Xbox Game Pass continues to grow with many new games this summer. We find there As Dusk Falls, the return of the Yakuza games and a little hello from Ubisoft with Watch Dogs 2 and Far Cry 5.
[Mis à jour le 16 juin 2021 à 17h21] The Xbox Game Pass never stops getting richer. After the arrival of FIFA 22 and the first Ubisoft games at the beginning of the summer, here comes the continuation of the great franchises of the French developer and the return of the Yakuza games. Microsoft’s offer is increasingly attractive, benefiting from exclusive titles and a library of more than 450 titles available on PC, XBox One, Xbox Series and via Cloud Gaming. We take a look at the new features of the July pass, and the point on Microsoft’s offer a little further down in this article.
After the arrival of FIFA 22, it’s now the turn of Far Cry 5 and Watch Dogs 2 to take a spin on Microsoft’s subscription service. These triple A straight out of Ubisoft studios join the 450+ games of the subscription. They will be accompanied by the original novelty As Dusk Falls, a critically acclaimed animated narrative adventure. We also find the horrific creation Inside, the excellent platformer / puzzle from Playdead studios, those behind the legendary Limbo.

The other name on everyone’s lips when talking about the Microsoft subscription is that of Valheim. The viking game which was one of the biggest surprises of the year 2021 has attracted more than 10 million players, and will go down in history as one of the most beautiful success stories in the history of video games. . And the good news is that the game is done with its PC exclusivity. It will therefore be released next year, in 2023on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, and will appear upon release on those consoles in Xbox Game Pass.
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.
