    XBox Game Pass for PC

    So I just discovered that Microsoft offer a PC version of Xbox Live Game Pass for PC. Right now it's £1 for the first month and £3.99 per month after that, at least for now.
    Considering there's a reasonable library of games available for download and play for that price, I thought I'd mention it here. There might be a few who find it a decent option to play some games at low cost.

    If you do sign up it's a little bit of a pain scrolling down to change the region to UK. Keep an eye on it because I found it had a habit of redirecting me to the US site, and I didn't want to risk signing up with the wrong region. Maybe it works, but I didn't want to risk it.

    I am using it on the PC as well. It works great.

    Loads of games on it including Gears 5, Forza, Metro Exodus, SOTR and so on.

    it's a good deal if you are a heavy gamer but if you play ones a week there is no point to waste money

    I have the Ultimate version so have access on both PC and my XBox 1X

    Absolutely fantastic service and well worth having

    You can get 3 months of Xbox Ultimate for £1 at the moment which includes PC game pass. If you have any Xbox Gold left it automatically transfers that into Ultimate for the remaining months too.
    I have played quite a few games on PC that I wouldn't have if I'd had to pay full price for.

    Game pass is incredible value. Interestingly the best thing I have played on there is farming sim 2017.

    Unfortunately they put the price up to £8 a month. Still quite a few decent games on it for that much!

    Re: XBox Game Pass for PC

    Personally, I don't like that subscription based payment models are so common in everything now. I'd much rather save and budget for something to own than have constant payments coming out. I realise that individually the game pass is good value, but these things can all soon add up if we eventually have to subscribe to multiple different passes to play the games we want.
