If the gg.deals list is accurate then it's 99 games vs our previous count of PC games on Xbox Game Pass which was 21 23 - that's a lot of new PC games added.

What is really surprising is that they aren't including Halo: Master Chief Collection - I would've thought this would have been a good strategy to encourage PC/Steam users onto the subscription package. It's hard to predict exactly what Microsoft's new gameplan is. Microsoft's history of Games for Windows Live and Microsoft Store haven't exactly filled PC gamers with confidence, but this new strategy seems promising.

Metro: Exodus is now available on Microsoft Store - a surprise given all the hoo-ha about Epic Games Store vs Steam exclusivity.

@BaronSmoki on Discord mentioned how this list probably isn't entirely accurate, as some titles only sees a discounted price with Game Pass.
