Future Microsoft Studios games to launch on Xbox Game Pass

Microsoft has announced plans for a major expansion to Xbox Game Pass program.

Moving forward, the publisher plans to release all new Xbox One exclusive games from Microsoft Studios into Xbox Game Pass on the same date as their global release. This means that when Sea of Thieves launches on March 20, it will be included in Xbox Game Pass to all members.

This plan to bring new games timed with their global release into Xbox Game Pass not only includes announced titles like Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2 and Crackdown 3 but future unannounced games from Microsoft Studios including new iterations of our biggest Xbox One exclusive franchises such as Halo, Forza and Gears of War, on the same day they launch.

Xbox is also working with retail stores to offer a 6-month Xbox Game Pass subscription card. The 6-month Xbox Game Pass subscription card will be available at select retail partners for $59.99 USD beginning March 20. Currently, fans can purchase the subscription with 1-month increments at $9.99 USD / $11.99 CAD.

EA Access, also exclusive to Xbox, has a similar feature set - however, the brand new releases that EA offers are limited time / limited content trials.
