<div class="js-content-entity-body">
<p>Following its <a href="http://ift.tt/2rQn4V0">early release for Xbox Live Gold members (and testers before that)</a>, the <a href="http://ift.tt/2nK1ajp">Xbox One</a>&#8216;s Netflix-style subscription program, Xbox Game Pass, launched for everyone today.</p>
<p>Beginning today, everyone can sign up for an Xbox Game Pass membership, starting with a 14-day free trial. There are more than 100 Xbox One and <a href="http://ift.tt/2nMX7Hh">Xbox 360</a> games in the catalog, including <a href="http://ift.tt/2nUUMK3">Halo 5: Guardians</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/2o14Ka5">Gears of War: Ultimate Edition</a>, and <a href="http://ift.tt/2o4gH21">Payday 2</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/2ovo3su">BioShock Infinite</a>, and so many more. You don&#8217;t stream the games, but instead download them, so you may want to consider investing in an external hard drive solution if you&#8217;re planning to pick up a lot of the games.</p>
</p>
<p>Microsoft has said it plans to add more games to the catalog every month, and some could drop out. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re enjoying a game and want to own it permanently, you&#8217;ll save 20 percent on game purchases and 10 percent on DLC. This only applies to Xbox One games and expansions.</p>
<p><span>You can sign up for Xbox Game Pass </span><a href="http://ift.tt/2lROBV3" rel="nofollow">here</a><span>, while Microsoft will offer subscription cards at brick-and-mortar retailers later this year.</span></p>
<p><span>It appears Xbox Game Pass is off to a good start, as Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said <a href="http://ift.tt/2rdzXe9">initial sign-ups were &#8220;really strong.&#8221;</a></span></p>
<p>You can see all of the Xbox Game Pass titles <a href="http://ift.tt/2rQpEdw">right here</a>.</p>
