Have you ever purchased a streaming movie, only to discover the next day that it was already available on your subscription service like Netflix or Hulu? This frustrating experience isn’t limited to movies; it can also happen with PC games. Fortunately, there’s a browser extension that can help alleviate this issue.
The extension called “Is It On Game Pass” enables users to check if a game is available on Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s comprehensive subscription service for gaming. This tool proves to be particularly handy when browsing the Steam store, as it fits seamlessly into both the standard store pages and the familiar search layout. Currently, the extension only functions when you’re using a standard web browser, but its utility is undeniable.
It allows you to make informed decisions before making a purchase, ensuring that you won’t accidentally buy a game that is readily available through your subscription service. As the gaming landscape continues to evolve with more subscription options, tools like “Is It On Game Pass” can help gamers avoid unnecessary spending and maximize the value of their subscriptions. This way, you can focus on enjoying your gaming experience rather than worrying about missed opportunities or wasted money.
So if you’re a frequent Steam user, this extension might just become your new best friend in the realm of game purchasing.
