Microsoft plans to introduce a gaming subscription service for Xbox One players called Xbox Game Pass. The Xbox Game Pass will give gamers "unlimited access to over 100 Xbox One and backward compatible Xbox 360 games" for $9.99 a month. 

On Tuesday, Microsoft announced Xbox Game Pass, an intriguing service where, for $10 a month, costumers get to download from a catalog of over 100 games. It sounds like a great idea - like a Netflix for games, without the uncertainties that are associated with PS Now (and extended to current generation games).

According to GameRant, Microsoft executive Phil Spencer refrained from listing the full set of games that will be available when the Xbox Game Pass goes live. However, he did mention in his post on Microsoft's site that it will include fan favorites like "Halo 5: Guardians," "Saints Row IV Re-Elected," "NBA 2K16," "Mad Max," "LEGO Batman," "Mega Man Legacy Collection," "Terraria," "Payday 2," "Gears of War: Ultimate Edition," "Fable III," "SoulCalibur II," and "Tekken Tag 2."  

Games with Gold continues. Xbox Game Pass is not a replacement for that. Great games and benefits with Gold continue. #Xbox

Xbox Game Pass offers timed access to a library of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games for £7.99/$9.99 a month. It differs from Sony's streaming service PS Now as users can download each of the games in the library directly to their platform - be it Xbox One or Windows 10."That means continuous, full-fidelity gameplay without having to worry about streaming, bandwidth or connectivity issues," Spencer said.
