Microsoft really going all in and the Game Pass investment. More power to them.
And better value for players.
Amazing :)
Pretty strong move for Gamepass. Sony needs to become more talkative about where tthey see their subscription evolve, because the deals are starting to get way to good on Xbox.
Holy fuck. It just keeps getting better.
On PC and mobile? Damn Microsoft, I'm definitely getting Gamepass ultimate now.
....
Wow
Funny, I was actually thinking MS should do this. Why? It makes the Gamepass library much more robust. Shooters, sports games, RPGs, etc. If you buy an Xbox and Gamepass Ultimate, you'll have access to a strong library instantly.
While I won't ever have a subscription be the way that I play/own my games collection... This is an incredible deal for people who don't mind.
BUT HOW IS MICROSOFT MAKING MONEY ON THIS PROGRAM?
Gamepass was already worth the price, EA Play just sweetens the pot.
