All Microsoft Games to Be On Xbox Game Pass on Release Day
Microsoft has announced that all games from Microsoft Studios will now be added to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service on their release day - beginning with Sea of Thieves.
Microsoft singled out Rare's online pirate adventure (out on March 20), adding that State of Decay 2, Crackdown 3, and unannounced games in the Halo, Forza and Gears of War franchises will all be included.
Launched last year, Game Pass is Microsoft's "Netflix-like" subscription service, which offers access to a selection of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games for a monthly fee.
Until now, higher-profile games - such as Gears of War 4 - took some time to reach the service. The service currently includes over 100 games.

Game of Thrones Cosplay to Strengthen Father-Son Bond

Rust Coming Out of Early Access in Feb., But Still Not Ready for Final Release
After over 4 years of being in Early Access on Steam, the survival game Rust is moving to the next stage in its development.
