    At some point, it will only be worth it, if you either finish games at an alarming rate, or play so many different games, that buying them separately would make no sense

      I think if you’re playing 1 new release game every month or two, you’re getting the value. I’m enjoying Avowed and Doom the Dark ages recently, but I’m very glad I didn’t pay for Doom.

      Xbox has kind of been on a roll lately with the games they’ve added.

        Downvoted for no reason. Like, Clair Obscur was free on Gamepass. I ain’t hearing shit about how it isn’t worth the price tag

          Indeed. I think the last 6 months have been great value for PC game pass. Of course it goes against the OP/thread sentiment that Xbox is ripping everyone off.

          I buy on steam/key resellers at heavy discount most of the time, but game pass allows me to play new release games that are in the “looks interesting, but I’m not dropping full price to try this out” category of games.

      Probably

      But right now it is 20 bucks a month. Even at 30, that is “worth it” if you play two or three newly released games a year and random library games beyond that.

      The issue is if people have multiple consoles or are in the PC space and also have access to steam sales and bundles and the like.
