I'm excited to share that we're working with Ubisoft to bring even more incredible games to the Game Pass library! In the next two months, Assassin's Creed Origins will join the library for cloud, console, and PC via Ubisoft Connect app. We will also bring For Honor: Marching Fire Edition to PC via Ubisoft Connect app, and upgrade to the Marching Fire Edition for cloud and console
As a part of our mission to bring the joy and community of gaming to everyone on the planet, we're excited to announce PC Game Pass is now available in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. All PC players can get started for three months for $1 (USD).
This marks a beginning for Xbox in Southeast Asia, and we are excited to provide gamers in the region with another option to discover games and play with friends at a great value. Once players complete their initial three months for $1 (USD), PC Game Pass will then be available for one low monthly price.
"Our goal is to bring PC Game Pass to more countries where Windows is available to help us reach over 3 billion gamers worldwide. We are off to a strong start in Southeast Asia where we saw great demand for PC Game Pass during the preview period. We are listening to the players and are always looking to improve the experience. This includes growing the selection of games across genres and providing better language support," says Jeremy Hinton, Xbox Asia Business Lead.
PC Game Pass includes exciting games like Age of Empires IV, Back 4 Blood, Forza Horizon 5, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, Hades, Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, and Microsoft Flight Simulator, among others. This includes new Xbox Game Studios titles on day one like Halo Infinite, as well as iconic franchises like, DOOM, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, and The Evil Within from Bethesda Softworks, independent games, and blockbusters. EA Play is also included with the service, featuring some of the world's biggest franchises including FIFA, Battlefield, The Sims, and Mass Effect.
We look forward to welcoming PC game players from Southeast Asia to the Game Pass community

Sony unveils new subscription tiers:
UPDATE: All-new PlayStation Plus launches in June with 700+ games and more value than ever
PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now come together; players can choose from three flexible options.
Yes, I'm not sure why the price reduction for combining PSNow into PS Plus took so long, because that's all this is, but yes, it makes sense.I'm surprised it took them this long to catch up. Better late than never, though. The future of subscription based gaming is here now.
VGChartz said:The Nintendo Switch is the best-selling console of 2022 in terms of units sold, while the Xbox Series X|S is number one in terms of dollar sales.
The Xbox Series X|S set two new records for the Xbox platform in March 2022, in terms of units sold and dollar sales. The previous records were set in March 2011 for units sold and March 2014 for dollar sales. The previous record for units sold was 433,000 units, which means the Xbox Series X|S sold above this figure for the month.
Otherwise, this is lipstick on a pig. They aren't releasing major IPs on Day 1 to the service, and every downloadable game they're adding is a PS4 or PS2 game, so # all the jokes previously aimed at the XSX about "muh backwards compatibility". That's been a flourish of their marketing. Notice they say, "PS4 and PS5" games, but to date, a full year and a half after the PS5's launch, there still hasn't been a single 9th gen game added to PSNow, and it looks like the service will retire without having ever added a single one. There are currently 370 downloadable games on PSNow, and almost every single one is a PS4 game.
Almost none:How many PS5 exclusive games are there, though? Serious question. I know there's the Demons Souls remake, and likely a few smaller titles that don't immediately stand out, but I'm struggling to think of even a handful of big true next gen games. On either system for that matter. Seems like damn near everything has been cross gen. I can't say that not having PS5 games on the service is a huge deal as of now.
Direct Link:CDKeys is now offering 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $26.19 with free digital delivery. Regularly $45 and currently selling for $40 at Amazon, this is the lowest price we can find to extend your existing subscription right now and is $0.50 below our previous mention. While we have seen slightly lower prices from not so trustworthy digital retailers, CDKeys is a notable option we have featured loads of times over the years. When the 3-month subscription comes down this low, there’s no telling how long the discounted price might stick around for so grab it now if you need an extension to your existing subscription.

Nah, no correlation there. It's about when EA rescinds the latest installment from their EA Pro to their Play tier.FIFA 22 is one of the free PlayStation plus games of the month. Not sure if that would make it less likely or more likely to be on Gamepass the same month.
