Microsoft introduced the Xbox Game Pass for those that would like to pay for a Netflix-like experience. It's basically a carbon copy of what PS4 Now is doing as well as Netflix does for movies, so far Microsoft introducing 100 titles including Halo 5: Guardians, Lego Batman, Saint's Row: Re-elected and more. The only thing about this service is whether people will pay more for a service like this when they pay $60 a year for Xbox Live however the price of entry matches Sony's subscription cost for it's PS4 Now service and Sony does pretty well although Sony only charges $50 a year for PSN so the question is whether users will find more value with Sony than Microsoft and whether Microsoft will have better success than Sony due to the player population.
Now Microsoft has said they plan to update the game selection every month and the selection does indeed look pretty good. The Xbox Live Subscription also is required to use this service, one can't just pay $9.99 and expect not to bypass the Xbox Live Subscription. It plans on telling more about the service at this year's E3 show that has completely opened to the public this year.
