Xbox Game Pass will add new exclusives like Halo and Sea of Thieves on day one

Microsoft announced today that Xbox Game Pass will now include exclusives from Microsoft Studios as they release.

This is a big upgrade for the subscription service, which gives users access to a library of over 100 Xbox One and Xbox 360 games for $10 a month. Now subscribers will be able to play upcoming exclusives like Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, and Sea of Thieves the day they come out. This will also include future titles in Microsoft’s biggest franchises, like Halo and Forza. Having these big, new games available immediately for Xbox Game Pass significantly increases its value.
