Poll Will you be getting gamepass for Xbox One? (49 votes)

Yes 41%
No 41%
Undecided 18%

The reason I ask is the news that all first party MS games will be released on it at the same time it releases for retail. I'm having a hard time understanding how this is sustainable. It's a great deal and here's why: Pay the $9.99, play the game that just released(ex. Sea of Theives). The day before your sub runs out decide if you like the game enough to warrant another month or buying it. If you buy it, it'll be 20% off automatically. So why buy from the Xbox store for $60, when you can get the sub and the game for less than that?($9.99+$48=$57.99) Am I missing something here? I know there are programs like Amazon that'll give you a discount for preordering a game, but this gives you a month to try it first.(Along with other games.) It's a great deal, but I'm super confused how this is possible. I guess they are hoping people just keep the sub going like I do for Netflix? Even then, they are only getting $120 per subscriber per year... Doesn't the average gamer spend way more than that normally? And isn't that where all the profit is made? You all know I'm a Sony/Nintendo guy, but I'll admit this is a great deal... But you know the saying: "If it's too good to be true..." So if I'm missing something, let me know. Thanks

I'll get it when i want to plow through some singleplayer games. Also, being in a region where Bing Rewards are offered, can always redeem points for 1 month access.

No. Xbone has no games. I only play halo/gears/forza. Would rather own physical copies.

No I don’t think that I’ll be getting it myself. While I think that it’s a great option to have such a service available I prefer getting my games on a physical format plus I’d rather be able to play any game that I want at any given time.

Nah, I don't care for any of the games on there. EA Access might be worth it if I didn't have most of those games already.

No I just prefer to own my games outright, but I love the idea of Gamepass because it will keep the online populations of some games more active. It's a great budget option and makes games more accessible to all. I don't know the economics of it, but it's just a choice, so people can still buy games if they want to.

It's an industry-shaking move, and obviously we don't know all the ramifications yet. Microsoft has deep pockets and can afford to put their heavy hitters in there for now, it remains to be seen how the business side will work out.

I have one ready for sea of thieves but apart from that I can't see a reason why I would need it, too many old games. If it had more newer stuff it would be different.

Not really the responses I expected! So it sounds like for anyone wanting physical media, it's a no-go. Makes sense. If I had an Xbox, I'd give it a try for a month. I don't like how they pull games from it though, the same way I hate it when Netflix does it. I'm guessing this may be how MS will profit: Get ya hooked on a game, then take it off a few months later making you purchase it if you want to finish the game or just continue playing it. Hopefully they give some warning when they are taking it down. I know Netflix does, but I rarely pay attention.

Side note: Xbox Live is having issues right now... Surprised Eddie hasn't made an article yet lol.

Eventually, yes. I will burn my one month code when SOT launches, and probably cancel right after. I'll be waiting for the combination of Halo and Forza this fall to pull the trigger on an annual subscription. The two games full price is the equivalent of a one year sub, so I figure its worth it at that point.

I thought the gamepass was a good deal before because I do enjoy Netflix & Hulu. Figured a service but with games is pretty neat. Microsoft announcing that Xbox only titles will be on gamepass day 1? That's awesome. I game on PC so I don't mind digital since my Steam holds everything. I'm slowly moving away from physical copies; except my Playstation, I still rather own physical copies.

I'd love to try the gamepass for the PC but only the Xbox Play Anywhere titles will work and I'm not sure how many that'll be. I also despise the Windows Store for managing and downloading...

@dagubot: Ah so it does work on PC but only for the few first party "play anywhere" games. Probably not worth it for PC gamers then.

Cows such as yourself worry more about what MS is doing this gen, so much so you've missed Sony trying to milk you every way they can.

@i_p_daily: I'm worried? About what? Lol... If ever there was a time to worry, it's definitely not now. This wasn't an anti-xbox article either. You're trying to make it into one for some reason. Yeah, I reply to comments on my thread. Seems like you're the one always having a negative say, or some paranoia that someone is talking bad about your Xbox. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a positive comment from you yet. Pathetic.

@undefined: I got a 1 month gamepass included with x1x. I'll use that when sea of thieves launches to see if it's worth getting at a reduced price. Its an incredible offer - so good that retailers are pissed off about it - and I can easily see myself subscribing to it given the games on offer.

Like I said you're a cow and worrying what MS is up to and you needed to create this thread because it seems you're trying to find an angle where game pass is a ripoff, I mean its MS so they must be ripping people off somehow, you know what they say "if it looks to good to be true then it must be right" LOL.

If you want positive comments, then go the Disney forums princess :)

I will get it after for Sea of Thieves on PC and other first party titles. Now whether this becomes a regular subscription or something I just periodically pay $10 to play new games is up to MS. MS games are few and far between. Also, Forza is the only MP game I play from MS and I already own it. So, there is not much incentive for me to hold the subscription right now. I know I won't be buying anymore MS games that is for sure.

$10 for a month of access which can be used to finish multiple games or $120 max per year if you hold the subscription. MS definitely has the most affordable first party games.

If I played as many games as I used to I would be all over this. Sadly I'm struggling to play anything on either of my systems for more than a few hours each week lately.

Seems like a good service though. Maybe down the track, if and when I get my gaming mojo back, might give it a try.

I will be renewing Xbox Live for 3 months starting this May- when classes end for the summer.

I will be playing a lot of Halo MCC. Likely will pick up COD WW2 finally as well.

If Sea of Thieves is good then I will likely get Game Pass for atleast a month so I can play that game.

@i_p_daily: How about you contribute instead of obnoxiously trolling every article? Name calling was cool when I was in grade school... Didn't know it was still a thing. You can start contributing to articles instead of trolling and stop going after my character, instead of the thread, or I can start flagging your comments for harassment. It's gotten old.

I will get it through game pass on PC. I likely won't be playing the MP much though as it never really hooked me. It will certainly be better than playing Halo on console, but I would rather play other games like Battlefield.

@joshrmeyer: For starters Sony fanboys are called cows here, as Xbox fanboys are called lems, i didn't start it, i'm just playing by the house rules.

Secondly i made a comment, it was you who replied to me, so the harassment actually came from you, and you're the one who called me/my post pathetic.

Lastly this is System Wars, harden up or you won't last long here.

@i_p_daily: It wasn't the "cow" comment. That's part of system wars and I'm fine with that. I was referring to the "princess" comment. I'm just letting you know your posts are unoriginal and obnoxious. Nothing personal about you. This is my thread and you came in trying to change it, that's why I replied. System Wars can still be constructive somewhat. Just saying, I hope you contribute to threads more in the future instead of the constant trolling for attention.

@joshrmeyer: I didn't try and change your thread i made a simple observation (which is true) and you took it to heart and replied to me saying im trolling lol.

As for the princess comment, well you don't see me crying about you calling me obnoxious or that my comments/me are pathetic. Like i said YOU respond to me directly so you need to toughen up, AND not take any of the shit that goes on in here to heart.

But if you wanna contact a mod go for it, but make no mistake just because someone makes a comment in your thread that you don't like it doesn't constitute harassment, in fact if i recall you're the one who has responded to my last few comments in different threads, so that is a form of harassment, but im a big boy and find it funny and laugh it off.
