Thread: Xbox Game Pass - Explain it to me

    Default Xbox Game Pass - Explain it to me

    Sorry, I'm not a console gamer and I don't always understand the offerings. 13 year old son just got an Xbox One S. Am I missing something, or does it not make sense to pay the $10/month fee for this service if he wants to play games that are already included in this service. For example, he wants to play PubG. PubG is $30 to buy. Obviously if it was only one game, it would make more sense just to buy the game. But if it's that on top of 3-4 other games, it seems like it makes more sense just to subscribe to the monthly $10 sub.

    Game Pass includes several games. Think of it like NetFlix for Xbox Games. It has about 200 or so on there right now.

    Game Pass has a library of 100+ games, from OG Xbox to the current Xbox One. You also get first party MS games on launch, like Halo and Forza.

    It's a pretty great service.

    You had better pay your guild dues before you forget. You are 113 months behind.

    It's a growing library of games for a small cost. So as long as the game is in that library, you can play it so long as your subscription is valid.

    PS4 has Gamecube games on it as well as PS 1+2+3. Streaming service too so no installation outside of save.

    They do switch games around a bit. I think Fallout 4 was recently removed.

    PS Now sucks though, the streaming is incredibly janky. Also no Gamecube AFAIK beyond emulators.

    As long as they keep Katamari on it, I'm fine.

    Thanks all for the input. I appreciate it. The only one I could pos rep was Astray because I hadn't spread it around enough.

    Temporary promo for Fallout 76. Good service though, they're always adding new games.
