The games in game pass are pretty robust. From classic series to brand new AAA it's in the service. Games like Devil May Cry 5, The Outer Worlds, Gears 5, Tomb Raider, Monster Hunter World, Metro Exodus, etc..are all pretty big and good games. There is more

Metal Gear Series, Masterchief Collection, Resident Evil 4, ESO, the latest two Wolfensteins, The Witcher 3, Forza Horizon 4, Fallout 4 and New Vegas, Elder Scrolls 4, etc are just some older, but great games.

So download, play once, play through, play again, etc and delete. 100 games to choose from. No taking or making games back, no late fees, etc. Pretty good deal, especially since I only paid $24 dollars for game pass ultimate for 24 months.

Imagine if your PlayStation had a service where every 1st party game you wanted to play was available on it at launch? Imagine then that same service also had many 3rd party games that too are available at launch day one. No waiting for disk order or returning and then ordering another. The option to sample titles that you had been interested in but never quite pulled the trigger on. just waiting to be played at a moments whim.

GamePass has allowed so many games that I wanted to play but didn't fork over the money to purchase at the time, to be played by me.

I started out with a simple 3 month subscription that I was gifted by a streamer and discovered it was just too much available for me to give up. Well worth the monthly payments. for sure better than the monthly cost of my Sat TV.

You sound like you've seen the business model for GamePass. If not you're assuming a lot about losses. Plus if you know business you know that since windows is highly successful they could use GP losses to offset tax on profits in other areas. In Microsoft's case, they could do that for the foreseeable future.

Same here

But will it work for the new xbox? Xbox one has 1 year left. It will probably be a separate fee and a different library for the new console like it is for pc, and at the regular prices it's not that great.

@FGHFGHFGH

That's highly unlikely. Gold wasn't separated by generations so why would XGP?

Light?

I think the price will increase but I think MS wanna get as many on board with low entry and upgrade price.

I got 36 months of the service, for $36, not for 24 months as I stated above. So even if he price goes up, countless peole have that price locked in for several more years. They will keep thr price around the same as they are not hust reaching console players. They'll want to get mobile gamers and the like on the service over xcloud.

That sounds like a PS4 and PC gamer - no mention of another console.

Do a quick edit mate.

Why do developers keep agreeing to sign up? They must be fairly compensated if they're still bringing games to Game Pass. MS doesn't allow every game on Game Pass, it's catered. I'm willing to bet a lot of people upgraded their remaining Live sub (under a year) without knowing or extending their sub first. Then there are the people who try out the $1 for a month promotion, as far as I know you get a single promotion because they are for new subscribers. Yeah some people will sign up for a month here and there when a new game comes to the service, but for $10/month a lot of people keep their subscription going.

**"I can't see any issue for the customer"**

As a customer this statement makes me very happy, I agree - As a GP subscriber I have no issues.

**"I think is way better for smaller devs than larger ones"**

I agree, many smaller dev teams have spoken out as to how GP has not only created a much needed revenue stream for them on the Xbox platform, it's also increased product awareness through player engagement and resulted in higher sales on PC and PlayStation too.

**"I have legitimate questions about it's value for some developers"**

So we agree that GP is a good deal for smaller devs, so we can reasonably conclude that you are referring to larger teams such as Capcom and R*.

If someone tries to sell you something and it's too expensive, do you buy it?

If You are selling something and someone offers to buy at a price you are unhappy with, do you sell it?

Of course the answer is no, so why you think that financially astute teams such as Capcom and R* would place their products on the service if it wasn't financially viable for them is a Swiss Cheese argument, full of holes.

'Of course the answer is no, so why you think that financially astute teams such as Capcom and R* would place their products on the service if it wasn't financially viable for them is a Swiss Cheese argument, full of holes.'

I heard it was over 15 million...... It was viable for them as they were paid. MS wanted the jump and DMC is a big pull. How much would they have to pay for a bigger game... A COD IF activision would even agree. I do think it'll be harder to grab those games day one. Luckily many gamers can wait IF they believe MS will snag other to triple a games. I just think some devs will only put their games on sub services when their product is on the decline whenever that may be as they want maximum profit. Add service revenue in the decline stage and the devs definitely benefit. I aint s#ittin on GP or any other sub service just stating there's a reason why all devs aren't clamouring to put there games on them early doors.
