Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft’s subscription service for Xbox One owners. It’s designed to be like a “Netflix for games,” where you pay a simple monthly rate and get access to loads of games for download. It’s not to be confused with the Xbox Live Gold membership, which gives users a selection of free games each month.
There was a huge surge in popularity and profile for Xbox Game Pass in 2018, mainly due to Microsoft unveiling a strategy that puts brand new games on the service. Sea of Thieves was the first example of this, followed by State of Decay 2. Crackdown 3 launched on Feb. 15.

Membership to Xbox Game Pass will set you back $9.99 per month, although the official Microsoft website will currently sell you the first month for just $1. Amazon is currently selling 3 months for $25, as well. Game Pass is also now available on PC for the same price (following the end of a limited-time promotion).
