PC Game Pass (was Xbox Game Pass for PC)

PC777 · 4 Mar 2021 at 14:57

I'm getting to saturation point on various game passes, didn't even get to try Control on Gamepass yet, but now I own it on Humble Bundle Monthly.

Seems a lot of games get shopped around various platforms.

This combined with Epic freebies means that almost any PC gamer has too many games to play. Not necessarily a bad place to be, but can get overwhelming in terms of choice and requiring storage space.

That's correct. The max you can stack is 36 months however.

I don't believe you can share game pass but I could be wrong. Might be possible if only one person plays at a time.

No worries, I had a dig around and I think this works....
Create a brand new microsoft account, sign up for Live and GamePass. Then sign into my PC with this account and I should have all the gamepass games etc. I will then use this account to sign into my Xbox and 'set it as home', then I will login with my usual profile/gamertag and then I should get all the gamepass access. My current profile has no live or anything attached so this should work fine!

Is it possible to play fight night champion on PC through this and EA play? I really miss this game since my PS3 packed up years ago and it never came to PS4 and never released on pc. I know you can get it on Xbox one with the game pass but I don't think this game extends to pc. I know it could be streamed from Xbox to PC but I don't have an Xbox to stream it from.

More Bethesda PC games heading to Game Pass later this week now the MS buyout has been passed! ...and future Bethesda games as expected some will be PC & Xbox exclusive titles!

Wonder if that means that Elder Scrolls 6 will release on Gamepass

Only on Xbox. Was playing it the other day.

If nothing really good comes up I'm cancelling my Gamepass. I have Doom Eternal to play and that's it. Not really interested in indi shovelware or games I own elsewhere. If this EA thing happens I might reconsider, but even then... EA

I am sure I read as a first party title it will be there day one.

The Evil Within (with all DLC) is potentially one of the games coming later today! someone found a storepage for it then MS took it down. Fallout 4 ~~GOTY~~ & Elder Scrolls are other rumoured additions later today

Xbox Game Pass could be getting Fallout 4 and The Evil Within this week (trueachievements.com)

The Evil Within is a fantastic game. I played it on PS4 where it's shimmer-city and looks a bit jank but on PC it cleans up nicely. But don't expect high frame rates, I think it chucks a wobbly over 60.

5-7PM UK time look to see if your game pass app needs updating for these new Bethesda additions to PC

big presentation MS are going to be giving around those times in the US...!

All 13 Bethesda PC games are now on Game Pass. Most have Xbox Live Integration, stackable achievements & several include all DLC (usually on game pass you have to buy the DLC separately). So its a good deal for anyone who does not own these already!

theone8181 · 12 Mar 2021 at 06:23

Some classic games there. I remember playing doom 1 and 2 with my bro over a serial or parallel cable. I think they'd be frustrating to play now.

AWPC · 12 Mar 2021 at 07:21

Just found out Fallout 4 GOTY you have to buy ALL the DLC its not free at all! Skyrim all DLC is included but for Fallout 4 they want another £35.99 for the DLC :rolleyes:

Most of the other Bethesda PC games included the DLC for free but not Fallout 4 :eek:

its just the base edition (hopefully this is an oversight but not going to hold my breath!). Fallout 4 GOTY is usually £9.99 on sale but here they want £35.99 good luck with that pricing :rolleyes:

I highly recommend Prey for anyone who hasnt played it. Its Half-life-esque at times.

I'm confused, years and years ago there was a Prey, now there is another Prey, are they related?

wunkley · 12 Mar 2021 at 11:06

Prey (most recent one) is one of my favourite games for years, and I only discovered it a few months ago. Really great atmosphere and presentation.

No, not related, if I recall correctly the Prey from way back when was like a first person shooter involving dinosaurs or something. This Prey is more like a first person Half-life , funnily enough also involving experiments gone wrong. Its a great game, good engine, decent graphics, several ways to go about doing things, I really did get a half life vibe from it at times.

The Evil Within does not work properly fullscreen @ 4K. You need to mess around with it otherwise you only get 25% of the screen vs 4K with black bars either side :rolleyes:

Fallout 4 - does not work properly either in full screen mode :rolleyes:

Minimal if zero QA on these 2 titles :eek:
