As well as Xbox Live Gold, which is mandatory for online gaming, Microsoft offers a separate monthly subscription service for gamers: Xbox Game Pass.
It gives you access to more than 100 games to play on your Xbox One for one monthly fee. And, unlike PlayStation Now, it isn't a cloud service so you don't have to rely on your own broadband speeds to play.
Well, not to stream anyway, because you'll still need to download the games. However, when downloaded, you have complete access to a game as long as you continue to pay the monthly fee.
We've put together a handy guide on Xbox Game Pass, with details such as price, availability and the games currently on the platform. Hopefully it will give you everything you need to know about it.
What is Xbox Game Pass?
Xbox Game Pass is a monthly subscription service that provides access to over 100 games, curated by the Xbox team. You can download and play them as often as you like, as long as you continue to pay the monthly fee. Some of them might also become unavailable as new titles are added, but you also have the option of buying any of the collection outright at special, member-exclusive prices.
Xbox One, Xbox 360 and original Xbox games are part of the line-up, the latter two through backwards compatibility, and considering 2K, Capcom, Warner Bros and Microsoft's own studio are among the publishers and developers signed up, there are plenty of top titles to choose from.
In addition, Microsoft plans to add day-and-date releases of its own games in future. From 20 March 2018, for example, you will be able to download and play Sea of Thieves - the same day it is being released in stores. State of Decay 2 and Crackdown 3 are others confirmed to join at a later date. Plus, there will be new games in the Halo, Forza and Gears of War franchises added as soon as they are released sometime in the future.
It is available to Xbox One, Xbox One S and Xbox One X owners.
How much does Xbox Game Pass cost?
Xbox Games Pass is priced at £7.99 a month in the UK, $9.99 in the US.
You can sign up for a 14-day free trial to try it before payment starts from xbox.com/game-pass.
You can cancel after the 14-days are up or at any time during your membership.
Is Xbox Game Pass available now?
Xbox Game Pass is available to all Xbox One, Xbox One S and Xbox One X gamers now. You just need an Xbox Live account.
What games are part of Xbox Game Pass?
Xbox Game Pass will always offer more than 100 games, made up of Xbox One, Xbox 360 and original Xbox backward compatible titles. Some might be switched in future for other games, but here is the current list of all the games that are currently available:
