Experience the seamless transition between fight and flight in this epic adventure.

Meh. Nope.
They should really get ride of this :) And just find a way to bring Live GwG and GamePass "games" together for the Xbox Live users.
That would be Gamepass Ultimate, as it gives you access to both.
The price is not the same, so that's different, GamePass ultimate is a bundle basically including GamePass and Xbox Live :) By bringing it together, I mean having an offer that is comparable in price with the current Live one and offering games from GamePass directly... Maybe instead of offering new games like that (I know this is different and you actually own the game after that), let's say includes a 30 hours of GamePass games... and get ride of those GwG thing...
All they need to do os lower the price of live GOLD to like 20 bucks for basic online, and put all the games and value into gamepass. Focus on the gamepass value, provide a cheap online option for those that want it. Keeping GWG as a premium service with gamepass around is redundant and pointless really.
sigh
I wonder if they're ever going to put series X games into games with gold, or if they're going to phase it out before that would make sense....
Easy to forgive this month, I can play Outriders right now on GamePass
I love the "129.06 in value" claim. Like TRC is £10 on steam. Midgard is £6... Dark Void is awful and a decade old and £6. Hard corps is nice and accurately priced I guess since its not on PC. Rather than making me think "holy crap, great value", it makes me think these platforms have terrible value.
Hardcore trash
I'd rather they kept it but made it a classic game service. X360/Xbox games only. It would be great to use gwg as a driver for rolling out BC support and enhancing/fps boosing older games.
