Microsoft also took the opportunity to remind fans of their upcoming first party games Minecraft Legends will be coming on Apand Redfall is arriving on May 2, 2023.Īs a reminder, the PC Game Pass service allows Game Pass subscribers to download and play games Microsoft has licensed into the Game Pass library.

Eventually PC Game Pass will be available to 86 total countries. This preview is available for select insiders for a limited time special price. Either way, the coming months are shaping up to be an interesting time both for its subscription service, particularly PC Game Pass, and Microsoft in general.As explained in the official Xbox blog, the official rollout for these countries is already scheduled for the coming months, but this preview was scheduled for all countries to experience at the same time. Of course, the company has been actively looking to convince the opposition that it isn't the case, most recently via Microsoft's partnership with Nvidia and Nintendo. The regulators, as well as Xbox competitor Sony, have long argued that the purchase of Activision would give Microsoft an unfair advantage in the industry, especially with its Xbox Game Pass service. Xbox Game Pass has been a main talking point with regard to Microsoft's ongoing Activision acquisition case with regulators like the FTC and the UK's CMA.

However, that's not to say the service isn't without its share of challenges. While time will tell what the tech giant has in store for its subscription service, its active expansion efforts may come as welcome news for those who were keen on jumping on Xbox Game Pass.

The news comes a little after Microsoft announced that its Xbox Game Pass family plan expanded to six more countries. This new expansion means PC Game Pass is technically available in 86 countries, while the company states that the service will extend to all players beyond its preview version in the coming months.
