    What is Xbox Game Pass? 

    Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription gives unlimited access to hundreds of games. Gamers who enjoy playing and discovering new games will find this subscription of great value. Your subscription can be accessed from your Xbox One or Windows 11 PC. 

    Two methods can be used to locate Xbox Game Pass games on your computer. The easiest method requires you to download an app free of charge, but I think it will be worth it. The second method doesn’t require any additional installation, but it is easier for you to find a compatible Game Pass game. 

    If you already have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Game Pass PC, skip this step. For everyone else, start here. You can purchase a subscription to Game Pass for PC at $4.99 per month (it’s an introductory cost, $9.99 per month), or to Game Pass Ultimate at $14.99/month. This bundle subscription includes Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass for Xbox One consoles. 

    Access Games On Game Pass via the XBOX app

    This is a user-friendly and most convenient way to locate Xbox game pass games that are compatible with a PC. The Xbox game pass doesn’t have to be downloaded. It comes pre-installed with Windows 11. You can open the Xbox Game Pass by going to the search bar. Search Xbox. Log in to Xbox Game Pass using your Microsoft account. It will be easier to use than the Microsoft Store’s user interface. The interface even shows Game Pass games on the first screen. 

    All content on the Xbox App can be played on a PC, unlike the default Store view. Once you have installed the games that you want to play, you can launch them via the Xbox app or the shortcut that you created during installation. 

    Access Game Pass Games for PC via Microsoft Store 

    All PC games that are currently available through Game Pass are now available in Microsoft Store. This is Windows 11’s app shop. There is no additional installation required. As I mentioned earlier, this is the most difficult way to find Game Pass compatible games for PC. 

    If you have the time and don’t mind downloading, you should download the Xbox app.

    1. Open Microsoft Store.

    Microsoft Store

    2. Click the Library icon in the lower-left corner of the Store homepage.

    3. Click on “Xbox Game Pass” to view all available options. The Game Pass includes all the games.

    This view shows all Xbox Game Pass games. There is no way to filter this view to make Xbox One-exclusive games disappear.

    How frequently is the library updated?

    New games are added often, so make sure you visit the site frequently to view the latest additions.

    What is the best way to find out which games are being removed from Game Pass?

    Click the link to see which games are being removed from Game Pass.

    What’s Xbox Cloud Gaming?

    Xbox Cloud gaming lets you play over 100 console games on any of your devices using Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or compatible controllers. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership gives you the opportunity to enjoy the console games you love, as well as the people you want to play with, on your existing devices. All this information is available via the Xbox Game Pass app or Xbox.com.

    What is the best way to get started with a Game from Cloud?

    To play Xbox console games on Cloud from your device, you will need the following:

    1. An Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Membership valid in the region where it is supported.

    2 All supported devices are Windows 11 PCs and Apple phones and tablets.

    3. Bluetooth compatible or USB compatible controller. Select games can be played with the Xbox touch controllers.

    4. A Wi-Fi/LTE data connection that has a minimum speed of 10 Mbps. For the best quality, some devices may need 20 Mbps. It is recommended to use a 5 GHz Wi-Fi connection.

    5 To play on Xbox.com, you need a supported browser such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Safari.

    Can I still play Xbox games if I don’t have a Game Pass subscription?

    Xbox Game Bar games are free to play. Many fun games are available for free, including Spongebob and Asphalt 9, as well as many others.

    Conclusion 

    I personally use the Xbox game bar because it gives 100+ games only for $9.99 and you also get a lot of wonderful free games which you can install and play without any subscription. So, I personally recommend you must use the Game Pass app.
