Global games

In an attempt to beat MS Flight Sim’s world tour of countries, Game Pass is now expanding to more places. Microsoft has launchedPC Game Passin 40 new countries, after releasing a preview version earlier this year. Those of you who participated in the preview will be treated to two free months of PC Game Pass, “no further action needed.”

The following countries now have access to PC Game Pass:

To celebrate, new subscribers in those countries will receive a special offer for their first three months of Game Pass. The offer is only available for a limited time, and you can check local pricing over at the officialPC Game Pass website.

The list of titles included in Game Pass is more-or-less the same in every country, although there are a few exceptions. Some smaller games don’t enjoy global releases and some countries have unfair content restrictions, locking games out of the territory. Don’t Nod’sTell Me Why, for instance, isn’t available in many countries where Game Pass is supported, even though it’s a Microsoft-published game.

Otherwise, new Game Passers can enjoy the same rotating list of games.April’s listof additions has included the tower defenderIron Brigade, while the spookyGhostwire: Tokyohits the service today. The rest of the month will bringCoffee Talk: Episode 2 and spin-offMinecraft Legends, whichOllie calleda “curious blend of action adventure and RTS, one that shares Minecraft’s focus on exploration, but guides the player down a stricter, simpler path.”
