Summary
Xbox Game Passlaunched 50 games on day one in 2023, an impressive number that reinforces one of the main appeals of subscribing to the service. Microsoft’s subscription gaming service is known to be a great value, particularly for non-casual gamers, with newtitles regularly being added to Xbox Game Passto replace those that are inevitably removed. And even people who only play occasionally can find justification in subscribing to the recently launched Xbox Game Pass Core, which offers a catalog of 25 console games to choose from for only $9.99 a month.
One of the more enticing aspects of Game Pass is that many titles launch on the service and are therefore available to play right away for a relatively small monthly fee. In 2023, 149 titles were added toXbox Game Pass, and a third of those were playable on day one. Many of the 50 games that launched on the service have been high-profile and even award-winning, likeHi-Fi Rush, Sea of Stars,andCocoon.
Though some players have expressed dissatisfaction with Microsoft’s subscription service, mainly due to the large number of indie games in the catalog or generally a lack of titles that interest them personally, given the number of active users, it seems most gamers appreciate what is being offered. And five more games —Open Roads, Lightyear Frontier, Botany Manor, Flock,andSopa –are already confirmed to becoming to Xbox Game Pass on day one in 2024, and there will undoubtedly be more announced as the year progresses.
