bethesda, and various others. Available on Samsung 2022 smart TVs.The obvious big benefit of PC Game Pass is the sheer value. Requires high-speed internet connection (ISP fees apply).
