Just like Netflix, Microsoft's own “originals” or first-party games will be available on Game Pass for a very long time while the rest of the catalogue keeps getting refreshed based on deals with developers and publishers. Xbox Game Pass is considered the Netflix of Games The report goes on to say, “Speaking of Bethesda, with 30 games added from the publisher this year, the total of all of them came to $604.71 (slightly over Rs 45,000), just under 10% of the value of 2021’s entire additions to the library”. The total value of March’s Game Pass additions is $964.67” (More than Rs 70,000). It also includes a slew of third party games available on the service like Scarlet Nexus, The Gunk, Mortal Kombat 11 ( review), Serious Sam 4, A Plague Tale Innocence, Back 4 Blood, Outriders ( review), Control ( review), and many many more.Īccording to the report, “The month which offered the most value was March 2021, where almost two dozen Bethesda games were added to the service after Microsoft acquired the publisher and its developers.

Xbox Game Pass starts at Rs 489 per month for the consoles or PC and the combination of the two along with access to Games with Gold and EA Play is priced at Rs 699. This is where a service like Game Pass from Microsoft really helps soften the blow and reduces the point of entry to enjoy a great catalogue of games. While most gamers will wait for a sale or price drop to get their hands on their favourite game, the urge to play a new game at launch is quite palpable especially if it has been reviewed really well. Not only do you need to spend Rs 50,000 (if you can find it at retail) for the PS5 ( review) or Xbox Series X ( review), but each new AAA game at launch costs roughly Rs 4000 to Rs 6000 which is quite a lot. Let's face it, gaming is an expensive hobby.
