Select Xbox 360 season passes will be carried over to Xbox One

The 'Season Pass Guarantee' has been announced by Microsoft .

The programme allows players who purchase season passes for select Xbox 360 games to receive access to the equivalent Xbox One season pass at no additional charge.

"Fans of Season Passes now have another reason to look forward to Xbox One with the Season Pass Guarantee programme," reads a post on Xbox Wire.


Publishers that have planned to participate include Activision, EA and Ubisoft.


"You'll be able access exclusive season pass content on anticipated titles like Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4 on both Xbox 360 and Xbox One.


"Season Pass Guarantee makes transitioning from Xbox 360 to Xbox One an easier and smoother process, so you don't have to worry about which console you're playing games on or repurchasing your existing add-ons on Xbox One.


"Stay tuned as publishers and titles participating in the Season Pass programme are announced in the coming months."


Sony has yet to announce a similar programme for its next-gen console, though developers want to make the transition from PlayStation 3 to PlayStation 4 easier for the consumer.

Microsoft recently confirmed that the Xbox One launch has been delayed to 2014 in multiple European regions.


Instead of being simultaneously released in 21 countries as originally planned, the console will arrive in only 13 this year.


The firm currently has no plans to offer an Xbox One bundle without Kinect.


The next-gen console will launch in November for $499 in North America and £429 in the UK.
