One of the best features of Xbox Game Pass is to play the second latest game to be released. Get instant access to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Doom: The Dark Ages on Day One is fantastic.
However, there are times when you don’t want to play the latest games. Instead, you might want to travel down memory lanes and experience the classics.
If that’s the type of person, I have great news. In collaboration with Antstream Arcade, Xbox brings over 50 classic retro games to the game pass.
Above all, retro games are a journey through Activision’s past catalogues, including Commando, Grand Prix, and Pitfalls!
“This initiative is a step towards game preservation and backward compatibility, allowing players to experience many timeless games on the latest devices,” said Dean Shinabukuro, product marketing manager for Xbox Services Marketing, in a press release.

Above all, Xbox and Antstream arcades add quality of life and updates to these classic games. “With retro classics, Game Pass members can expect a seamless gaming experience across consoles, PCs and cloud gaming support devices,” the press release said.
You can also corner your achievements, take on unique challenges, and fight with friends.
Microsoft says this is just the beginning and we can expect more classic games from the future Activision and Blizzard libraries.
