    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.

      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.
