The subscription service levels up
Well, along with opening the doors to cross-platform play a while back, this is another big chunk of news from Microsoft. This morning the publisher announced that “all new games published by Microsoft Studios will be released into Xbox Game Pass on the same date as their global release.” To clarify, they noted that yes, this includes the upcomingSea of Thieves, and on March 20, you can play it off of the subscription-based Game Pass at launch for free.
If you recallthe Xbox Game Pass is a Netflix-esque service, allowing you to play an assortment of games for a $10 fee. It wasn’t just Microsoft-helmed games either, as a number of publishers like Deep Silver, Capcom, WB, and 2K partnered with them to make it happen.
