Recently Microsoft expanded their digital gaming subscription service with Xbox Game Pass for PC. At their E3 2019 press conference, they added Xbox Game Pass for PC to Game Pass Ultimate.

Game Pass Ultimate bundles Game Pass for Console and Game Pass for PC, as well as Xbox Live Gold, for $14.99 a month. You can still get Xbox Game Pass for Console, or Xbox Game Pass for PC separately for $9.99 a month. You can upgrade your exiting Live Gold subscription or sign up and get the first month for $1. Subscriptions are currently discounted at $4.99 per month with a special launch discount.

Subscribing to Xbox Game Pass grants access to over 100 digital games. The full list of games can be found on the website. PC games include Forza Horizon 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, SteamWorld Dig 2, and Wargroove.

Over 25 games are being added to Xbox Game Pass for Console as well, including Batman: Arkham Knight, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, and Moonlighter.

Game Pass members also get discounts on purchasing digital games: 20% off games and 10% off DLC. Game Pass members also get access to the Gears 5 Tech Test this July, and the new Heartland DLC to State of Decay 2, for free.
