Microsoft has announced that it is preparing to bring its Xbox Game Pass subscription service to the PC.

Microsoft explained its motivation behind bring the popular service, which brings an ever-growing roster of games to subscribers each month and is currently only available on the Xbox One, to the PC: “Two years ago, we launched Xbox Game Pass on Xbox One, and since then we’ve seen how valuable a curated library of high-quality games can be for players and game developers alike. It offers a great way to discover and play your next favorite game.

“We researched whether a similar opportunity exists for PC players and PC game developers, and we believe that it does. We also considered the importance of bringing something new and additive to the PC gaming ecosystem, and we believe that we can. So, we designed a service specifically for the needs of PC gamers and PC game developers. It’s called Xbox Game Pass, just like the original, but it’s a new experience that we are building together with the PC community.”

Microsoft continued: “Game Pass will give PC players unlimited access to a curated library of over 100 high-quality PC games on Windows 10, from well-known PC game developers and publishers such as Bethesda, Deep Silver, Devolver Digital, Paradox Interactive, SEGA, and more. And just as we committed on the console, it is our intent to include new games from Xbox Game Studios in the PC Game Pass the same day as their global release, including titles from newly acquired studios like Obsidian and inXile. We’re working with over 75 developers and publishers to bring PC content to the service and we’ll ensure the library remains curated and full of great titles across a variety of genres, with new games added every month.”

Plus it added: “Game Pass for PC members will also receive discounts in the Microsoft Store on Windows of up to 20% on games currently in the library and up to 10% off related game DLC and add-ons.”

The company said it would release more details about Xbox Game Pass for PC at the forthcoming E3 Show. And for general Xbox news, keep an eye on Microsoft’s Xbox Wire website.
