Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Speaking on Microsoft's FY19 Q1 earnings call, the firm discussed its increased cross-platform presence with the Xbox brand. Now, following the success of Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One's Netflix-style subscription service for games, Nadella announced plans to expand to PC.

Xbob42 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I'll just copy and paste my Discord response. Quote ...? Game Pass has been on PC for months and months I just read the entirety of the article and it clarified nothing Unless they somehow plan to unify the library, which would be something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Technically what's on PC isn't "Game Pass" - it's a few "Play Anywhere" titles under the "Xbox Game Pass". Presumably this will be "Windows Game Pass". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they are gonna add more PC games to play in game pass. Like Wade said right now the only game pass games that work on PC happen to be play anywhere games. I think that's just by chance. Might be more games that work for PC and not for Xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 There's a lot more competition on PC. Games Pass will go up against deep discounts, bundles, DRM-free options and subscribe-to-own services. It's good to hear they're getting more serious about it. But I hate the idea of my 'library' being tethered to a recurring subscription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Would you need a separate Gamepass account for consoles and P.C.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not - I'd imagine it would be your usual Microsoft account. If you sign-in on Xbox, you access Xbox Game Pass; if you sign-in on PC, you access Windows Game Pass.

If you sign-in on Xbox, you access Xbox Game Pass; if you sign-in on PC, you access Windows Game Pass. It would be dumb to have you have 2 game pass subscriptions. It should just work across both platforms like it does now with the play anywhere. Worse case scenario they could have 2 tiers. $9.99 Xbox with play anywhere games and $14.99 with PC only games included. But they would need to really step up by including some really good PC games in there. As is everything on PC can be had for dollars cuz of steam sales and what not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 As someone who has 0 investment in PC gaming, I'd be pretty excited for a PC Game Pass. Unless it's on console, I haven't played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool but at same time I want the older halo games more than Halo 6, after the snorefest that Halo 5 was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
