0:07
>> Welcome to this week on Xbox.
0:10
I'm your host, Larry Hryb
Xbox Live's Major Nelson.
0:13
Yes, it is a new year
and we're kicking off
0:16
2019 with an episode
devoted to Xbox Game Pass.
0:20
Whether you're new to Xbox
or a seasoned veteran with
0:23
a six-digit or maybe
seven-digit gamerscore,
0:25
Xbox Game Pass is definitely
worth checking out.
0:28
You get access to over 100 games.
0:31
That, my friends, is what we
call an instant game library.
0:35
Indies, shooters, platformers;
there's something for everyone.
0:40
Try new games, broaden
your horizons or
0:43
just play Forza Horizon 4
till the wheels come off.
0:46
Best of all, you'll be able to play
0:49
all first party Microsoft
exclusives at launch.
0:53
So that means on February 15th,
0:56
you can start playing Crackdown
3 with the rest of the world.
0:59
No pre-orders, no waiting in line,
1:01
no waiting for that package
to show up on your doorstep.
1:04
When we say "Insert
library," we mean it.
1:07
With so many great games
to pick from,
1:10
you may come down with an acute
case of download anxiety.
1:14
What do I play? Where do I start?
1:16
Do I need insurance?
1:17
Relax, Dr. Larry has
a prescription for you.
1:21
Here's a few titles to
cure all your ills.
1:24
There's the entire Halo
saga you can play through
1:27
the Master Chief
collection and then dive
1:29
straight into Halo 5: Guardians.
1:31
Fight through every
single Gears of War game.
1:34
Team up with friends for
plundering in Sea of Thieves or
1:38
struggle for survival in the
zombie nightmare State of Decay 2.
1:42
You want more? We have more.
1:44
Playerunknown's
Battlegrounds aka PUBG,
1:48
100 players drop into
battle and there's
1:51
only one chicken dinner for
the last person standing.
1:54
Or why not take on
the world in Rocket League.
1:57
Easy to learn and
difficult to master.
2:00
This is one of the world's most
popular games for a reason.
2:03
It's super fun and full
of nail-biting moments.
2:06
If you're a racing fan then you
definitely need to check out
2:09
the award-winning Forza Horizon 4
2:11
and explore a historic Britain
online with your friends.
2:15
You can experience
the breathtaking and
2:17
haunting HellBlade:
Senua's Sacrifice.
2:20
Equally breathtaking
the stylish platformer
2:23
Ori and the Blind Forest.
2:25
Retake a quarantined Manhattan
in Tom Clancy's The Division.
2:29
Explore the open world RPG Ashen
2:32
or try to puzzle out
the challenges of Human Fall Flat.
2:36
We've got unique 2D games like
the artsy bullet hell shooter,
2:40
Rise and Shine, which is equal
2:42
parts self-referential
and brutally challenging.
2:45
The grim survival game Sheltered,
2:48
which pits a nuclear family
against the apocalypse.
2:51
Find out what's really going on
2:52
inside that creepy house
across the street,
2:54
but don't get caught
in Hello Neighbor.
2:57
That's not all for Game Pass.
2:59
Several games were added this week,
3:01
including Life Is Strange
3:03
