Xbox Game Pass Coming to Japan and Korea, Gets New Titles

Microsoft is announcing some new updates to its Xbox Game Pass subscription this month. As usual, the company is adding new titles to the Xbox Game Pass catalog. At the same time, it’s taking away some of the older titles.

But more importantly, Xbox Game Pass is now coming to more countries. Microsoft announced on Tuesday it’s bringing Xbox Game Pass to Korea and Japan on April 13. The launch will bring Xbox Game Pass to two very large Asian markets, adding to its existing list of supported regions.
