YOU can bag an almost endless supply of games for just £8 per month.
It’s part of the very tempting Xbox Game Pass subscription, which is available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S and PC.

The platform has been described as “Netflix for game”, giving you access to a library of more than 100 games.
Curranty, members can download Gears 5, Football Manager 2021, Final Fantasy 12, Dirt 5 and more.
You can play the games on offer for as long as you continue to pay for the service.
New games are added all the time, and members even get access to Xbox’s own Game Studio titles on the day of release.

Better still, there are exclusive member discounts as well as additional in-game content.
Launched in 2017, Game Pass has quickly become a hugely popular way for joypad addicts to bolster their games library.
Xbox Game Pass costs £7.99 a month and is the lowest tier of Microsoft’s subscription plans.
If you’re willing to splash out a bit of extra cash each month, you get access to Game Pass Ultimate.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X – when did they launch and how much do they cost?
Microsoft launched the Xbox Series X and its smaller, cheaper sibling, the Series S, on November 10.
The release date covered the UK, US, Australia and a bunch of other countries worldwide.
The disc-free Series S costs £249/$299, while the Xbox Series X comes in at £449/$499.
So how does that compare to the new Xbox’s biggest rival, the PlayStation 5?
The PS5 launch fell on November 12, but not everywhere.
That date only stood for the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea.
UK gamers had to wait until November 19 to order one of the consoles.
The PS5 proper costs £449.99/$499.99, while the digital edition comes in at £359/$399.
Ultimate is the top tier of Xbox’s Game Pass options – available to Xbox One, Series X-gen consoles owners and PC gamers.
Where Ultimate stands apart from the regular Game Pass though, is its inclusion of Xbox Live Gold – worth £6.99 a month on its own.
Xbox Live Gold is required for multiplayer gaming on Xbox, but it also includes specific discounts and access to monthly free games.
Game Pass Ultimate definitely provides maximum options for gamers wanting access to new titles and additional content.
