My issue is that is still nearly $200 to rent games, none of which I would want enough to pay full price for anyway.
I just don't think digital rental services are the future. The fact Xbox has been plummeting since GamePass launched, I'm not sure how much Microsoft still does either.

And the market doesn't give a shit about it. The Xbox Stank is real.

I'm going to stick my foot out and trip the parade going on in here. but 2024 Gampass is the worst year for games I played on the service since it started.

I too thought it was a pretty good year for GP subscribers but the people that let GP live rent free in their heads wont stay away from this thread

Just waiting for his pathetic laugh emojis that he throws around whenever he fails to offer anything of substance. Which seems to be the case, always.
But, he's okay. At least he's consistent, dependable and predictable.
Speaking of dependable and predictable.

Half of these titles were released on the last two months, so NO, it was not a good YEAR, using these examples. That being said, this post just proves that this service is NOT successful. Believe me, if these games attracted more users, MS would be the first to SCREAM it.

This is my first time seeing this gif without him turning into the dragonball z character.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Meh. Mine expired in March and I never bothered renewing it. I bought a laptop that came with three free month of ultimate, and I still haven't even bothered renewing it.

Subnautica 2, too.
One can easily go the entire year just with those above mentioned games and GP, and that's not even a full list.

Gamepass changed my life. I became a new man a better man a greater man because of phil spencer and his phenomenal gamepass subscription. When i'm driving down the road after work and some idiot is honking at me i roll down my window and ask him 'Are you trying to get home faster to play gamepass too????'. When a waiter spills a drink on me at a restaurant i tell him 'It's ok man cause i got gamepass in my life'. Gamepass has changed my life entire people and it will change yours too if you open up and embrace phil spencer and his ultimate service to us all!!!!!!!

Unless you have a crippling videogame addiction that makes you tap into literally everything I don't think so.

Every time I see these threads this comes to mind:
I’m sorry to say it but there’s absolutely minimal (no) cross over in terms of a person who would play Flight Sim, CoD and Age of Mythology.
2 dubs all year around are Pal World and Indy but you should just buy those games if you want them.
It’s stale, MS need to get rid.

Yeah, not even close to a full list. Its ridiculous. GP may not last forever, but all 3 years I've had it, I've played more fantastic games than I ever have. Insane quality of games and value in pricing. Already a few AA games announced as well that are wildcards. Sleight of Hand, Lost in Random 2, Commandos Origins, Descenders 2. Indies, Winter Burrow and Ghostbike. Also FBC Firebreak for multiplayer.Subnautica 2, too.
One can easily go the entire year just with those above mentioned games and GP, and that's not even a full list.
No one criticizing GP has the first clue about 99% of these games. The list is already phenomenal and is probably 30% of what's coming next year.

Its been amazing, bringing our dreams to life with the best deal in gaming and the most powerfull console in the world to power them dreams.
Xbox has won 2024 and 2025 is looking even stronger.

Sometimes you're right Banjo, this isn't one of those times.
It’s just my POV. I think for each Xbox studio to thrive and survive they need to be making money.Eventually Sauron’s baldy head is going to turn fully to Xbox.
When that time comes you want to be a Rare pointing to 10m sales for Sea of Thieves. Not a Tango pointing to 500k sales of Hi-Fi.
I don’t want a ‘good deal’ I want a fair deal where the devs are rewarded accordingly for quality work and I get a good game. Sadly this is all or nothing; everyone else has to pay as well.

I’d guess that 1 person putting significant time (over 5 hours) in to all 3 of those games is probably sub 500 world wide.No one would play FS, COD and AoM in your opinion?
