Last Updated on April 22, 2022 by Anu Joy

Microsoft has announced that it is taking its PC Game Pass to five new countries in Southeast Asia. The company says one of its many goals is to create gaming communities for everyone on the planet. The PC Game Pass can now be enjoyed in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. 

Xbox Asia Business Lead, Jeremy Hinton, said:

 Bringing PC Game Pass to new countries in Southeast Asia is an important part of how we will achieve this as we strive to reach billions of players.

If you are from the aforementioned regions, you can sign up for the PC Game Pass and gain access to the service for three months at just $1 (approx. ₹76.30). After the initial three-month offer, you can subscribe for a low monthly fee. 

This would excite gamers in Southeast Asia as they will be able to access a game library of over 100 titles. Some popular games available are Minecraft, Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, Among Us, Mortal Kombat 11, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Sea of Thieves, and many more. They will also get an EA Play membership bundled with it.  

Microsoft intends to bring its PC Game Pass to more regions in the future. It is also planning to improve the overall experience for games by offering to add more games, region-specific subscriptions, and language support.  

The tech giant recently dropped its Xbox Game Pass subscription fees in India by around 28 percent across all tiers and plans. The new prices came into effect on April 1, 2022. The PC Game Pass, which was earlier available for ₹489 in India, is now down to ₹349. This makes the PC Game Pass the cheapest available Xbox gaming subscription in the country.
