Microsoft To Combine Xbox Live Gold With Xbox Game Pass [which just got Minecraft]

We just talked about the incredible sale of Minecraft in the past 10 years since it launched on PC, and it’s still rising. The sales will continue to get higher not just on PC, but also on more platforms if Microsoft will combine the two subscriptions into a single one.

As reported by Twitter user @h0x0d, we could see a new service from Microsoft called Xbox Game Pass Ultimate:

This person claims that the service will only be $14.99 per month, which is quite the bargain, considering Xbox owners will save almost $5 per month if Microsoft really wants to combine the services. As The Verge pointed out, Microsoft will certainly reveal something about this in the next weeks when they will unveil the disc-less Xbox One S All-Digital edition.

Why should we trust what @h0x0d tweeted?

It’s simple: it makes perfect sense, and it’s a good strategy, which has been used in the past by Microsoft. Remember the Xbox All Access subscription which bundled together with a leased Xbox One X, Xbox Live Gold, and Xbox Game Pass for $34.99/month? Probably that one-time offer was testing the reaction of users and how the bundling service was received by players.

Considering all the aggressive marketing around the Xbox Game Pass and the fact that the disc-less Xbox One is counting on the digital games offered through the Microsoft services, a bundle named Xbox Game Pass Ultimate isn’t far-fetched.

The games added to the Xbox Game Pass since it launched are Sea of Thieves and Crackdown 3, and Minecraft was recently added. Microsoft is also working on the xCloud streaming service to let players stream games on different platforms (PCs, smartphones/tablets, consoles).

Crackdown Is Now Free For Xbox, Ahead of Crackdown 3 Release Date

Microsoft is now offering free digital copies of Crackdown. This special offer seems to prepare the fans of the series for the Crackdown 3 release date which is scheduled for in about eight days.

Crackdown Is Now Free For Xbox

Crackdown rolled out initially for Xbox 360, and it has been a very successful release since its first days on the market. Over time, with the rollout of Xbox One and backward compatibility, Crackdown became playable on Xbox One systems, too.

When it first came out on Xbox 360, in 2007, Crackdown was quick to become a successful title. The superhero-style power fantasy gameplay attracted many players who became hooked on the title. Now, those who want to play the game again or gamers who have never had the chance to play Crackdown have the opportunity to get the title for free.

The Crackdown version for Xbox One would be an optimized variant of the original game, with improved graphics, 4K resolution, and modern performance enhancements for the game to load faster than on Xbox 360.

Crackdown 3 Release Date

Crackdown 3 is the next installment in the Crackdown franchise. The game will launch on February 15th of this year after its launch has been postponed since 2017 when the game should’ve come out, initially. Last summer, in 2018, Microsoft Studios delayed the Crackdown 3 release date once again, and last fall, the publisher announced the final release date – February 15th, 2019.

In Crackdown 3, players would once again impersonate powerful Agents in an open-world environment. The upcoming release of the series would sport both single-player and co-op modes. However, to play Crackdown 3 online, you must have an Xbox Live Gold subscription.

In conclusion, Crackdown, the first release in the series, is now free on Xbox, ahead of Crackdown 3 release date. Crackdown 3 would come out on February 15th, 2019, exclusively on Xbox One and Microsoft Windows.
