Its premium tier offering, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, includes Xbox Game Pass for console and PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming, EA Play membership, Xbox Live Gold membership, and various monthly perks and discounts. While you might not be excited by every game that hits the service, Microsoft reportedly added over $6,300 (around £4,780 / AU$8,823) worth of games to Game Pass in 2021, which is impressive no matter how you shake it.
You could even make a solid argument that several big Game Pass titles, such as Sea of Thieves, have only been able to grow and maintain healthy player bases thanks to being on the service. The aversion to Xbox Game Pass is understandable, then, if seen as yet another subscription that comes out of your bank account every month.īut Game Pass really is incredible value for money, and we now have irrefutable proof that it isn’t harmful to developers at all, quite the opposite. The video games industry has a nasty habit of making money off players at every opportunity, be it through microtransactions, season passes, or soon, NFTs. So is the skepticism surrounding Xbox Game Pass completely unwarranted? No, not really, partly because Game Pass is the antithesis of what gamers are used to.
