Xbox Game Pass To Get “At Least” Five New Games A Month

The Xbox Game Pass, which gives you unlimited access to a library of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games, will be updated each month with at least five new games. “We talk about ‘more is better’ and that means always having something new to play,” said senior product manager Dennis Ceccarelli.

The games will be “a great mix of games across different ratings, different experiences, different genres,” with the first games leaving the service in November, so you’ve got until then to finish them off.

The Xbox Games Pass launched this month and currently has 111 games available, costs £7.99, and requires you to download the games before you can play them. In comparison, Sony’s PlayStation Now costs £9.99, has over 300 games (with around fifteen new ones added each month), and uses streaming technology.  The Xbox Games pass has a free fourteen day trial, whilst Sony offer you a week to test the service.

  1. Out of curiosity, what are PlayStation Now’s offerings these days? Do they do PS4/Vita games, or is it just PS3 games?

    • PS3 games AFAIK.

    • Only last gen for Ps now, which means game pass has a huge advantage over it. And we have heard recently how little playstation gamers care for last gen games!

      • No we didn’t. We heard how little XBox gamers care for it. With numbers and stuff ;)

      • Well we did, as every article was full of comments from PS4 owners telling us how they don’t want to play last gen games so wouldn’t use BC anyway.

      • Well PS now was rather swept under the rug when the Sony crowd started bitching about BC :)

        I don’t consider PS Now and Game Pass to be in competition really. They’re both completely different things. If anything it’s more like EA Access.

  2. I tried PS Now during the beta and thought it was absolutely awful. Dark games were blotchy and clouded, there was obvious input lag and overall it just wasn’t a very good experience.

    I’m sure it’s improved a lot since then but I wouldn’t use it even if it was free. No time for last gen games when there are so many new games to play on PS4. I guess that could explain why it’s so popular on the XB1.
