 "Xbox Game Pass brings a train of nostalgia with 'Retro Classics' collection")
Microsoft Game Pass subscription will now feature a new “Retro Classics” collection, which essentially is a game library that includes Commando, Kaboom, Pitfall, Grand Prix, and more than 50 other Activision titles from the 1980s and 1990s. The addition of this new collection will not cost any extra to consumers who subscribe to the Game Pass.
Retro Classics availability
Microsoft Xbox, in its blog post, wrote: “With Retro Classics, Game Pass members can expect a seamless gaming experience across console, PC, and on supported devices with cloud gaming.”
It added: “Whether playing on Xbox console, the Xbox app on PC, or streaming on supported LG and Samsung Smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV devices, and Meta Quest headsets, Retro Classics offers a versatile and accessible way to enjoy these nostalgic titles. Game Pass members can access Retro Classics through their Game Pass membership by searching and installing the feature via their console or on the Xbox app on PC.”
