What is Microsoft Game Pass?
GamePass is Microsoft’s subscription-based service that grants you access to a huge library of video games on both XBOX consoles and PCs. The service is split into different tiers including:
- XBOX Game Pass Ultimate – includes the latest XBOX Studio games on day one, along with an EA Play membership, online multiplayer, and cloud gaming.
- XBOX Game Pass Standard – grants access to hundreds of games, online multiplayer, and member discounts. Doesn’t include new releases on day one.
- XBOX Game Pass Core – Is the entry-level Game Pass tier for consoles, and features a curated catalogue of games, online multiplayer, and member discounts.
- PC Game Pass– Includes one day titles on PC, an EA Play membership, and member discounts.
These different tiers require a monthly subscription fee which differs depending on the type of tier you select. Here at Overclockers UK, we like to treat you like the kings and queens you are, so we’ve included a one-month subscription to XBOX Game Pass (insert which version it is) for free! This means you take all those AAA games for a quick test drive before you spend any pennies.
