Microsoft has confirmed that it will bring the PC Game Pass to five countries in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, and for now the preview version of the service can be accessed .
For information, PC Game Pass is a service similar to Netflix and the like, but for games. So by paying a monthly "rental" fee, users can play the games available in the service.
In fact, the service is more popular on the Xbox, called the Xbox Game Pass. But apparently, since Microsoft does not officially sell Xbox in Indonesia, the service included is PC Game Pass, at least for now.
Microsoft's flagship games such as Minecraft, Forza Horizon 5, Age of Empires IV, Sea of Thieves, and Microsoft Flight Simulator can be played without the need to buy the game.
Of course, the flagship games Halo Infinite, Fallout, and The Elder Scrolls, which are made by Bethesda Softworks are also available here. The same goes for a series of games from EA Play such as FIFA, Battlefield, The Sims, and Mass Effect.
PC Game Pass has a treasury of more than 100 games, including games from Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda, and EA Play. The service is available in preview mode through the Xbox app on Windows for $ 1,500, while Microsoft improves the local payment system.
Because this is the first step in bringing access to PC Game Pass in Indonesia, players can also test and provide their input so that Microsoft can make improvements to all services. Microsoft also hopes to share more about how to join PC Game Pass when the service officially launches in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam later this year.
"At Xbox, our mission is simple, which is to bring the excitement and community of gaming to everyone on the planet. Bringing PC Game Passes to new countries in Southeast Asia is an important part of our efforts to achieve that mission as we reach billions of players, "said Jeremy Hinton, Xbox Asia Business Lead, in a statement we received.
"PC Game Pass has a large collection of high -quality studiogame, with experience from every genre. Xbox Insiders members will have the first chance to experience the value offered by PC Game Pass, and we hope to soon provide this service to more gamers," he added.
With the presence of this PC Game Pass, will Microsoft officially bring the Xbox to Indonesia? Let's just wait ..
