A new report says that Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service added $8,763 worth of games in the US during 2023, compared to paying $203.88 for 12 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
I don’t know about any other users, but I use game pass knowing I don’t own the games and they can be taken away whenever. I’ve used it to play games to see if it’s worth buying to own, or games I’m interested in trying out but not interested enough to buy it until I try it
That’s exactly how it is and always has been. And games on Game Pass usually have discounts if you want to actually purchase them. Nothing in Game Pass says you own the games, it explicitly makes it clear you do not… it still has a purchase button right next to the Play/Install button.
Game Pass means being able to give a ton of games a try or even play through entirely without having to purchase every single one. It also means a fairly steady stream of new titles to play.
