In a big announcement today, Microsoft is going to include Microsoft Studios titles.  This means games like State of Decay, Crackdown 3, and even Sea of Thieves will be part of the Xbox Gamepass.  This is great news for subscribers and gamers in general.  If you were planning on buying a game like Halo or Gears of War then it makes sense to purchase half a year of the gamepass.  A part of this that went under the radar is that Microsoft will also begin selling 6 month passes for 59.99.  This is the cost of a new game.  I don't think that is a coincidence.
