Currently, video and music streaming services have become the most used by users because they offer us access to almost unlimited content of both movies / series and music. But it seems that this new way of consuming content is also beginning to reach the world of video games thanks to Xbox Game Pass, a Microsoft service that allows us to access more than 100 games compatible with Xbox 360 and Xbox One for $ 9,99 per month. In this way it will be difficult for us to get bored with the console and the games that we have previously bought.
Xbox Game Pass will arrive in the spring of this year, there are no specific dates yet. This service will allow us to enjoy any game, without the need for an internet connection for 30 days, after which we will have to connect to the internet if we want to continue playing. Logically, as long as we are paying the monthly subscription, we will not find any limitation when playing online. According to Microsoft the catalog will change without prior notice, so if we have gotten hooked on a game, the Redmond-based company offers us a 20% discount if we want to buy it.
Once we stop paying the fee, all the games that we have downloaded without having bought them, will stop working, a system very similar to that of most streaming services, both video and audio. Xbox Game Pass will be available to all Xbox One users and Windows 10 computers, although the latter will only have access to Xbox Play Anywhere. If our intention is to play in offline mode, it is not necessary to have an Xbox Live subscription, a point to keep in mind that it will not increase the expense that we have to do every month to enjoy a large number of games for one monthly fee.
