It’s a pretty standard view that Games Pass is a great deal for PC and Xbox players, even if the price does keep creeping up. An unparalleled library of accessible games for a small(ish) monthly fee and day one exclusives such as Starfield, Halo, and Forza sweeten the deal still further but it is the wealth of other games, games such as Palworld and Flight Simulator that means that even between downtime of the enormous releases, there doesn’t really feel a need to pause your subscription. Compared with offerings from the likes of Ubisoft and so on, it feels like I only ever really dip in there when a new game comes out whereas my Game Pass sub runs and runs. Since Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the day has always been coming that a brand new Call of Duty game would come to Game Pass – technically free for existing subscribers, and a much cheaper way to play for new subscribers.
