Minecraft Is Coming to Xbox Game Pass

Microsoft has been aggressively pushing its Xbox Game Pass subscription service lately. The company today announced that it’s bringing Minecraft to Xbox Game Pass, allowing subscribers to play the game for free on their Xbox One or Windows 10 device.

Minecraft will be joining other major titles like Forza, Crackdown, Sea of Thieves, and more on Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft has been constantly adding major titles to Xbox Game Pass over the last few months, and it’s getting major titles almost every month at this point.

    <p>Hopefully the "Super Duper" upgrade is getting closer to release, They are certainly trying to increase the value of Game Pass which would be a clear sign they plan to integrate that into a streaming service available for other platforms.</p>
