PC Game Pass (was Xbox Game Pass for PC)

sgavan · 1 Dec 2019 at 11:55

Just did this and worked. My xbox live had expired.
Install the Xbox beta from the windows store, select the join game pass and it gave the option of 3 months for £1
Bought 3 x 12 months live pass from cdkeys and claimed them, said expires 2022
Bought the game pass ultimate from the xbox beta for £1 and checked my subscription, now showing game pass ultimate.
Currently installing metro exodus on PC

Hi

I've done the 3 month for £1 and I've also added a 12-month Gold voucher code I had and converted it to the ultimate game pass thing. I'm wondering if I can get another 12 month gold pass and add it or if that's it now I've converted?

Thanks,

M.

You would have been better to put the two 12 month game passes on first and then do the ultimate pass as that would have converted everything to ultimate for you.

I think you only get about 8 months ultimate from a 12 month gold pass.

Yeah i realise that now - sadly a little too late! Still 8 months is probably cheaper than buying the ultimate game pass - that seems ridiculously priced at present @ £32!

Halo Reach is live in UK now just under 22GB to download before its playable in about 30 mins or so I hope!

The lego store are doing rewards for xbox live. it says 7 days but it gives 14 days and if you enable recurring billing you will get an extra month free. also converts it to ultimate. Ive just upgraded mine to 3 years now. Its only 25 VIP rewards if anyone has a lego account.

You can keep adding and turn of recurring billing and you get 6 weeks for every code.

And people were reporting it was OoS around 11:20. Shows OoS for me now that the game pass has popped up in my list of available rewards.

Not sure how long the codes last for as the last one i got wouldn't let me put it on as it would take me over the 36 months limit so i have a spare one here if needed.

Are there any worth while titles on gamepass, I've only seen gears of war 5 there. It seems that the xbox version of the gamepass offers more worth while titles

You would have to define what you personally consider worthwhile, but ...

The Outer Worlds
Rage 2
Middle Earth : Shadow of War
Dead by Daylight
Forza Horizon 4
Astroneer
Sea of Thieves
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Metro Exodus
State of Decay 2
Dishonoured 2
Dead Cells
Kingdom Come Deliverence
Hellblade: Senua Sacrifice

And soon, Phoenix Point and the new MS Flight Simulator

All immediately come to mind.

Ahh good..Age of Wonders Planetfall, that's one that I've been interested in but not interested enough to pay the price for, so that's handy

No phoenix point is annoying.

Has Metro Exodus (for PC) been removed from the Game Pass / Store thing?

I had it installed but just upgraded HDDs and went to reinstall it and I can't.

It now only shows as being available for XBox...

Other games can still install on my PC, eg: Crackdown 3, Outer Worlds, Sea of Thieves etc.

Its still coming this delay is due to them wanting to ensure all content is available on Game Pass as well as Epic Store! https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/phoenix-point-has-been-delayed-on-xbox-game-pass-and-the-microsoft-store/
