ONE OF the biggest reasons Microsoft has been on a roll lately is the stupendous growth of its Game Pass service — a Netflix-like experience where you pay a monthly fee, and get to download a very large library of games.
In January, Microsoft reported that the service grew to 25 million subscribers, a number the tech giant gleefully bandied about when it acquired Activision Blizzard for an eye-watering sum of $69 billion.
Now, it’s ready to grow that subscriber base even further, as it opens up Game Pass to users in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
How to get PC Game Pass in the Philippines
In the Philippines, PC Game Pass is being offered for an introductory price of P49 a month for your first three months. Afterwards, the price will go up to P119 a month.
For many, it’s a fair price to pay for a chance to get an eat-all-you-can buffet of PC games, including day-and-date releases of the biggest titles. A selection of the must-play stuff you can download right now? Halo Infinite, Guardians of the Galaxy, Age of Empires IV, and Forza Horizon 5.
