How many times has this happened to you? You take advantage of a Steam offer, buy that game you’ve been eyeing for a while… and soon discover it was already included in your Xbox Game Pass for PC subscription. To avoid this kind of mistake, a user has created a very simple but extremely practical Chrome extension.

It’s called Is It On Game Pass and is available for free on the Chrome Web Store. Its function is straightforward: it automatically checks if a Steam game is available on Xbox Game Pass for PC and indicates it directly on the game’s page while you browse the store.

How the Is It On Game Pass extension works

Once installed, this small utility displays a visual alert on each Steam game page, indicating the game’s status:

• Available on Game Pass
• Coming soon
• About to leave the catalog

Additionally, it adds price comparisons with other stores like GG.deals, in case you want to save even more. According to the author, the extension was born out of personal frustration: “I kept buying games I already had on Game Pass without realizing it, so I decided to create a tool to avoid it.”

You can download it from this official link on Chrome Web Store here.

A simple, free, and very useful idea to avoid paying twice for the same thing if you play on PC.
