Google Play Pass is a subscription service that gives you access to over 1,000 paid apps and games on the Google Play Store.
This means, while you’re subscribed to the service, you can install all the paid apps available on the Pass you want. These apps will be marked with a Play Pass logo so you can easily tell which you can install for ‘free’.
