The Xbox Game Pass service from Microsoft has included a new day-one launch, “Commandos: Origins,” in its continually evolving selection of games. With the recent disclosure of Nintendo Switch 2’s pricing and game costs, more people are acknowledging the benefits of an Xbox Game Pass subscription, even those who hadn’t given it much thought before.

Xbox Game Pass comes in four levels: PC, Core, Standard, and Ultimate. The PC and Ultimate versions provide numerous day-one games, making them perfect for those eager to play fresh releases right away. However, the other categories have their own perks too, such as online multiplayer options and member benefits like discounts. With a Core subscription, you get access to a selection of 25 console games that changes over time, while the Standard tier boasts hundreds of titles for your gaming pleasure.

Game Pass subscribers at PC and Ultimate tiers can now play “Commandos: Origins”, which was launched on April 9th. The Commandos series originally consisted of five real-time tactics games, released between 1998 and 2006. Notably, “Commandos 2” and “3” received HD remasters in 2022. Therefore, “Commandos: Origins” marks the first new game in the series in about two decades, sparking excitement among fans since its development by Claymore Game Studios was announced.
