Starfield is Leading the Charge with Xbox Game Pass
Not too long ago, Phil Spencer stated that he wanted Starfield to be the most played Todd Howard game to date. These are no doubt big boots to fill, with games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 under his belt too, but Starfield has a secret weapon: Xbox Game Pass.

With various deals, it’s constantly stacked with third-party games, but how it pushes first-party games is going to matter most.

With this plan is in full effect, which could begin this year and well into next, fans are going to see a constant influx of first-party games on Xbox Game Pass.
Starfield is a big get, no matter how one looks at it, and that’s not to ignore Redfall which will launch on Game Pass sometime this summer
