So let Paste help you out and sift for the gold buried within Game Pass. Basically, there’s a ton of games available through Game Pass, so many that it can get a little overwhelming without some guidance. And finally, with Microsoft’s recent acquisition of Bethesda, you can expect franchises like Fallout, Doom, and Dishonored to hang out on Game Pass in perpetuity. Microsoft also has a deal with Electronic Arts to include EA Play inside Game Pass-so every Game Pass subscription now includes EA’s own subscription service, with dozens of EA classics from the last three console generations. Game Pass already had a deep lineup that features most of Microsoft’s first party games, including the entire Halo and Gear of Wars series, along with a rotating selection of top games from third party publishers and independent developers. Will it work long term? Who knows, but for now it’s a fantastic deal for consumers. Microsoft is banking hard that a subscription service like this is the future of gaming, with its acquisition of Zenimax and proposed purchase of Activision Blizzard eyed to keeping the Game Pass content pipeline chugging along. Game Pass consistently adds great games every month, and once you subscribe it becomes hard to stop.

Microsoft’s Netflix-style subscription service lets you download hundreds of games for your Xbox or PC for as little as $10 a month, and as long as you subscribe they’ll always be on your dashboard, waiting to be played.
