Some Microsoft Rewards users are receiving official emails indicating an upcoming price increase for Xbox Game Pass redemptions.

There's one major game hitting Game Pass this week, but if Avowed isn't your style we have plenty of other excellent new Xbox games you can play this weekend.

So, sure, GamePass is reasonably successful for what it is — but it definitely hasn’t changed the world like Netflix did to Hollywood. People are still mostly buying new games, sometimes even still on a disc from Best Buy or Walmart. Streaming a game to your phone or TV over the cloud remains pretty niche.

If you're considering subscribing to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate any time soon, these are the 10 best games on Game Pass Ultimate right now to check out.

Xbox Game Pass subscribers can now expand the Imperium of Mankind in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. And if you've got the need for speed, you can race to the checkered flag in the Formula One Championship in F1 24.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers on Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X now have access to free anime movies.

If Microsoft succeeds, Game Pass could come to Sony's PlayStation and give players a way to play Xbox's games on rival platforms for the first time.

If you're a Game Pass member and want to get Avowed installed and ready to go before launch, you can simply search for the game on your Xbox console, find the standard edition, and hit install. Alternatively, you can search for Avowed in the Xbox mobile app and download the game to your linked console.
