Of course, those who play Minecraft through Game Pass will get all the same content and updates as those who buy the game through regular channels. We all expected this would happen eventually, given Microsoft own Minecraft, but it’s still a pretty big deal. Ah, but it was a big one – Minecraft is coming to Xbox Game Pass next month. Xbox Game Pass is separate from Project xCloud, which is Microsoft's upcoming game-streaming service that will enter public trials later this year.Microsoft’s Inside Xbox shows are usually packed with Xbox Game Pass reveals, but the most recent one, broadcast last evening, only featured a single announcement. It's only available on Xbox One, but Microsoft has talked about bringing it to every device.

The service costs $10 USD/month, but new subscribers can sign up for $1 USD/month. Minecraft is just the latest big-name game to come to Xbox Game Pass some of the other marquee titles include Halo 5 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection, as well as Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Just Cause 4, all the Gears of War games, Doom, and more.
