Why PC Gamers need an Xbox Games Pass

Ever found yourself buying the latest must-have game for £60, only to lose interest after a few weeks? You’re certainly not alone. Constantly buying the latest titles just to stay in the loop is an expensive pursuit.

That’s why these days, many thrifty PC gamers are opting out of the pricey one-time game purchases and signing up for a PC Xbox Game Pass instead.

Rather than shelling out lots of money for a single game that you’ll likely get tired of pretty quickly, why not opt for a monthly subscription and enjoy access to hundreds of different games that you can play anytime.
