The service, "Xbox Game Pass", will allow subscribers to
download games directly to a console and play them online as
well as offline, Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, said in a blog
post.
The subscription will only be available on Microsoft's Xbox One
videogame console and devices running its Windows 10 operating
system.
The service, which will launch later this spring, will include
games such as "LEGO Batman", Microsoft's "Halo 5: Guardians" and
Take-Two Interactive Software Inc's "NBA 2K16".
"Xbox Game Pass" subscribers will also be able to buy games in
the catalog at a discount.
