Xbox Announces New 'Benefits' For Free-To-Play Titles With Game Pass

Xbox has announced today that Game Pass members are set to receive "even more value" with multiple benefits for free-to-play games over the coming months, including for the likes of Call of Duty: Warzone and The Finals.

All of this starts this week with four specific games - here are the details courtesy of Xbox Wire:

• Heroes of the Storm (PC) – Link your Battle.net account
  In this realm between realms, anything is possible – play and unlock 30 Heroes from across Blizzard Entertainment’s universes as we welcome you to the Nexus!

• Naraka: Bladepoint (Cloud, Console, and PC) – Use your Xbox profile to log in
  Unlock all heroes, exclusive Xbox headgear, and the Phoenix Princess Pack (Justina Gu).

• Smite 2 (Console and PC) – Link your account
  Unlock the exclusive High Velocity Hecate Skin, 5 gods (Ares, Anhur, Hecate, Hercules and Nemesis), the OP Title, and GG Emote with the Smite 2 Welcome Pack.

• The Finals (Xbox Series X|S and PC) – Link your Embark ID
  Unlock the Stryker Grid Set, sponsored by Ivada, featuring a full outfit, three weapon skins, a charm, and a 25% boost to Match XP. Players also unlock 500 Multibucks when they claim their prize!

In addition, four more games will be getting Xbox Game Pass benefits in April 2025, which are Call of Duty: Warzone, Asphalt Legends Unite, Enlisted and War Thunder - and more benefits will apparently be added "regularly" after that.

These work a little differently to Xbox Game Pass Perks in that you have to claim them in-game, which you can do by linking your Xbox profile when loading them up. Then, all the freebies will apparently be there waiting for you.

Finally, it's important to note that these in-game benefits are only available for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members, meaning Standard and Core subscribers sadly miss out.
