New games added to Xbox Game Pass

Battlefield 6 and Gears of War: E-Day have joined the Xbox Game Pass in October, with Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade set to arrive on October 29.

Promotional offer for Game Pass subscriptions

Xbox is currently offering a chance to try the Game Pass Ultimate or the PC Game Pass for 1 euro, for a duration of 14 days. The offer appears once connected to a Microsoft account and can be reserved for new subscribers, requiring a credit card upon registration.

Subscription options and costs

The Essential and Premium versions of the Game Pass are also available in the offer. At the end of the promotional period, the subscription is automatically renewed at the current rate, which is 20.99 euros per month for the Game Pass Ultimate and 12.99 euros per month for the PC Game Pass.

How to avoid automatic charges

Users can disable periodic billing from their Microsoft account to avoid charges after the trial period.

Release dates for new titles

Gears of War: E-Day was released on October 6, while Battlefield 6 followed on October 13, alongside the souls-like Valor Mortis. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is scheduled for October 29.

How the Game Pass works

The Game Pass functions like a Netflix for video games, allowing users to pay a subscription and freely choose from a library of games, which can be downloaded on consoles or PCs.

Features of Game Pass Ultimate

The Game Pass Ultimate includes access to more than 400 games, with Xbox-published titles arriving on the day of their release, except for Call of Duty. It also includes three third-party services: EA Play, Ubisoft+ Classics, and the Fortnite Club. The Ultimate version provides online multiplayer on console and 15 hours of monthly cloud gaming.

Differences between Game Pass versions

The PC Game Pass is a lighter version, reserved for computers, with more than 300 games, same-day releases, and EA Play, but it skips cloud gaming, Ubisoft+ Classics, and the Fortnite Club. It requires a PC running Windows 10 or 11 and the Xbox application.

Access to major titles at low cost

The Game Pass Ultimate offers access to Battlefield 6, Gears of War: E-Day, and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, all for the price of a coffee. Users who register before October 29 will have time to discover the latest addition without spending extra.

Important subscription note

The only trap to avoid is the automatic renewal. If users want to benefit only from the October releases, they should disable periodic billing from their registration. This allows access to the catalog until the end of the trial period.
