Microsoft’s Xbox team was going full throttle during the E3 2021 showcase today. It certainly helped that Bethesda’s a Xbox studio now. While the show was full of rapid-fire announcements one after the other (including a Series X mini fridge), the real star of the show was Game Pass. For everyone with an active Xbox Game Pass subscription, over 20 different games were announced, with many of them being day one inclusions.

For individual platforms, for example which games are available for Xbox Cloud Gaming, you can check the official wrapup in this YouTube video’s description. As a reminder, one Xbox Game Pass subscription comprises all three platforms, between console, cloud and PC. Not every game can trade save data across PC and console, so make sure you know what’s what before relying on your save data following you around!
