A convenient way to explore the full list of games in PC Game Pass. We automatically scan the Xbox Store to keep this list up to date, including new additions and titles scheduled to leave the service. Whether you are a current subscriber or considering joining, this page shows you exactly what is available right now.
PC Game Pass is Microsofts gaming subscription service for Windows computers. For a monthly fee of around $10, you get unlimited access to a library of hundreds of PC games that you can download and play as long as your subscription is active. New games are added regularly, including major releases that often arrive on the service on day one. Unlike buying games individually, you do not own the titles permanently, but the value is exceptional considering the breadth of the catalog. Microsoft often runs promotional pricing for new subscribers, sometimes as low as $1 for the first month.
PC Game Pass gives you access to the PC games library only. Game Pass Ultimate includes everything in PC Game Pass plus Xbox console games, cloud gaming on mobile and browser, and EA Play membership. If you only game on PC, the standard PC Game Pass is sufficient and costs less. If you also own an Xbox console or want to stream games to your phone or tablet, Ultimate provides better value. Both tiers receive the same PC game additions on the same day. For a cheaper alternative, Game Pass Core offers a smaller selection at a lower price.
Most games remain in the library for many months, often a year or more. Microsoft announces games leaving the service about two weeks before removal, giving you time to finish or purchase them at a subscriber discount. First-party Microsoft titles like Halo, Forza and Gears of War typically stay permanently. Third-party games rotate based on licensing agreements with publishers. If a game you are playing leaves the service, your save data is preserved, and you can continue from where you left off if you buy the game or it returns to the catalog later.
The catalog spans every genre. Microsofts own studios contribute titles like Starfield, Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, Age of Empires IV and Sea of Thieves. Third-party highlights rotate but frequently include major releases from EA, Bethesda, Obsidian and other publishers. The service is particularly strong for RPGs, racing games and strategy titles.

Yes. Active Game Pass subscribers receive up to 20% off on games currently in the catalog and up to 10% off related DLC and add-ons. This is useful when a game you enjoy is about to leave the service and you want to keep it permanently. The subscriber discount applies on top of any existing sale prices. You can compare these prices with offers from other stores on XD.deals to make sure you are getting the best deal. Check Steam deals and Steam keys as sometimes buying a Steam version elsewhere is cheaper than the Microsoft Store subscriber price.
If you play at least two to three new games per month, Game Pass pays for itself compared to buying those titles individually. The service excels for players who like trying different genres, following new releases, and do not mind that access ends if you cancel. It is especially valuable for expensive AAA launches that arrive on day one. If you prefer to own your games permanently or only play one title at a time for months, buying games during Steam sales might offer better value. Many players combine both approaches: Game Pass for trying new releases and buying favorites during sales.
The base game is always included in Game Pass. DLC, expansions and season passes are typically sold separately, though subscribers get a 10% discount on add-on content. Occasionally, a Game Pass version includes specific DLC as part of a promotion, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Some games on Game Pass are "Standard Edition" while the "Deluxe" or "Complete" editions with all DLC must be purchased. Check the individual game page on this list to see exactly what is included with your subscription. For free titles on Game Pass, visit our dedicated page.
