PC Game Pass is the new name of Xbox Game Pass for PC

11 Dec 2021

A mouthful is suddenly bite-sized.

PC Game Pass is the new name of Xbox Game Pass for PC, making it easier for users to understand the subscription service and saving writers like me from a whole bunch of unnecessary characters.

The Xbox Game Pass account took to Twitter with the tongue-in-cheek announcement as part of yesterday’s The Game Awards presentation.

Quickly afterward, the PC Game Pass Twitter account confirmed that players should expect new titles including Sniper Elite 5, Pigeon Simulator, Trek to Yomi and an unnamed title from Hugecalf Studios.

That means there are will three brands using the “Game Pass” moniker — Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which includes the first two sub packages. Got all that?

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
