Microsoft\u2019s Xbox Game Pass<\/a> is a subscription service that offers on-demand access to dozens of games. It\u2019s a great value if you like to play and discover new games, and now that it\u2019s on PC<\/a> instead of solely being a console experience, your subscription can follow you from your Xbox console to your Windows desktop. <\/p>\n

However, the expansion to Windows PCs hasn\u2019t been seamless. While an Xbox lets you easily access your Game Pass right on the home dashboard, finding Game Pass games on a PC is a whole other story. <\/p>\n

There are two ways to find Game Pass games on PC. The first and easiest requires you to download a free app, though I think it will be worth the effort. The second method doesn\u2019t require any additional installations, but finding compatible Game Pass games is more cumbersome.<\/p>\n

First, get PC Game Pass<\/h2>\n

If you already subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate, congratulations, you already have access to PC Game Pass, and you can skip this step. For everyone else, start here. <\/p>\n

You can purchase a subscription to either PC Game Pass for $9.99 per month<\/a> or to Game Pass Ultimate for $14.99 per month<\/a>. The latter is Microsoft\u2019s everything-in-one bundle subscription that also includes Xbox Live Gold for online multiplayer on consoles and Game Pass for Xbox One consoles, as well as PC Game Pass. If you\u2019re a new subscriber, it\u2019s worth noting that you can get your first month of PC Game Pass for just $1.<\/p>\n

Access Game Pass games on PC via the Xbox app<\/h2>\n

This is the easiest, most user-friendly method of finding Game Pass games that will play on a PC. <\/p>\n
