Ahead of Microsoft's E3 2019 press conference, an official website has gone live launching Xbox Game Pass for PC in open beta, which will cost $5/month (£4) for a limited time.
This is half the current cost of the subscription service on Xbox consoles, and it won't stay this way. Those who have subscribed will receive a 30-day notice before the price reverts to the console cost of $10/month.
Xbox announced the PC version of the service last month (https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-05-30-microsoft-to-launch-xbox-game-pass-on-pc), revealing it as similar to the console service but with a more "curated" selection. In addition, new games from Microsoft's internal studios will be released on Xbox Game Pass for PC on their release days.
Games listed as coming to Xbox Game Pass PC at launch include Forza Horizon 4, Hello Neighbor, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, We Happy Few, and Ark: Survival Evolved. Gears 5, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and Ori and the Will of the Wisps will also come to the service.
The service is live now and at a further discount of $1 for the first month.
