The Xbox Game Pass continues its great story with the arrival of two famous licenses in its catalog, both from Japan.
[Mis à jour le 11 janvier 2023 à 14h49] With its huge catalog of games, the Xbox Game Pass has the assets to attract more and more players. This revolutionary offer offered by Microsoft for the past five years largely dominates its very young category, offering PC and Xbox gamers an astronomical amount of self-service games in exchange for an extremely affordable monthly subscription. At the moment, it is the next games to integrate the famous offer that are at the heart of the news, with the arrival of Monster Hunter Rise and Persona 3 and 4 in a few days. We take stock of the new additions to Xbox Game Pass in January 2023.
While it will be arriving shortly on PS4, Xbox One, PS5 and Xbox Series, Monster Hunter Rise, the latest of the name of the famous co-op boss fighting game license, is coming on next January 20 in Xbox Game Pass. This large-scale Switch exclusive invites you to discover a unique universe of fantasy, where monsters of all sizes and scales are legion. A game that has proven itself on Nintendo Switch and PC and which joins Microsoft’s subscription offer for the first time. The other video game monument that joins the catalog is none other than the Shin Megami Tensei series, or Persona, which offers us its episodes 3 and 4 from next January 19.
If it had a hundred games when it was launched in 2019, the Xbox Game Pass has since been greatly enriched, offering nearly 384 titles to its subscribers. With such a catalog, it is easy to find what you are looking for for a very low price, since you then have games of all genres, whether known or not, Triple A or independent. In addition, exclusive Xbox One and Xbox Series games developed by Microsoft are available in Xbox Game Pass from the day of their release, such as Sea of Theives, Forza Horizon 4 or Gears 5. Today you can find Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons, Gears 5, Dead by Daylight, Madden NFL, UFC 4 or even FIFA 2021. Be careful, because the availability of certain games depends on the platform on which you play, whether you have a Xbox One, an Xbox Series, or a PC.
Microsoft has been looking for some time to implement the “Xbox Play Anywhere” which allows you to play Xbox games anywhere, and on any medium with Microsoft. This is now possible on Windows 10 for nearly 100 Xbox Game pass games since E3 2019. The service is available on PC for €9.99 per month and simply requires the installation of the Xbox PC application on Windows 10. Many PC exclusives can be found there, such as remasters of Age of Empires games, but also console exclusives that have been ported to PC via Xbox Play Anywhere. We can think here of the Halo franchise, which was for a long time exclusive to Xbox, and which has since the release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection available for PC players.
Recently, EA and Microsoft teamed up to bring EA Play to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. This subscription service allows players to access a multitude of EA titles, such as FIFA, Madden, Battlefield, Battlefront and UFC. An extremely interesting offer, allowing you to discover the particularly varied catalog of the largest video game publisher in the world, including recent releases in preview and up to ten hours of play. Unfortunately, subscribing to Xbox Game Pass does not give no access to EA Play Pro, EA’s comprehensive subscription service that includes all unlimited games, including new releases.
Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that offers a large library of games. Xbox Game Pass gives you access to a library of games that you can download and play anytime, as long as you keep your Game Pass subscription. The Game Pass subscription costs €9.99/month in its standard version. The Ultimate version, on the other hand, gives you access to the PC and Xbox One catalogs as well as the Xbox Live Gold subscription to play online on Xbox One. It will then cost you 12.99€/month. Both subscriptions include access to EA Play.
