Xbox boasts of nominees in Game Pass
As always happens, the list of games that aspire to the different prizes is quite extensive because nothing else, but within the prize-giving event there are an infinite number of categories. So it is relatively simple that when you have a monthly subscription service with more than 400 games, some appear yes or yes among those who choose to take one of the statuettes.
And that is precisely what has happened. Microsoft has taken the list of games that it has on Xbox Game Pass, has compared them with all the nominees and has created a list with all the ones that you can try right now through its service, either on Xbox, PC in some cases and the cloud also in others. And the truth is that, although it is very good that you want to take a walk through most of them to have solid criteria about the fairness or not of a future award, we already tell you that from today until the start of the gala you will not be able to do much. progress on many of them by the number of hours it takes to finish them. But well, for attitude that does not remain.
