With the holidays done and for those lucky people who got a new Xbox One for Christmas, there’s been a big change.

What’s better — one game that costs around $60 or $100 or more games for only $10?

Microsoft gave gamers an early present when their subscripti­on service launched earlier last year. “Game Pass” costs you around $10 a month with a $10 discount if you buy six months at a time. For this small investment of your funds, players can access a huge list of games that you can download and start playing.

One thing I need to make clear is these aren’t demos and promos, but full-release games.

You have a huge list of Xbox 360 titles, indie games and Xbox One games.

All the newest first-party games such as “Forza Horizon 4” and “State of Decay” are here. “Crackdown 3,” which launches in February, will arrive on day one on the Game Pass system.

Even titles like the “Division, Hellblade,” “Sea of Thieves,” “Fallout 4,” plus tons of full titles will be available to download and play.

With the addition of a special one-month pass for a price of $1 to try the service, this is by far the best bargain in gaming.

If you’re looking to get that gamer in your life something for their birthday, a late Christmas present or Valentine’s Day gift, why not buy them Game Pass, which offers tons of games like the “Master Chief Collection” which has all the Halo games in one collection.
