Microsoft is banking hard that a subscription service like this is the future of gaming, with the recent acquisition of Zenimax and proposed purchase of Activision Blizzard eyed to keeping the Game Pass content pipeline chugging along. Game Pass consistently adds great games every month, with recent favorites like Death’s Door, Psychonauts 2, Forza Horizon 5, and It Takes Two arriving on the service over the last year. Microsoft’s Netflix-style subscription service lets you download hundreds of games for your Xbox or PC for as little as $10 a month, and as long as you subscribe they’ll always be on your dashboard, waiting to be played. While an earlier report this year revealed that less than 1% of Netflix subscribers actually download games from the growing library, Netflix has said that it's seeing "some encouraging signs of gameplay" that is leading to higher retention from its subscriber base.Xbox Game Pass has long been a bargain. The company has 55 games currently in development, some of which are based on existing Netflix IPs, and the streaming platform also wants to create more synergy between its media formats, similar to how the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime series helped boost the profile of Cyberpunk 2077 this year.
Available for free to subscribers, the company has focused on ports of cult-classic games such as Into the Breach and is also investing heavily in developing its own original titles. Netflix's gaming section, which it launched at the end of 2021, has seen a major expansion throughout 2022. "It's similar to its predecessors, Telling Lies and Her Story, in some key ways, but more thought-provoking, too, and certainly more unnerving than you'll be prepared for." "The latest game from Sam Barlow and Half Mermaid builds on what you've come to expect while also subverting its own genre in clever ways," Mark Delaney wrote in GameSpot's Immortality review.
