    Last year, Google launched Play Pass, a subscription service that gives its users access to premium apps and games on the Play Store without ads and in-app purchases. The service went live in September and is now expanding to a number of new markets.

    The new markets include Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and the United Kingdom. To sweeten the deal, Google is also adding more apps and games in the program.  

    New Additional Titles

    Just listing an app on Google Play doesn’t make it listed under Play Pass. So developers must enter an agreement with the company first. After its launch in September, Google says it added over 150 new titles over the past few months. Besides that, Google says it will also include a series of new titles on Play Pass this year when they launch. Call it “exclusives.”

    New Yearly Subscription

    Google Play Pass goes for $4.99 a month in the U.S. but is now available on a yearly subscription. Instead of paying for $4.99 a month which is $59.88 a year, you can now get Play Pass for cheap when you choose to pay for a full year priced at $29.99.
