What is Game Pass?

Xbox Game Pass is like a kind of Netflix for games. Microsoft offers you a subscription that includes over 100 games for Xbox consoles and PC. The offer is huge and growing steadily: In 2021 alone, games with a total value of over 5,000 € were added to the Game Pass.

How much does Game Pass cost?

The price is also attractive: On PC and Xbox consoles, Game Pass is available for €9.99 per month each. Game Pass Ultimate gives you access to PC and console games, as well as cloud gaming, and costs €12.99 per month. With our featured deals, you can get Game Pass for even less:

What makes Game Pass so good?

All genres are represented in Game Pass, from AAA shooters to story-heavy indie gems. Rainbow Six: Extraction has also been playable via the subscription service since launch day.

The shooter thus joins a long list of popular co-op games in Game Pass. This once again underlines that Game Pass is a great deal for co-op fans.

Game Pass makes Rainbow Six: Extraction a co-op hit

Why is Game Pass good for co-op fans?

Thanks to the Game Pass, players who might otherwise have ignored Rainbow Six: Extraction can really enjoy the shooter.

In the subreddit of Ubisoft’s co-op shooter, several voices are thus raised that have become fans of the game thanks to the Game Pass. It’s also striking how many of these voices probably wouldn’t have given the shooter a chance otherwise.

• Past19, for example, writes on reddit: “The fact that this game came on Game Pass is the best decision it could have made.”
• Also zeanox writes on reddit, “I would have never tried it without Game Pass, and I love the game.”

Such voices can also be heard in our community. MyMMO reader Materno said something like:

In a brand that stands for exciting, authentic special force missions, aliens are coming. That can’t be anything, I don’t want to like that. Aliens have no place in Tom Clancy.

What does it mean?

The case of Rainbow Six: Extraction exemplifies how good Game Pass is, especially for co-op fans. Since the subscription service makes it easier to try out new titles, players can discover more games for themselves. This is even more important for co-op games, because it makes it easier to convince your friends to try out a game.

And the selection of popular co-op games goes far beyond Ubisoft’s Alien Shooter.

Many co-op favorites from the MeinMMO community are in Game Pass

At the beginning of 2022, we at MeinMMO evaluated a survey among our readers to find out which co-op games are among your favorites. The result was a list of 25 co-op games for PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch that were high on your list at the beginning of 2022.

If you compare this list with the Game Pass offer, you will quickly notice how many overlaps there currently are.

The following titles from your top picks are also in Game Pass:

• A Way Out (No. 1)
• Minecraft (5th place)
• Sea of Thieves (6th place)
• Overcooked 2 (7th place)
• It Takes Two (Rank 11)
• Stardew Valley (Rank 17)
• ARK: Survival Evolved (Rank 18)
• Remnant: From the Ashes (Rank 21)
• Unravel Two (Rank 23)
• Outriders (Rank 24)
• Conan Exiles (Rank 25)

This means that 11 of the 25 games that you have chosen as your favorites are included in Game Pass – including the 1st place. With a hit rate of 44%, almost half of your favorite co-op games are currently in the subscription service.

Game Pass also includes other co-op hits such as Back 4 Blood, a favorite of our editorial team, indie classic Terraria, and Deep Rock Galactic, the absolute insider tip among co-op fans. And, most recently, Rainbow Six: Extraction.

Since Microsoft recently brought Activision Blizzard into the team in a spectacular purchase, Diablo 3 (which landed at number 3 in our top list) could also end up in Game Pass in the future. However, this is pure speculation; nothing like that has been officially confirmed.
