Minecraft joins Xbox Game Pass in April
Xbox Game Pass keeps on getting better and better.
Today, Microsoft announced that Minecraft is joining Xbox Game Pass on April 4. According to the company, Minecraft allows players to "discover limitless ways to play and create anything you can imagine." You can try to survive the night alone or share your adventure with friends. You also have the ability to build anything you can think of, explore your own unique overworld, and interact with various creatures.
Microsoft added that since its 2009 launch, Minecraft has attracted over 91 million active players of all ages from virtually every country in the world. The game supports cross-play, so Xbox One owners can play with their friends on Nintendo Switch and other devices. There's also a major update coming soon which adds raids.
Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service which costs $10 every month. It gives you immediate access to over a hundred games on your Xbox One or Xbox One X. Keep in mind that many titles rotate in and out, just like Netflix.
The service also offers players a discount on the titles available in Xbox Game Pass, if they decide they want to continue their adventures for months to come.
Play over 100 games for one low price per month
Xbox Game Pass has a lot of important games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider and much more. There is a promotion going on right now which discounts it to just $1. There are also three-month subscriptions available for $30 on Amazon.
