Microsoft
Corp's Xbox division announced on Tuesday it would launch a game subscription
service that will allow gamers to play over 100 Xbox video games for just 9.99
US dollars per month.
The
service, named "Xbox Game Pass," will allow subscribers to download
games directly to a console and play them online as well as offline, Phil
Spencer, head of Xbox, said in a blog post.
The
subscription will only be available on Microsoft's Xbox One videogame console
and devices running its Windows 10 operating system.
The
service, which will launch later this spring, will include games such as
"LEGO Batman," Microsoft's "Halo 5: Guardians" and Take-Two
Interactive Software Inc's "NBA 2K16."
"Xbox
Game Pass" subscribers will also be able to buy games in the catalog at a
discount.
Before
this service, console gamers usually bought individual games at a price around
10 to 60 US dollars, and the software would be partially useless if users
decided not to play anymore. So some players even rented their games out for a
"refund" to compensate this "loss."
But
under "Xbox Game Pass," they can enjoy more games at a much lower
price. Tech blog Gizmodo praised Xbox's move as "just what the struggling
console needed."
