Xbox Game Pass Coming In June
Microsoft has announced that its Xbox Game Pass subscription on Xbox One for older Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles goes live to the public on June 1.
Today, Xbox Live Gold members can start a 14-day trial period early (a Gold-level membership is not required for the service, only for titles' multiplayer modes). The monthly service costs $9.99, with titles rotating in and out.
For more on the service, including its list of initial titles – including the BioShock series, Mad Max, the Gears of War franchise, numerous indies, and more – click the source link below.

Our Take
The fact that it's not streaming is a huge advantage over Sony's PS Now. It's also worth noting that Microsoft previously said the service was also coming for Windows 10, but the company quickly revised this just to Xbox One.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
