I don\u2019t think anyone was expecting it to launch quite so quickly after Apple\u2019s own service but here we are &#8211; say hello to <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/about\/play-pass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Play Pass<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kNl21sqNCFs?controls=0]<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going to be landing in the US this week, and will have 350 games and apps available to use. The base price is $4.99 but for a limited time you can get a 10-day free trial plus your first 12 months for $1.99 a month, which is a pretty decent launch offer. You have until <strong>October 10th<\/strong> to take advantage of it.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t have a complete list of games that\u2019ll be available yet, although more will get added every month apparently. Not everything will be brand-new or \u2018bespoke\u2019 for GPP &#8211; a lot of games will have been out for a while. You may even own some already as the trailer shows games like <em>Stardew Valley<\/em>, <em>Reigns: Games of Thrones<\/em> and <em>Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The main selling point of the Play Pass is that games featured via this platform won\u2019t have any ads or IAPS. Existing games that have these and go on Play Pass will simply have them removed or disabled.<\/p>\n<p><em>That\u2019s all we know right now &#8211; we\u2019ll let you know more (including any news regarding International roll-out) as soon as we can.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Joe Robinson 24 Sep 2019 It\u2019s been no secret that Google has been working on their own subscription service, for all the attention Apple Arcade has been getting.
