Microsoft Boosts Game Pass on the Xbox One Dashboard, Launches Official Clubs

Microsoft is giving Xbox Game Pass, it’s $9.99 a month game subscription service, a huge boost on the Xbox One. The firm is replacing the Entertainment tab on the Xbox One dashboard with a new Game Pass, putting the service right in the forefront of the Xbox One dashboard.

Microsoft says one of the top feedback from Xbox Game Pass subscribers was the ability to access Xbox Game Pass content faster, and so by giving Game Pass a dedicated tab, the company is able to make that happen. The firm said more and more subscribers are increasingly checking out what new games are added to Game Pass every month, and so the new dedicated tab should help. For those who used the Entertainment tab, Microsoft is encouraging users to find entertainment content through the Microsoft Store, or the Movies & TV apps.

The company is also launching some new official clubs for Xbox One today. There are new Official Clubs for Halo and Minecraft, where Xbox One gamers can discover the latest news, connect with others in the community, know more about game updates, etc. Clubs on the Xbox One are a great social feature, and these Official Clubs should help lure in more users into the Xbox One community.

    <p>the only thing that prevents me from joining the Game Pass is that I don't have too much time to play, and would hate to start a new game that gets de-listed and left unfinished.</p><p><br></p><p>While true that the pass gives access to a low more games, a year's worth of game pass is about two full games, three of bought during a sale, and that is just about what I manage to complete per year.</p>
