Should You Get Xbox Game Pass?

[@JampackSam]

Game Pass got some BIG changes - here’s a new video breaking down the new tier and updates from July 2024: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIXOpmqgj9-NmKs

[@domm9616]

I do have game pass ultimate and also don't want to get ride of it. I tryed so many games on it, it's actually made me a little more open to new stuff

[@jahbuckets1691]

I literally play 2-3 games for months I’m good off it. $205 a year if u play more than 5 games in a year it’s worth it

[@JonathanTacoman]

Gamepass is so damn good that I hardly buy games now

[@MrZuga89]

And this is the problem with the future of gaming. I don't see how this is sustainable on the long run with the development prices. It's not peoples fault for not buying games, but the companies who offer this option. Don't get me wrong, the value is there, but is it sustainable?

[@JonathanTacoman]

@@MrZuga89 xbox pays the companies to add the games to gamepass. They’re making money for putting it on gamepass .

[@MrZuga89]

@@JonathanTacoman they do, but they definetely don't pay them the amount they would get per item sold. On the other hand, who knows if that much people would try the game in the first place if they had to pay. Here talking about GP because of day one releases. I would love to see the amount of money companies get for releases on subscription services. For indies it makes sence, but not sure for big budget games

[@JonathanTacoman]

@@MrZuga89 they’re choosing to release it on Game Pass, so they might not be confident in their own product

[@MrZuga89]

@@JonathanTacoman that's also a viable option. We will see what the future holds :)

[@ffviifakeremake9997]

Well they have given up on the Xbox Series X, so I'm going back to PC gaming.

[@BlackMageX15]

Gamepass is worth it as long as you have a PC bottom line. I've played loads of games id have never bought and enjoyed most of them a lot

[@Evilkingus]

Depends highly on your usecase. Not everyone has all the time in the world or feel compelled to test out whatever hamburger meal is served. I prefer to be in full control of which games I play and I don't want to hope they will come to Game Pass and I don't want to have anxiety that they will suddenly disappear. You must have a specific mindset for this to be a good deal, but I guess to some it can be.

[@AnayaKiKitchen]

pc gamepass is value for money for me. i am never in a spot where i dont have games to play. i love playing indie, AA and if some AAA is not on gamepass i buy from steam. because i am saving money. at my place gamepass cost me less than 2 pack of cigg a month. i dont even care about xbox exclusives not a deal breaker for me. i will keep gamepass till it exists or untill they start charging 70 usd.

[@djsponge10]

I’ve had game pass for a while I had 3 years of gold and stacked a month of game pass ultimate and I did that again a couple months ago or whenever, and I hardly play my Xbox nothing on game pass is actually exciting when I can just play these games on my pc or ps5. Idk I have a big BC library on Xbox so I usually just play whatever is in there that I bought. 3 years ago game pass was really great and actually had great games but now I feel they add mostly mid tier games and shovelware

[@MrZuga89]

I would agree. I don't have enough free time so subscriptions are actually useless to me, but ai still buy them when a sale is up. I was dissapointed when I played Ghostwire Tokyo and HiFi Rush on Xbox and the later on PS5 because they ran better and the haptic feedback controller is a win for me XSX is mostly used for emulation at my house 😅

[@zaminahmed297]

Question for creator or anyone who has a suggestion: I am a guy who rarely buys games day one like ever ( I think the last one I bought was forza horizon 5 and that was before they switched it to 70 bucks), I play on average 3-4 four titles a year not many multiplayer (like currently my rotation is consist of No-man Sky, EA FC 24, and Jedi Survivor). However, looking at the gamepass core line of up of games there are a couple a that pique my interest like Firewatch, Ori and superliminal) so is it still worth it? I still buying games because I am someone who slow burns through games, kind of taking it all in. Also, I saw that there are discounts for certain games if you get the core option, is there a greater discount if you get the ultimate subscription. Finally, I see that at least for core, you have a limited number of games, how would you gain access to them? Is it through the app for game pass or you have to search each individually.

