PC Game Pass is a separate service, owing to the fact that PC games on Windows don't have a paywall to play online multiplayer. Also many of the games here are simply fully exclusive to PC, designed to be played with a keyboard and mouse, although many of the games here also support Xbox Play Anywhere, meaning you can take your save file with you whether you're playing on a PC, an Xbox, or on a mobile device via cloud. The choking game had been labeled the “good kids’ drug” because most of the publicized deaths from the game occurred in high-achieving children. [2],[6] However, studies have indicated that this game is actually more common among children who use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, and who engage in sexual activity.6 In middle school, the kids most likely to play the choking game are those who use controlled substances and get failing grades. In high school, the teens most likely to engage in this risky behavior are the ones who use substances, have attempted suicide, or have experienced sexual assault.4 Females who responded on a survey that they had poor nutrition and males who responded that they had been exposed to violence were also more likely to participate in the choking game.

Now, with millions of how-to videos on asphyxiation only a finger’s tap away, kids are more likely to play the so-called game alone, choking themselves in their bedroom with their own belts and shoelaces, advocates say. Without the safeguard of a fellow player, what was intended as a momentary high can easily turn fatal. “It’s gotten more extreme,” Rogg says. a b Drake, Joseph A.; Price, James H.; Kolm-Valdivia, Nicole; Wielinski, Margaret (2010), "Association of Adolescent Choking Game Activity With Selected Risk Behaviors", Academic Pediatrics, 10 (6): 410–416, doi: 10.1016/j.acap.2010.09.006, PMID 21075323 That’s a harder message to spread when millions of videos referencing the Choking Game are so easily accessible online, and children continue recording their dangerous experiments. You have to look at all the physical evidence on the scene, and then you have to sit and ask the hard questions [to parents],” says Lancaster County Coroner Karla Knight Deese, who was trained to recognize Choking Game deaths by the South Carolina Coroner’s Association.
