First month is a buck, five bucks a month after that. You get a bunch of games.

5$/mo just for the duration of the beta period, right? Then it becomes 9$/mo?

Ah, yeah, I believe that's right.

Anyway, that seems very good (at least until they start slacking, like all these services do after a couple of years).
If i had replaced my hdd already, i'd do it right now.

Do I get to keep them forever/if my sub lapses?

How long do I have access to games within the Xbox Game Pass plans library?

Xbox Game Pass members enjoy unlimited access to high-quality games within the PC or Console libraries, until either the membership is canceled/expires, or a game leaves the Xbox Game Pass library.

Not at the moment (just the spin off games), but as far as i understood, all the Halo games are coming to PC, so they should be.

got the $1 sub to play gears of war 4 w a m8. masterchief collection will be on steam. service actually seems like a pretty decent way to get people using m$ store for games, but i doubt i'll continue past the first month.

Have they said how long the first month for $1 offer will be for? I've kinda wanted to check out Sunset Overdrive.

Probably should just pay it, install as much garbage as possible and then play each of them for twenty minutes right before the month expires. :success

Hopefully this gets the Halo PC ports. Was gonna re-buy Reach and finally play it for $10, so if it’s on this can get 2 months instead.

I see Microsoft has replaced the iconic character Lara Croft with Ark Raptor and Forza car with unnamed female Pirate #21.
Exciting stuff.

Looking like it's MS Store exclusive, so fuck that. :lol

Guess that's why Forza Horizon 3-4 isn't on Steam but Gears 5 is. :doge

Yep, they said at the conference that Halo MCC + Reach for PC will be part of it. All first party titles should be available on their launch if it works like the Xbox pass

I think they said something at one point about Forza and Killer Instinct's cross-platform play/Xbox Anywhere playing a role in the tether to the Store, I assume since they reached this partnership with Steam it's something they worked around like Bungie's going to also do when they scrap battle.net

Shit, tried downloading this new app store and it's making me update Windows to the latest version. Oh well, hopefully latest version is pretty stable.

Ar you guys aware that $1 fee upgrades all of your saved Live months?

I paid $1.10 yesterday for about 30 months of Gamepass Ultimate;  not per month, I paid $1.10.

God I'm paying for Gold month by month atm, wish I knew this before I upgraded. Would've bought a 12 month Gold card or something :(
