Microsoft’s PC offer for Xbox Game Pass irks fans on the social media
It’s already known that the subscription service provides tons of appealing titles every month to players across the globe. While it tries to cater to console users, the PC platform never stays behind either, given the fact that Microsoft owns the Xbox brand.
Now considering the period from late 2021, there have been several top-notch games launching for the Xbox console as well as PC. They include the likes of Forza Horizon 5, Age of Empires IV, and also Halo Infinite.
And Microsoft just dropped a massive offer for all its PC gamers who recently became fresh members of the Game Pass. According to the new announcement, anyone who’s played Halo Infinite, Age of Empires IV, and Forza Horizon 5 before February 28th, 2022, can now enjoy Xbox Game Pass on PC for absolutely free.
Did you play Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, or Age of Empires IV on PC before 2/28?
To say thanks, we’re giving out 3 months of PC Game Pass for free to new members only at https://t.co/5Ci8bZ0gKm pic.twitter.com/wYZcWNZtCM

The most important thing to note here is that this free trial will be available for a period of three months. This is really huge considering that the subscription service offers around 100 titles each month.
Eligible PC players will be able to unlock exclusive Bethesda games as well, along with getting the benefit of EA Play.

Meanwhile, a majority of the gamers didn’t seem impressed with this gesture of Microsoft, of saying thanks to them. Most of the players expressed a disappointment towards the Game Pass saying that only new members will be getting it for free. On the other hand, existing and long-term subscribers won’t be getting anything out of it.
Other users were simply having no interest in the service as they thought it simply lacks good games. One angry fan wrote: “Had an XBOX but I sold it. Basically an L console imo”.

Finished Forza. Couldn't play Age of Empires and Halo anymore because the Game Pass App on PC is fundamentally broken. You should fix that.

If only they offered legit benefits to people like me who’ve been consistently a gold/gpu subscriber since the age of 11…I’m 24 now 🥲 where’s our 3 free months!? Where’s a loyalty program? All the benefits currently offered are pointless “new users only.” Give us actual perks!
