When Xbox Game Pass launches, you can download and play a broad range of games on Xbox One, including Halo 5: Guardians, NBA 2K16 and Payday 2; fun for the family in LEGO Batman, Banjo-Kazooie and Viva Pinata; retro and classic games like Mega Man Legacy Collection, Streets of Rage and Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+; and shooter games, including all three titles in the BioShock franchise, Gears of War 1-3, Gears Ultimate, Perfect Dark Zero, Borderlands and more.
