Xbox Game Pass for PC hits general release next week, meaning that the introductory price is no longer applicable, and going forward subscribers will pay the full amount.

We're retiring the introductory price on the 17th, but if you're already a member, you'll pay the same rate through the next billing cycle. look out for a notification on the 17th to get more detailsSeptember 9, 2020

EA deal
For the money, you get access to over 100 PC games, and the sweetener that comes along with this price increase is that subscribers now also get EA Play games included in the package.
That means a good deal more smart games and famous franchises are now available via the Xbox Game Pass for PC, including the likes of FIFA 20, Anthem, Titanfall 2, and not forgetting The Sims offerings.
If you’re tempted to take the plunge, even though the introductory price offer no longer applies – and let’s face it, this subscription is still great value for money – we’ve got a full guide on how to set up the service.
