By far the most extensive on-demand video game offer, the Xbox Game Pass continues to attract many players. Its offer is diversifying a little more in this month of April 2022. Our update on the changes to Xbox Game Pass.
[Mis à jour le 6 avril 2021 à 14h48] The range of games available in Xbox Game Pass continues to grow. Microsoft’s on-demand video game service continues its success story, totaling more than 25 million subscribers. An exceptional growth when you consider that this figure was only 18 million a year ago. As a reminder, the Xbox Game Pass is a subscription offered by Microsoft in order to be offered a variety of games on Xbox One, Xbox Series, PC and via cloud-gaming. For a modest sum, the player therefore has access to several hundred titles, from the most obscure to triple A, through certain EA games, the American publisher having associated its own EA Play formula with the Xbox Game Pass. In this month of April 2022, we take a look at the new features and withdrawals in the Xbox Game Pass

Among the major new features integrating Xbox Game Pass in April 2022 are the very recent releases Lost in Random and Life is Strange True Colors. Two unique experiences, one carried by a small independent studio and by EA and the other using the formula that made the success of Life is Strange. There is also Star Wars Squadrons, the space combat game from EA which has been a great success since its release a little over a year and a half ago. Baseball and cricket fans will also be able to enjoy simulations of their favorite sports thanks to the Show 2022 and Cricket 2022.
But the Xbox Game Pass is not only games that integrate the catalog, it’s also games that come out. Among the games leaving the service this month are:
- MLB The Show 2
- Rain on your Parade
- F1 2019
- The Long Dark
- Pathway
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.
