Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that gives both Xbox and PC players access to a massive library of games. To keep things fresh, new titles are constantly being added while other games are removed in fortnightly chunks.
Last month, Microsoft added fourteen titles to the service including Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, Grounded 2, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 and Rise Of The Tomb Raider.
