Coming Soon to Xbox Game Pass: Forza Horizon 5, Minecraft: Bedrock and Java Editions, and More
We’re continuing the trend of bringing back-to-back blockbuster games to Xbox Game Pass and I’m absolutely here for it. I’m trying to contain my hype and not type in all capital letters but imagine me writing announcement this very loudly with pure excitement with each game coming soon.
If you haven’t tried Game Pass on Windows PC, now is the best time to join and check it out. Starting November 2, new Xbox Game Pass for PC members can get 3 months for just $1. This means you can play Age of Empires IV, Minecraft (both Bedrock and Java editions starting tomorrow), Forza Horizon 5, and Halo Infinite when they launch, and more on your PC this holiday season for just $1.
