Xbox Game Pass

IM ALL IN! Let me start off by saying that I usually like to pay for my games, that’s just how I am. I loved the idea of GamePass but thought it just wasn’t for me as I buy titles that aren’t really offered in the GP (yet). I’m currently using the 14day pass that came with my elite controller but Microsoft can have my money thereafter lol. The way the quests & rewards are setup not only incentivizes the experience but has me playing games I wouldn’t normally play which I think is great. Currently I’m using the app on a 5s while I’m waiting for my XS to be repaired and I can say the GamePass app is a delight to use. It’s easy and straightforward if you’re familiar with the xbox ui. It seems to be optimized for each of the respective devices which is a little thing but it shows Microsoft cares. They have themselves a nice little gaming ecosystem and I’m thrilled to be apart of it.

Barely any hot games out. A majority of games on here are either random indie games or very old triple A titles. I’ve had issues on numerous days with connections to Xbox live claiming to be on Microsoft’s side which prohibit you from playing any games on game pass. Which I don’t own any games I only play game pass so when my connection isn’t working I’m unable to do anything not even watch movie. I only play or watch movies a few days a week after work and I’ve had this issue twice in the past month of owning an Xbox which makes even owning an Xbox kind of unnecessary. The only reason I gave this a two star and not a one because they offer Xbox live (which is a scam in itself) included with game pass saving on something I’d be buying anyways, they let you try it out for three months for only a couple dollars instead of making you subtractive you something you might not like and also there is a fairly large number of games. I probably won’t be continuing to pay for game pass because there is not enough content offered to keep me satisfied past three months (which I doubt they will come out with games I would enjoy since I’m not a fan of $2 indie games(also which they use to pad the numbers of game they say they offer)) in the next three months and I will probably be trying to return my Xbox soon because of how many issues I’ve been having not just with game pass

Gamepass is like the Netflix of gaming. This progressive service model coupled with Microsoft’s purchase of several new gaming studios provide a clear view of Phil Spencer’s (Head of XBox) vision. This long game view of the Xbox not only positions the company for an increase in market share in the next generation but it pushes the entire video game industry to the next level. From indies to triple A and even the newly coined quadruple A Microsoft seems to have it covered. With something for every type of gamer packaged up in the form of top of the line hardware, PC, mobile, and entry level devices Gamepass is a service that should be part of every gamers wish list now and for years to come.

!!All I have to say....I need more !!storage!! 😆 so far this upgrade has been well worth it. Even if games come and go it’s no different then Netflix plain and simple. Having the option to play games day one is like binging that new awesome show day one and I believe it’s genius! Sure to have the option to buy the game if you want before it’s taken off game pass is awesome. P.S. if you aren’t using bing rewards....I highly encourage you to start...I haven’t paid for Xbox live from my own pocket for 6+ years now and I continue to use bing rewards to keep my Xbox game pass ultimate going it’s a beautiful ecosystem! 👏🏻 thank you Microsoft haha

In terms of concept, interface design, ease of search and account management XBOX Game Pass knocks it out of the park. The application pretty much let’s you do whatever you want regarding the service ranging from searching for titles by category, adding titles you want to access later on to a playlist and to me the best feature which is remote download so a title is ready to go from the console when ready. Active users can also see how much time is left regarding their subscription from the home page. My only criticism this far is the app is a bit sluggish when navigating but that can be fixed with updates. A must download for all types of XBOX consumers.
