11 games are on the way
During today’s ID@Xbox Game Pass showcase, Microsoft confirmed a range of indie games that will join the subscription service’s Xbox One and PC library. Y’all need to play Yoku’s Island Express, you hear?

If the service stays consistent, Microsoft can hit the ground running for the next console generation.
