Microsoft has also offered access to Electronic Arts' EA Play service for PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. all new Xbox Game Studios titles are available to Game Pass subscribers immediately upon their release. The service features titles from Xbox Game Studios and other third-party publishers since January 2018. A premium tier known as Game Pass Ultimate includes access to both services, an on-demand cloud gaming service available on console, PC, and mobile platforms, and Xbox Live Gold subscription benefits. Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass are available as separate subscription products. The service consists of two products Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One, Series X, and Series S consoles, and PC Game Pass for PCs running Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Game Pass subscribers also receive discounts on purchases of games from the service's library and their respective downloadable content (DLC). Launched on June 1, 2017, the service allows users to download and play video games for Xbox video game consoles or Microsoft Windows PCs from a rotating library, with the games remaining accessible as long as the user has an active subscription. Microsoft isn't great about giving much of a head's up that a title's on its way out games leaving soon are announced two weeks in advance.Game Pass is a subscription service offered by Microsoft as part of Xbox network. Some of the biggest titles Game Pass has played host to in recent memory have left the service in relatively short order. While you'll likely never run out of something new to play, games do leave the service twice a month. The main downside to Game Pass is similar to any content-heavy service many games have an expiration date. The latest installment of another venerable franchise, Dragon Quest XI, will debut for Game Pass subscribers in December. There are multiple classic Final Fantasy games available, including the only version of Final Fantasy VII Xbox owners will be able to play for the foreseeable future. Even JRPGs, a traditionally weak genre on Xbox consoles, are well represented on the service.

DONTNOD's followup to Life Is Strange, Tell Me Why, is also available by the episode on Game Pass. If you're more of a fan of narrative games, multiple installments of Telltale's The Walking Deadseries are available.
