These are new additions. 

Metal slug and dead rising have been in circulation for a while now. It's a rinse and repeat method, just with different names. A lot of Xbox fans (including myself) have already had some of these games. I'm talking about a new addition to the Xbox ecosystem or from the aaa games lineup.

How can it be rinse and repeat when Metal Slug and Dead Rising 3 haven't been on Game Pass or GwG before?
Great that you've already played them, but fact is that over 90% of Xbox One owners haven't.

Dirt Rally is an AAA game that is out for just over a year. Can't realistically get much more recent than that on that type of service.

Gamepass looks great if you just bought an X1 recently and it will look even better over time.

You still try to tell people you are an "Xbox fan" and it's just coincidence that you always criticize everything around Xbox since like 10 years and never seem to be happy about anything? Mkay...

Don't get me wrong, a fan can obviously also find some stuff bad but if you never seem to like much what Xbox does and always seem to prefer what as example Sony does, you are not really an Xbox fan.

Well, they could release Forza 7 before they put it on a disc!

Gamepass will be huge this holiday. MS is bundling a free trial of it with Madden 18 so for their holiday bundles I can see them doing the same.

They should start bundling a 1-month trial with every single console, it's a great service and people need to know about it. It's biggest obstacle atm is so many people don't know about it.

No thanks.



d21lewis on 29 July 2017

Pretty good deal for $9.99 or whatever.

The thing with Gamepass is - if you're been an XBL subscriber for a few years, and you're diligent about getting every free game, you already own a whole bunch of these.

Don't forget the Playstation game avatar... ;)

With that. It is okay to criticise <insert platform here> if you have a legitimate <insert reason here>.
These companies do take note of consumer sentiment and thus make changes, Microsoft has done amazing well with the Xbox One in that regard and should be applauded for that.
