14 DAY TRIAL // There's no better game subscription service available on the market than Xbox Game Pass and it's not just because it's the cheapest, but also because it offers the largest and most exciting library of titles.
Microsoft adds a handful of new games to the Xbox Game Pass library each month and most of them are first-party titles or games that have been launched just a few months ago. Almost all Microsoft and Xbox One games are now available for free via Xbox Game Pass, but you can also play triple-A titles like Metro Exodus, The Surge, The Outer Worlds, Dishonored 2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider.
But since we never have enough games, Microsoft has decided to pump up the volume and add another 50 titles to Xbox Game Pass by the end of 2019 and throughout the next year. The highlights of the list are the Final Fantasy and Yakuza series, which will be available on both PC and Xbox One in 2020.
The following Final Fantasy series games will join Xbox Game Pass next year: Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII: Remastered, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy X: HD Remastered, Final Fantasy X-2: HD Remastered, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XV. On a side note, Microsoft confirmed that it's working closely with Square Enix to bring Final Fantasy XIV to Xbox One soon.
Also, SEGA and Microsoft announced the first three games in the Yakuza series will arrive on Xbox One and PC in 2020: Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza Kiwami 2.
Starting today, the following games will be available to play on Xbox One and PC via Xbox Game Pass: Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition (PC), Age of Wonders: Planetfall (Xbox One, coming soon to PC), Hearts of Iron IV: Cadet Edition (PC), LEGO: The Ninjago Movie Videogame (PC), Rage 2 (Xbox One and PC), Remnant: From the Ashes (Xbox One), The Talos Principle (Xbox One and PC), Tracks: The Train Set Game (Xbox One and PC).
More titles will join Xbox Game Pass beginning this holiday and throughout 2020, including Carrion, Cris Tales, Cyber Shadow, Darksiders III, Edge of Eternity, My Friend Pedro, West of Dead, The Escapists 2, Pandemic, and Vambrace: Cold Soul. Some of Microsoft's own titles will join Xbox Game Pass on launch days, such as Bleeding Edge, Grounded, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Minecraft Dungeons, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Tell Me Why, and Wasteland 3.
If you haven't tried Xbox Game Pass Ultimate yet, you can get the first 3 months for just $1. If you're just playing on the PC, the service will be $5 after the first three months, while both the Ultimate version that allows you to play on Xbox One and PC cost $15 per month.
