      Same with the other subscriptions too, like Ubisoft and EA. The only games I actually buy anymore are the ones I can find on steam sales that are third-party on the services, and there is odds I want to guarantee access to it forever.

      Here’s my thing. I haven’t payed full price for a new game in 5 years. I’ve always waited for a sale. I spent 15 bucks on ni no kuni 2 and played it for 2 months. If I had gotten it on game pass it would have cost me 30 bucks. People seem to really not understand how subscription costs stack. Let’s take Skyrim for example. I spent 60 dollars on it 6 years ago. I still sometimes play it to this day. So every time I want to boot up a game I’ve payed for and played years ago will now run me 15 bucks

    I've had Gamepass Ultimate since they allowed to convert Xbox Gold. Think my average cost for 15 months was $2.75 a month. I'll finally begin paying the full price come February but it'll still be worth it. My only downside with it is the abundance of choice can lead to a bit of gaming ADD. It's so easy to jump from game to game that you have a bunch of games you started but not many completed.

    For those of us who have XGP Ultimate, we pay 180$ 0er year which equals 3 fullprice games. Consoles usually don't sell on average 3 games per console per year; they sell a lot less. This subscription service likely generates value over time that will far exceed that old model of selling individual games. It's no different than movie streaming services and it's likely the new model for consumers going forward.

    • @danielowentech
      @danielowentech  3 года назад +9

      I may do some follow up content about game pass, but I want to get the Big Navi videos out while the info is fresh. You are using your own hardware to run the game. So it is basically like subscribing to a library of games that can rotate in and out over time. Games in the library are basically just like they would be on Steam or similar services. You download and install it if you want to play it. The difference is that you don't own the game, so if you stop subscribing or the game rotates off the list, you will lose access (although you can buy the games at a discounted rate to keep them permanently). Microsoft does bundle in their cloud streaming beta if you sign up for the "ultimate" version, but at least for now the streaming service does not exist on PC. It works on Android phones (and I think it works on Xbox as well, but I don't currently own one to verify that.

      Its not streaming, you download the game and play it on your pc/xbox like you would with steam (or any digital marketplace) only caveat is that when they game gets removed from gamepass (only happens with 3th party titles) you have to buy it if you want to continue playing. But this usely comes with a pretty decent discount.
      On the other hand Xcloud comes for free with gamepass and let's you stream your games directly to any android (and ios and pc soon).

    I absolutely love game pass for my Xbox series x and for my PC. They have some major AAA games. Xbox game pass is basically dominating right now and they are getting some high-end studios on board. They even getting some PlayStation exclusives. Microsoft did this and they did it right. This was definitely one of their best decisions and it is paying off for them. EA is a part of game pass now. So now you can expect huge EA titles to be on game pass as a part of your subscription. Such as the battlefield series

    With game pass I'm inclined to try lots of different games and see if anything sticks. If it does I usually look for a Steam sale and add it to the library if its something I'll keep playing. Games that are 'one and done' work too since they can be finished on game pass and you never have to shell out 60 bucks for a AAA game that you never play again. The try before you buy aspect is what I like the most.

    I've had Ultimate since the Series X launched. At first, I felt like "Ok, new console, nothing new at launch, a bunch of old games on GamePass..." but then better stuff showed up, and they've been acquiring studios at an aggressive pace. To echo one of your points, I spent way too much time playing Halo Infinite, and that alone would have been $60. Still, after being a console gamer since the Atari 2600, I'm done with the console ecosystems in general. I just went all PC even though I have to lose my Microsoft Store games. I'll switch to the cheaper PC Game Pass once my Ultimate expires. As you said, it keeps getting better.

It like saying you like a movie on Netflix and your friend has Netflix so they can watch it right now.
      If I did ever subscribe it might just be for a month at a time randomly. I'd use it like a Demo service or to play/beat games I'd never buy otherwise. I also heard while you have the service you can get discounts on all games on the service, so if you end up liking one you can buy it for cheaper, own it, and cancel the service.

Also, I've seen some comments saying that if you start playing a game and then the game is taken out of the game pass or you cancel your subscription the progress that you made in that game will be gone? cause for me I really want to try out forza 4. I've been waiting for steam to give a deal to it so I can buy it for less than 60 dollars. and if I buy it later on steam is it possible to transfer the progress that I've done in the game pass account ?

    • @danielowentech
      @danielowentech  3 года назад +1

      The sub is month to month, so cancel anytime. So $1 for one month is all you will pay if you cancel before it renews. If you let it renew, I think it will only be one month, not a larger contract. As for progress in games, it might vary on a game by game basis, but i doubt transferring progress to Steam would work.

      @Sporke when you first sign up for game pass ultimate you only have to pay a dollar for the first month. However they have a conversion ratio for Xbox live gold it 1:1. So Xbox game pass ultimate comes with Xbox live, game pass for PC and console, xcloud and ea play. So let's do some math, game pass ultimate is $15 a month. $15 * 12 = $180 a year. If you have Xbox live you can convert the remaining Xbox live into game pass ultimate months. So let's say you had seven months of Xbox live left and then you convert it to game pass ultimate so you have seven months left plus they give you an extra month for free so you now have 8 months of game pass ultimate. So if you buy three 12-month Xbox live then you can get 36 months of game pass ultimate for the same price as one year of game pass ultimate.

    @lightsoda7445 2 года назад +7

    The thing is - Game Pass is filled with shovelware - and not every game you want is going to be on Game Pass. So while you spend $120 a year - you may only like 3 or 4 out of the current titles and may not like any more for a while. Thus, you pay $240-$360 over 3 years, not really having the AAA titles you actually desire and only maybe liking 3-4 in those years. Thus - your budget over 3 years is blown and the AAA titles that come out for those 3 years (which is more likely) is gone by your wayside. Not to mention that the price per month will inevitably increase just like Netflix. And ever wonder how you pay for Netflix every month yet you spend more time scrolling and searching for something to watch rather than watching? It's a big placebo effect tricking you into thinking you're getting a good deal, but in actuality, you're not. You're being fed old games to distract you from demanding (and financing) good titles that are actually worthwhile.

    I can't stop looking at your fuzzy mic cover that keeps popping up to say hi. I think it would be more fun if you added googly eyes to it. Just say'n. Oh and agree on the games pass.

      Lol. This was one of my very early videos and I wasn't quite as 'pro' with my mic placement. It sat there with like 20 views for weeks and then suddenly started getting more once my channel picked up steam.

    I got the pass but I don’t think my laptop is powerful enough for some of the newer games

    How does game pass work? Do I download the games or stream them?

    • @danielowentech
      @danielowentech  3 года назад +1

      Download. Although the Ultimate version comes with a cloud streaming beta for Android phones.

    Is this a video game streaming service or do the games use the hardware of your pc to run?

    • @danielowentech

      They use the hardware of your pc to run. But if you get the Ultimate version it also has streaming to Android phones.
