I think it’s a pretty good deal. As a dad who has limited amount of time to play, I’ve had an Xbox for 16 months and bought it with game pass.
In that time I’ve played > 50 games and played about 15 of them to the credits.
In that time I’ve not actually bought a game. At the new price of $20 is have paid $320 which is the cost of about 5 or 6 games, Maybe 10 or a 11 if I’d aimed for sales.
I’m on game pass. It came for two years with the console and also you can get it for.free by doing Microsoft rewards consistently.
It’s pretty great and, having had my Xbox for over a year, I haven’t bought a single game. In that time I’ve completed probably 8 AA or AAA games, tried a lot more and also played many many smaller games.
A year’s game pass is about 160. So 8 big games (assuming a huge discount to roughly 20) would be about the same price and I’ve been able to dip into many many more games in that time.
Genuinely, think for many people Game pass is a great option (especially if you are happy to.kiss out or wait for some games)
To be fair a Popeye beat em up could be a lot of fun. Quite good mobile phone fodder, if have thought.
