JUNE 2020 PCWorld 97XBOX GAME PASS FOR PC
If you’re interested in play as well as work, Xbox
Game Pass for PC (go.pcworld.com/xbp) is
easily the best value in gaming, usurping the
title long held by Humble Monthly (RIP).
Microsoft’s subscription service costs just $5
per month for unlimited access to over 100 PC
games. That includes all of Microsoft’s own
first-party titles—like Halo (go.pcworld.com/
hlo), Gears Tactics (go.pcworld.com/ger),
Forza (go.pcworld.com/frz), Outer Worlds (go.
pcworld.com/owo), and Age of Empires (go.
pcworld.com/aoe)—on the day of launch.
Better yet, the PC version of Xbox Game
Pass is loaded with top-tier indie games,
including MechWarrior 5, The Surge 2, Frost-
punk, Ark: Survival Evolved, A Plague Tale:
Innocence, Mutant Year Zero, Kingdom Come:
Deliverance, and a whole lot more. You’ll also
find a smattering of third-party AAA titles like
Dishonored 2, Wolfenstein: Youngbloods, and
Rise of the Tomb Raider.
For $5 a month (go.pcworld.com/5am)?
It’s an absolute steal.You install games via a dedicated Xbox Game Pass for PC app, which is much better behaved than
Windows 10’s atrocious Microsoft Store.
