According to the Microsoft earnings call, Microsoft are looking at bringing Game Pass to PC. That'll be interesting if they get third parties to sign up to it properly. EA Origin Access is similar, but I don't know how that is doing.

See here.

It's technically already on PC but only has the few "Play Anywhere" games on it. i wonder are they going to make a big push to get more third party games added to the windows store.

That's just Play Anywhere allowing you to play on PC. Surely the point of announcing it coming to PC would be to actually have the game collection available on PC, or a PC section in game pass with a significant amount of games other than play anywhere titles which are in limited supply. Will be interesting to see how it will work.

Or we could be seeing the like of Age of Empires IV coming straight to Game Pass on Day and Date?

Would be nice to see some of the Microsoft PC games in the service. Or even other xbox enabled tablet or mobile games? Boost the XBox brand on PC.

I think that's the most likely route, I can't see them getting the licensing to add all the third party games to the windows store.

Some of Novembers games are up. I guess I'll finally get to try out a Sniper Elite game.

Nice, Grip is going straight to game pass. Looks like a nice spiritual successor to Rollcage.

Looking forward to Sniper Elite 4. Kept holding off buying it on PC and XBOX

Max Mafioso

I got it during the sale a while back, enjoyed it, found the multiplayer difficult though, my skills were not good

I'd not played a sniper elite game before 4. Loved it. Kind of old hitman games meets old call of duty.

Lord Spence

Any good deals about for game pass at the moment?

These games are all leaving Game Pass tomorrow:

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty
Resident Evil
Sky Force Anniversary
World of Van Helsing: Deathtrap
Mega Man 9

Fallout 4 is also meant to be leaving during the month, but not tomorrow.

CatInABox

A dozen games being announced for Game Pass on the 10th. Probably not all at once, but over the next couple of months.

See here.

I’m trying to finish bloody Fallout 4, just keeps going on and on.

You set up auto renew for an extra month free, then turn it off.
