Best Gaming Memberships To Consider This Year

Video games is a booming industry and it can be hard to keep track of all of the new releases coming out constantly. It is easy to miss great video games titles in the chaos and it can be expensive trying to buy new releases all the time. Gaming memberships offer a solution to both problems by offering access to large libraries of excellent games, including classic titles, for far less than buying new releases. No matter your needs, there is a gaming subscription service that is for you. Here are a few of the best options available on the market.

Xbox One Pass
Xbox One Game Pass is a subscription service for Xbox One that has a library of more than 100 titles available for play on Xbox One or on PC’s that meet the system requirements. The library has a rotating list of games available including AAA titles, new releases, and indie titles. Games are downloaded to the system which allows for offline play. As of time of writing, there are three different types of subscriptions available: $4.99 a month offers PC only access to titles, $9.99 a month offers console only access to titles, and $14.99 offers PC & console access and includes Xbox Live Gold.

Playstation Now
