Is Xbox Game Pass really worth it? A self described skeptic chronciles his thought journey moving from a hard "no" to a optimistic "yes."

A very good buddy of mine is a die hard proponent of the physical media but even he is impressed at what gamepass is offering. So much so that he is actually in process of buying an xbo to get in on the action. He is not a PC gamer and throughout this gen has not been interested in the xbo and was a PS4 only gamer. But the idea that for that low price he is able to play the latest Forza Horizon game (among others) is intriguing. No commitment to purchasing unless he wants to on virtually all new releases.

Hell... even I am starting to consider it.

I managed to get 12 months of Gamepass for £47.99 from Amazon UK, got my XBox One for £189.99 with the full Fortnite Digital Code and a physical copy of FH4, the boxes includes a month of GP and a month of Live.

GP was a great deal, for the price of a little over one new game here in England I can play everything that comes to the service, great value.

Games pass now has over 200 games. I bought 12 months for $60. I also have EA all access, which PlayStation doesn't have. For $29.99 a year, I get access to over 50 EA games.....$90 per year, and access to over 250 games....

why even bring up Playstation here? if you really want to play numbers, you do know that for $100 you get access to like 700 games on PS Now spanning from PS2, PS3 to PS4 games, right?

If you take out the PlayStation part, your comment is great. I have both and feel that I’ve got really good value from them. If I had a PlayStation, the first thing I’d do is sign up for PS Now. Awesome value as well.

Your right. I should not bash Playstation. Honestly I forgot they expanded online service. So next time I comment I will lay off. I just get frustrated, when talking about my 1X. Playstation people, are so critical of it. I have a 65 inch TV, and surround sound. System that takes full advantage of the X and its features, 4K, HDR, Dolby Atmos Sound Dolby Vision and its 4K bluray player. I think the hardware is great.

Nope, Playstation people, argue, say its dosen't have 1st party games, etc. I do not tell them, God of War, sucks, or Uncharted, etc. So many of them are toxic.
Don't even get me started, on how some of them treat Nintendo fans. The switch, being almost 2 years old, is a great system, for what it is. I am looking forward to picking one up.

Anyway, I will try and not compare Xbox and Playstation. Especially, since I messed up, about Playstation online.

Just grabbed Below, so far Ashen, Mutant Year Zero and Below in the last couple of weeks. Game Pass is definitely coming through big time.

Wait what you mean it's not worth it on PC? I have it on PC and enjoying it

dekke2744d ago

he prolly means why to pay anything of games when u can get em for free :P

WitcheRivia2743d ago

On PC you can only play a handful of the Play Anywhere titles (at this point it's only 15 games). Until Microsoft makes a PC game pass where you can play just as many games as the Xbox One can then it's not worth it.

Razzer2743d ago

That depends. If you haven't played the games on the Play Anywhere/Game Pass list and you want to then it obviously would be. Also, you are not committed to pay every month of Game Pass. If you want to play Crackdown 3 in February then you might as well just pay the ten bucks and play it rather than paying $60.

But either way, Phil Spencer says PC is getting its own version of Game Pass soon.

Platformgamer2744d ago

game pass is perfect for the poor guys like me.
when ori 2 will come out i'll play it alongside crackdown 3 and other games for only 10$, that's awesome!

Unfortunately I think so. Not anytime soon. But in a few years time. They want that on everything.

Won't happen, software is where all the money is made. These companies take losses on these consoles and then make up for it with software sales.
