Microsoft announced that it made available for the first time a preview of PC Game Pass to five Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Players can now register for the PC Game Pass preview, giving them access to a library of over 100 high-quality games including new Xbox Game Studios releases on day one, iconic Bethesda games, and an EA Play membership for one low monthly price.
“At Xbox, our mission is simple: to bring the joy and community of gaming to everyone on the planet,” said Jeremy Hinton, Xbox Asia Business Lead. “Bringing PC Game Pass to more countries in Southeast Asia is an important part of how we will achieve this as we strive to reach billions of players.”
To get started, players must download the Xbox Insider app from the Microsoft Store on Windows. After signing into the app using one’s Microsoft account, navigate the Previews tab and join the PC Game Pass Southeast Asia Market Expansion preview. Players can then trial PC Game Pass for P5 for the duration of the preview.
As the preview serves as the first step in bringing access to PC Game Pass in the region, participants can share their feedback to allow Microsoft to make improvements across the service. The company is looking to launch the service in full later this year.
PC Game Pass launched in 2019 and was built from the ground up in partnership with the PC gaming community to give gamers the ultimate freedom to discover and play a highly curated library of great games.
PC Game Pass includes Minecraft, Forza Horizon 5, Age of Empires IV, Sea of Thieves and Microsoft Flight Simulator, among others. Meanwhile, new Xbox Game Studios titles on day one covers Halo Infinite, as well as iconic franchises like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls from Bethesda Softworks, independent games and blockbusters. EA Play is also included with the service, featuring some of the world’s biggest franchises including FIFA, Battlefield, The Sims and Mass Effect.
“PC Game Pass features a large library of high-quality titles from diverse game studios, with experiences from every genre,” Hinton said. “Xbox Insiders will get the first opportunity to experience the value that PC Game Pass offers, and we look forward to making the service available to more gamers soon.”
