Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Introducing Xbox Game Pass: Unlimited Access to More Than 100 Games

Looking forward to this, sounds very similar to PSNow just half the price and dont have to worry about bandwidth or streaming issues.

I wonder why they didnt wait to announce this at E3, would have been pretty big even if they did delay the launch.

They're probably spending their time and focus on scorpio. I know there is games they haven't announced yet for the scorpio.



One service is enough for me and that's ps plus. I don't bother with ps now.

If I was on xbox, Xbox games with gold would do me. I'd not bother with EA access or this.



HOLY VALUE the scorpio cannot come fast enough, all those games for this price, WOW just wow I wasn't expecting this at all :O

I'd like to get more detail on windows 10 devices plox

Only for the play anywhere titles (obvious) and maaaaaaaybe in case they port the 360 emulator.

As a PC only owner, this service won't be worth $10 a month.

Why not actually just giving the same games to Xbox Live instead? Why paying two subscriptions? 15$ a month if you wanna enjoy these free games and still play online (like the Halo 5 they are showing).



For $10 a month it sounds really amazing. When I first read the thread title I assumed it was either trolling or just a theoretical idea. Very shocked by this.

Roll this up into XBLG as maybe XBL Platinum and yep, great idea. Maybe even drop the GWG in favour of this (sorry if this was mentioned before, I didn't read the whole thread)

Yea but this could mean halo 5 and mcc might make their way onto pc which are really the games I want to play. I'd pay $10 for 1 month to play those two for sure.

Whats your view on Playstation Now?

Not a fan of games as a service, to be honest. Having your collection behind a paywall doesn't sound desirable to me.

Exactly. Not to mention the psychology behind it. Ever hear the old expression "Christmas wouldn't be Christmas if it happened every single day"? When we have too much of a good thing, it becomes less "good" to the point where the entire experience is dulled and becomes mundane. This service, along with services like it, are not good for the consumer in that regard.