[@jreds79]

I travel a lot for work, and own a rog ally and Xbox series x. I have game pass ultimate because I can download games to my ally and play it on that handheld. Another feature that I find valuable is streaming my Xbox console to my ally. So if I wanted to play a game I bought and it not a play it everywhere title, I can just stream it. I don't know if this is a feature of game pass or baked into windows.

[@hvdiv17]

I didn't have to pay $70 to play indiana jones and the great circle only $20 and i used cloud gaming to play it so you tell me is it worth it?

[@iwinzeazy]

Ultimate game pass lack of yearly payment option is a no go for me🇺🇸

[@johnnyflores9089]

You can get ultimate for year at Sam’s club for like 60 after taxes

[@andrewherrera2269]

Core is good for me. Don’t have a ton of games that I play and I’m pretty sure they won’t be dropping what I do play anytime soon.

[@gamingedition5165]

If you pay for online play whats a couple extra £ for game pass ultimate?

[@jonnydegnan4334]

just got rid of ps5 for series x, i pay 7.99 a month on ps just to get online and get a few games a month which are rubbish, 10.99 a month on standard game pass i can't believe how many games you get its so good

[@dinoslayer1353]

A lot of the old games are behind paywalls now so it is a must have their forcing that on you besides have it where you can pay for the game itself

[@ChesterMan-qd3xj]

I still don’t understand how they make money putting first party games with millions in development costs on Game Pass day and date. I would’ve bought Hellblade 2 physically, but since it’s digital only - pay $50 digital, or about $12 for a month of GP? I’ll play on GP.

[@landontorres1054]

they don't launch AAA every month the biggest budget they have had is about 250M 40M * 10$ = 400M the thing is they invested 80Billions lol

[@JhardyMama]

Can I spend 60 bucks for 12 months online play yes or no ????

[@PeaceKeeper-dd8xv]

It’s like $10 a month so no

[@ZoeL_15]

30 for core and 60 for ultimate if you use other websites to buy the passes

[@jeffccan4464]

I use rewards so I don’t pay for Ultimate, so yes it’s worth it.

[@gawsss]

What rewards?

[@yomang6614]

I say it's worth it, at least now as of 2024, but Microsoft could easily ruin it in the future.

[@StoobidTony]

Probably a dumb question, but pc game pass has multiplayer right? Cause the way you say it kinda confused me.

[@horticultural261]

yes

[@Gunnumn]

It just pissed me off that you still have to sign up if you want to play any multiplayer.

[@zaminahmed297]

Thats been the case for a while man ever since 360. At least they let you use party chat, before hand if you didn't have gold you could literally do nothing, no chatting with friends at all

[@DC180]

It's great if you want to "dabble around with so many games' and don't own them.. If you mainly into a certain main game or 2... no just buy the game and don sub.

[@SQUIRELS79]

Gamepass ultimate is so good for me, love all of the choices just this year played evil west , diablo 4 , jusant , forza motorsport, no more heroes 3 , the quarry, lego 2k racing , palworld and I know I would never buy all these games

[@Sloome45]

i got 25 months xbox game pass ultimate for just 70$

[@samimm8241]

i guss thay will lose tons of money if 50% of people like me i subscribed for 1 month in june i played all the good games and now iam waiting for them to drop there next 3 or 4 games then i will subscribe for 10$ dollers then see u after 6 months buy xbox

[@warlockboyburns]

sure if you want hundreds of games.. I think it's healthy to not be in an echo chamber of your own game selections.

[@matthewhardwick8208]

I'm actually buying more games because I'm getting so much on Game Pass. It allows me to save up while still being able to play a lot of games.

Game Pass is a complete rip off. There aren’t even 6-12 month options, better to just save your money.

Thanks for totally not answering my question

[@cdb989]

Who at Microsoft came up the these game pass tiers Game pass pc is better than game pass core and console 🤷‍♂️

[@snehalkrishnan618]

For real, there aren’t even 6-12 month options, all the tiers are 1 month options. What a rip off.

[@rubenske091]

👍👍

[@504Trey]

As a gamer i can't see myself living without game pass.. game pass ultimate to be exact for me..

[@snehalkrishnan618]

Game Pass Ultimate is a rip off, highway robbery, how is $17 per month a good deal?

PlayStation 5 has no games
