Insert obvious comment here Allan
Xbox Game Pass is now headed to PC, Microsoft confirmed today. While the PC version will be separate from the Xbox One version, it will still have the support of developers like Bethesda, Deep Silver, Devolver, Paradox, and Sega.
The program will start with over 100 games, which is great, though naturally behind the Xbox One version. But Microsoft is working with over 75 developers to bring games to the PC version of the service. Moreover, if you plan to buy any of these games through the Microsoft Store, the service will provide a discount; 20% for games, and 10% for add-ons.
But that’s not all. Microsoft also plans on making Xbox Game Studios games available on other PC platforms upon release. And they’re starting with Steam.
Our intent is to make our Xbox Game Studios PC games available in multiple stores, including our own Microsoft Store on Windows, at their launch. We believe you should have choice in where you buy your PC games.

As for other storefronts?
We also know that there are other stores on PC, and we are working to enable more choice in which store you can find our Xbox Game Studios titles in the future.
When I think about the role we play as a company to support and evolve gaming on Windows, it’s critical that we make decisions that reinforce the open nature of the PC, focusing on how best to unite players on all devices around the games they love.

We know that PC gamers want to see games, so I hope you’ll join us at our annual Xbox E3 2019 Briefing on Sunday, 9th June to hear more, including the amazing lineup of new games and offers coming to PC players.
Microsoft also has plans to add full support to Win32 games on the Microsoft Store.
Either way, Microsoft plans to reveal more about their ambitious PC plans at E3 this year. The Microsoft presentation begins on June 9th, 1pm Pacific.
