Last year we celebrated Game Pass having PC games by teaming up with Austin Evans and UrAvgConsumer to build custom rigs spanning themes from some of our biggest games. To heighten the action, we commissioned TinyMakesThings to design their own stylized keycaps that resemble the amazing games released on day one of PC Game Pass. From lively gameplay sessions to performances by star athletes, we’ve had some truly memorable moments and we’re excited for what lies ahead.
We launched the PC Builder program with Previous 4 blood, when we challenged our builders to construct four hideous machines to be used in a cooperative playthrough of the game that pitted professional basketball players John Collins and Lou Williams against the Ridden.
From then on, UrAvgConsumer responded strongly to our challenge as he built the toughest Age of Empires IV
To celebrate day one of Forza Horizon 5 with PC Game Pass, Austin Evans returned to assemble the perfect PC rig for pro racer Sergio Perez. Austin showed his extreme creativity and ingenuity when he turned a previously ridden bike into one ForzaHorizon 5 inspired computer made specifically for Checo in-house.
At the end of the year, we showed our enthusiasm for Halo infinity PC Game Pass launches on day one with Austin and TinyMakesThings designing an iconic gaming setup for soccer star George Kittle. For a Halo superfan like Kittle, Austin designed a John 117 build that featured several nods to humanity’s hero. This build not only matched the tight end’s Master Chief tattoo perfectly, but was also the perfect machine to pair with tiny Halo infinity keycaps.
UrAvgConsumer also entered the scene with a stylish Escharum rig presented to LEGIQN, the winner of our Halo Infinite Multiplayer’s Most Legendary Moment in the Game Pass Has PC Games Invitational with Boom TV.
We had a great time diving into the vibrant themes of our first PC Game Pass games last year and we’ll be making more videos very soon! Game Pass includes PC games, and PC Game Pass lets you discover your next favorite game from over 100 high-quality games.
We enjoyed diving into day one games such as: Previous 4 blood, Age of Empires IV, ForzaHorizon 5, and Halo infinity, and we’re just getting started. We hope you were able to clear your backlog as we have more games coming soon!
