As we approach the festive season, buying gifts for family and friends can be tough, especially if there is a gamer in your life and you know nothing about gaming. Yet Xbox has you covered with Xbox’s 12 Games of Christmas!
Xbox Game Pass has a wealth of big hits and hidden gems that allow for some short and sweet sessions this holiday season. From Triple-A games to some of the best indie games on the market, I have never seen a month I couldn’t find at least 2 of the newly added games I would play until I beat the game or until I rage quit.
For me, the Xbox Game Pass is a great way to test out games for pennies. I know I’m not the only one that has bought a game, added it to my collection and never played it or decided the game isn’t for me. It gets traded in or just sits there in my ‘I will play this one-day’ pile. With this, I get to try new games every month, at no risk to my bank account, and have a ball experiencing and playing games I may have never played otherwise.
If you have a gamer in your life or you don’t know which game to give your kids for Christmas, give them the gift that keeps on giving, the Xbox Game Pass.
Ps- my birthday was yesterday and Christmas is coming….. just saying, it’s a great gift idea!
