Xbox has announced that PC Game Pass is now available to 40 new countries around the world.
This will come in the form of a preview program, so you need to download the Xbox Insider Hub to register, then pay a “special testing price” for the first month.
If it’s anything like last year’s PC Game Pass preview program offered to countries in Southeast Asia, it won’t be long until the rest of the public can easily subscribe to the service.
The 40 new countries getting PC Game Pass are:
- Albania
- Algeria
- Bahrain
- Bolivia
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Bulgaria
- Costa Rica
- Croatia
- Cyprus
- Ecuador
- Egypt
- El Salvador
- Estonia
- Georgia
- Guatemala
- Honduras
- Iceland
- Kuwait
- Latvia
- Libya
- Liechtenstein
- Lithuania
- Luxembourg
- Malta
- Moldova
- Montenegro
- Morocco
- Nicaragua
- North Macedonia
- Oman
- Panama
- Paraguay
- Peru
- Qatar
- Romania
- Serbia
- Slovenia
- Tunisia
- Ukraine
- Uruguay
Last year, Xbox made the same efforts to expand Game Pass into more countries in Southeast Asia. But this year, the expansion scope is even larger, country-count-wise. This will put the total of countries with PC Game Pass support to 86.
Game Pass is a good deal (at least for now while the subscription price is affordable). It gives access to about 100 games that you can download and play, with all Xbox first-party titles (as well as Bethesda games now that they are under Microsoft ownership) guaranteed to arrive on the service on day-1 of launch.
Now, if only Microsoft also expands the support of Xbox console at more countries as well…
