Okay, Microsoft, what bad karma are you trying to negate? The company is not only bringing several of its games to Steam, relinquishing them from Windows Store purgatory, but it’s also bringing its Game Pass to PC now. That’s a previously-unforeseen level of love for PC gamers.

Microsoft revealed via Xbox Wire it’s bringing its subscription service to the PC. For those of you who don’t have an Xbox One, the Game Pass allows you to play 100+ Xbox One and 360 games locally on your device (as opposed to streaming, as with PS Now) for about $10 per month. The service first launched two years ago, and, according to Xbox head Phil Spencer, had “millions of subscribers” as of late last year.
