One of the most popular due to many rumors was Square Enix, although many were reluctant due to the close proximity to SonyPlayStation.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 was released on Xbox Game Pass in the last few days, an important title for Square Enix and for many players, and it would seem don't be the only one in the pipeline on the service.

What is Xbox Game Pass, what games do you get and how much does it cost?
(Pocket-lint) - Microsoft has a couple of subscription services for owners of the Xbox One, Xbox Series X or Series S.
Xbox Live Gold is a monthly membership plan that is required for online play and, while it gives you a couple of free games a month, that's its primary purpose.
On the other hand, Xbox Game Pass is the firm's service that gives you access to hundreds of games for just one monthly fee.
They can each be paid for separately, but the best news is that you can also get both, plus Xbox Game Pass for PC, EA Play, xCloud gaming and access to exclusive game discounts for a much cheaper price.
Here's everything you need to know about Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
What is Xbox Game Pass?
Xbox Games Pass gives you access to well over 300 games to download and play on your Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S for one monthly fee.
If you upgrade to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you also get Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass for PC, EA Play and access to Xbox's Cloud Gaming service (formerly called Project xCloud), all for the same price.
You can download the games and play them as often as you like, as long as you continue to pay the monthly fee. Some titles might become unavailable as others are added, but you also have the option of buying any of the collection outright at discounted prices.
Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and original Xbox games are part of the line-up, the latter two through backward compatibility, so there are plenty of top titles to choose from.
Microsoft adds releases of its own games as soon as they are made available in the shops, including many of the Bethesda titles after its acquisition in March 2021.
The included Xbox Live Gold also gives subscribers exclusive discounts on many games on the Xbox Store.
How much does Xbox Game Pass cost?
Xbox Games Pass Ultimate is priced at $14.99/£10.99 a month. You can cancel at any time.
As mentioned, it includes Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Games Pass for PC and, more recently, EA Play. Plus, Microsoft's cloud service, xCloud Gaming, is part of Ultimate at no extra cost.
The standard console-only version of Games Pass doesn't include Gold, EA Play, xCloud Gaming or the PC version. It costs $9.99/£7.99 a month. It's the same price for the PC-only version when subscribed to separately. Ultimate is clearly the better deal.
What games are part of Xbox Game Pass?

Some might be switched in future for other games, but here is the current list of all the games that are currently available:
