For example, Fallout 2 was only ever released for PC, so you can't download it on a console. Not every game on PC is available on Xbox, and vice-versa. Microsoft has a full list of available games on its website, with filters to browse by platform and other options. Some examples include FIFA 22, GRID Legends, The Sims, Battlefield 2042, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, Dirt 5, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and many others. Game Pass PC and Game Pass Ultimate also include access to EA Play, which has its own collection of games from Electronic Arts. There have only been a few exceptions, like Forza Motorsport 7, which was pulled from both Game Pass and all stores in 2021 due to expiring licenses for cars and tracks. New games published by Xbox Game Studios are added to Game Pass at the same time they are released, and typically never leave the service, unlike the third-party games that rotate in and out. That's not just useful for games leaving the service - most titles are available to purchase outright at a discount for Game Pass subscribers, which then remain accessible on your account forever. However, Microsoft does offer discounts on purchasing any games on Game Pass until they are fully removed from the service.
The main downside with Game Pass is that some games eventually leave the service. No matter which platform you're on, you can download as many games from Game Pass as you want and play them whenever you want - as long as they remain on the Game Pass service. On PC, the games are listed in the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 and Windows 11, and you can browse through them with the Xbox app. The service works on the Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One X, Xbox One S, and Xbox One.
On Xbox, the games included in Game Pass can be downloaded to your console just like any regular digital game purchase.
The exact pricing varies by region and which tier you select, but it generally works out to be cheaper than buying 2-3 new major games at launch each year.
It's intended as an alternative to buying every single game you want individually - an expensive proposition when many new major titles start at $70. Xbox Game Pass gives you unlimited access to a collection of games for one monthly cost.
