PC Game Pass (was Xbox Game Pass for PC)

I think with regards to the delayed Doom Eternal on PC, won't they have to re-engineer the game to use DirectX? There's things I don't know such as Vulkan games being allowed on the Windows Store? Is Vulkan allowed on the Xbox One? Or is id going to have to go back and essentially port the Xbox version to Windows for Game Pass?

I suppose it's not that much of a chore. They were scheduled to do a next-gen version of Doom Eternal anyway, which presumably means using DirectX 12 for the Xbox Series. With the new Game Development Kit, they can build the PC version at the same time rather than as previously, it was Xbox only.
 
Really excited for Doom Eternal.

As an aside - does anyone else's Game Pass app say that they own Gears 4? I've played it previously on Game Pass but not bought it and am currently not a Game Pass subscriber but it says I own it and it's downloading for me now. Whether it will let me play it is another matter. I shall update in 133.7GB time.
 
Doom Eternal definitely finished after 56GB (maxed out my connection at 8MB/sec) but it only shows Battlemode in the Game Pass app. Starting that does give you the option to play campaign though and it didn’t do anymore downloading.
 
I managed to bag the 3 months for £1. This is just ridiculous. I haven't paid more than £1 for a month of Game Pass since it started. I only sub every 3 or so months though. And EA's catalogue is coming in 11 days. The only downside is I don't trust any game installation that's bigger than 50GB or so. Gears 4 download ended up crashing at the 90GB mark and decided to restart from the beginning. What a crock. So it got deleted. For the love of god, MS need to get Game Pass on Steam like EA Play has.
