Xbox Game Pass offers 100 games for $9.99 per month The new Xbox Game Pass grants access to over 100 Xbox One and backwards-compatible Xbox 360 titles for a cost of $9.99 per month.
It includes titles from publishers such as 2K, 505 Games, BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment, Capcom, Codemasters, Deep Silver, Focus Home Interactive, SEGA, SNK CORPORATION, THQ Nordic GmbH, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Microsoft Studios.

Fan favorite games like Halo 5: Guardians, Payday 2, NBA 2K16 and SoulCalibur II will be included when the service launches this spring.

The 100 titles available will change monthly, with some new titles cycling in and out. Subscribers will be able to purchase game titles permanently at a discount if they choose to. All titles can be downloaded directly to the Xbox One HDD and so you won't need to rely on streaming.

Microsoft will be testing Xbox Game Pass with select members of the Xbox Insider Program in the Alpha Preview ring starting today with a very limited number of titles.

If the Xbox game in this list is available on PC.....then count that out as it doesn't matter.

These would need to be proprietary Xbox ONLY games but all too many are for both PC and console.

It is quite amusing.Sold ya 360 & it's games for next to nothing then bought an xbox one only to buy & download a load of games you previously got rid of

edit: post not directed at anyone in particular.
There may be an increase in better graphics on some of those 360 games.Burnout 2 on the original xbox was quite pixelated however when on the 360 it looked bloody fantastic & clear
