Doom Eternal is coming to Xbox Game Pass


You can slay while you play

Doom Eternal is heading to Xbox Game Pass, which makes a very good shooter available for a fairly low fee. Microsoft made the announcement on its official blog Thursday. Doom Eternal will be included in the subscription for consoles starting Oct. 1, and additionally become available on Game Pass for PC before the end of 2020.

A follow-up to the 2016 relaunch of Doom, Doom Eternal brings back the Slayer with all of his heavy armor and powerful weapons. Players have to start killing demons again, which is what the Slayer does best, and the campaign goes to Earth, Mars, and Hell in the pursuit of finding demons and then — you guessed it — slaying them.

Doom Eternal also has a multiplayer component, which sets up an asymmetrical match between various powerful miniboss demons and a Slayer. A DLC pack for the campaign, The Ancient Gods, is en route, which will expand the single-player experience.


Microsoft recently acquired the publisher of Doom Eternal, Bethesda Softworks, in a massive $7.5 billion deal. Microsoft acquired the Doom franchise with its purchase of ZeniMax Media, as well as Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Prey, and several more properties.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can get two months of free anime


Funimation Premium Plus is the latest Game Pass Ultimate Perk



Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offers Xbox and Windows PC players plenty of benefits for its subscription price, and that isn’t just limited to a game library. Starting on Friday, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can get two free months’ worth of a subscription to Funimation Premium Plus, the highest tier of the company’s anime streaming service.

Funimation Premium Plus gives anime fans access to Funimation’s entire streaming library, including English dubs and simulcast shows. At the moment, the service offers series like Naruto, Black Clover, and My Hero Academia that Premium Plus members can stream ad-free. The Game Pass Ultimate offer includes 60 free days of a Premium Plus subscription, but it is available only to new Funimation subscribers.


The free offer comes by way of Game Pass Ultimate Perks, which give players bonuses on top of the games they already get from the program. The perks include promotions like a few months of Discord Nitro for free, as well as some in-game bonuses, like free DLC or special armor and cosmetics.
Unfortunately, it seems that this perk can only be redeemed from an Xbox One console or the Xbox mobile app. PC subscribers can normally get Game Pass Ultimate perks through the official Windows 10 Xbox app, but as of this writing, the Funimation offer isn’t available in the PC app. The promotion is available from Sept. 25 until Oct. 24.

Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle remasters coming to Xbox One this month


Arriving in time for Halloween via Xbox Game Pass





Double Fine Productions’ remasters of three classic LucasArts adventure games — Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, and Full Throttle — will be available Oct. 29 to Xbox Game Pass subscribers, studio head Tim Schafer announced during an interview with Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb on the Xbox Podcast.

Game Pass members will be able to play the trio of games on Android (with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate), Windows 10 PC, and Xbox One. Android availability indicates that the games will also be streamable via Microsoft’s xCloud service, which launched last month as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

All three titles will also be released the same day, Oct. 29, as stand-alone games on Xbox One for $14.99 each. This will mark the debut of these three remasters on Xbox One; they were initially released as PlayStation exclusives on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, with versions also available on iOS, Linux, Mac, and PC. Schafer, who himself was one of the lead developers on all three of the original games at LucasArts, announced in May that the remasters were on their way to Xbox One. Microsoft announced at E3 2019 that it had acquired Double Fine.


Grim Fandango Remastered received its brush-up in 2015, with Day of the Tentacle Remastered a year after that, and Full Throttle Remastered following in 2017. The original games were published during the 1990s, and the faithful remasters brought the adventures of Bernard Bernoulli, Manny Calavera, and Ben the Biker Gang Leader to a new generation of players. Now Game Pass customers will be able to dig into some classic adventure game action without shelling out an extra buck.

Rainbow Six Siege joins Xbox Game Pass lineup in October


The tactical shooter will join Xbox Game Pass on Oct. 22



Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege will join the Xbox Game Pass lineup on Oct. 22, Microsoft announced Monday.

Players with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will be able to play Rainbow Six Siege using cloud gaming, on Android devices, as well.

Rainbow Six Siege is a widely popular multiplayer tactical shooter, involving dozens of unique characters to play as. The game is more slow-paced and involves using destructible environments to help shape your win.


The game usually retails for around $20, so now is a great time to try the game out if you’ve never gotten a chance to play before.

EA Play games recently were added to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate library, and big titles like Tales of Vesperia and Age of Empires 3 continue to get added to the pass.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate gives players access to both the PC and Console Game Pass games, as well as the xCloud streaming service for $14.99 a month. New subscribers will get their first month for $1. The Xbox-only version of the Game Pass costs $9.99 a month, while the PC only version costs $4.99 a month.

yar, I have a question, is it possible to get Games Pass for PC in Pakistan? if yes then how? and is it possible to get it free for trial or something?

 

[Thugnificent]

I got it last year, but i had a US credit card. I am sure you can get it if you have an international credit card attached to your MS account. If you haven't had it before, it should come with a $1 for the first month offer.

Xbox Game Pass adds Doom Eternal, Control, and 15 more games in December


Microsoft packs the library



Xbox Game Pass subscribers looking to test out the service’s new preinstalling feature will find December is jam-packed with candidates. Control and Doom Eternal kick things off on Dec. 3, and they’re followed by offerings as diverse as Dragon Quest 11’s Definitive Edition, and the motorsports precision sim Assetto Corsa.

In all, 17 games are coming to Xbox Game Pass in the week between Thursday, Dec. 3 and Dec. 10. Many of them are from Microsoft’s ID@Xbox promotion for indie games — including Slime Rancher, Yes, Your Grace (a kingdom management RPG), Call of the Sea, Superhot: Mind Control Delete, and Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair.

In addition to Doom Eternal, Microsoft has also peeled off Rage 2 (for Android streaming) from Bethesda’s library. And eight more games will get touch-control optimization for streaming to Android, including Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Golf With Your Friends, and Ikenfell. And on Dec. 10, PC subscribers will get access to EA Play’s library of games.


Leaving the library this month: eFootball PES 2020 for Xbox One on Dec. 11; Metro: Last Light Redux for PC on Dec. 15; The Turing Test for both on Dec. 15, and Untitled Goose Game on console on Dec. 15. Game Pass subscribers may buy these games at discount before they leave the library.

Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (which bundles Xbox Live Gold with Game Pass) also can get a free 30-day trial to Disney Plus (if they’re a new subscriber) and the pro rasslin’/Gears 5 crossover that put tag team The New Day in the multiplayer avatar lineup. Xbox Wire has more details.

Just checked mine and it's showing $14.99 a month I guess it's for new subscribers or the ones not currently on active subscription.

I was currently on GP and got upgraded to GPU for 3 months for just $1, maybe it's for only GP subscribers.
