Xbox Game Pass goes live June 1st, over 100 games at launch (free 14d trial, live now for gold memb)

[343N]

[quote]The Netflix like Xbox Game Pass is now live via Early Access for Gold Members, with a general release following June 1 when everyone can get involved.

Starting today Xbox Live Gold members can start a 14-day free trial to try out the service before signing up for $9.99/£7.99 a month. I spoke to Xbox CMO Mike Nichols to find out exactly what you're getting for the money.

There's over 100 games available.

As you'd hope with 100 Xbox One and backward compatible Xbox 360 games on offer, there's a lot of options. There's big name stuff like Halo 5, all three Bioshocks, Gears of War 1-3, Gears Ultimate, NBA 2K16, XCOM: Enemy Within, Saints Row IV: Re-Elected, Mad Max, and Payday 2.

More family friendly things include Banjo-Kazooie, LEGO Batman, Terraria and Viva Pinata. And there are more retro things like Mega Man Legacy Collection, Resident Evil 0, Streets of Rage, Perfect Dark Zero and Pac-Man Championship Edition.[/quote]

it's live now for gold members and there's a free 14 day trial.

Quite a few of those I've already gotten free through games for gold, but there's still a lot that I don't have and would like to try.

[Toybasher]

No Ace Combat 6?

[Sims_doc]

Alot of good, Alot of bad. Damn shame i can't be bother owning a console anymore.

[Col. Buggernuts]

Disappointed that Age of Booty isn't what I thought it was.

[MightyLOLZOR]

So do you stream these games or can you download them?

[AntonioR]

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;52273492]So do you stream these games or can you download them?[/QUOTE]

Download and play on the actual console. That is one of the main points Phil Spencer emphasized when the service was announced.

[DrKinkyKinkles]

Is Xbox live still a paid service? So you would be paying the $10 on top of your already Gold subscription?

[gk99]

It's not a bad deal if you've just bought an xbox and have nothing to play, but many of these games are things people already own from giveaways or popularity and exclusivity

Certainly still better than the psn version of the service where everything is streamed.

Online for both main consoles is paid, and Nintendo is looking to do the same at some point in the Switch's lifetime.

[Del91]

It sounds like a gold subscription isn't required though

[QUOTE=Toybasher;52273303]No Ace Combat 6?[/QUOTE]

i dont think that game is available digitally at all so it probably would never happen.

[LordMoldyButt]

It really sucks that this isn't on PC.
