How do you guys deal with choice fatigue? With gamepass and digital libraries including backwards compatible games I sometimes feel overwhelmed with choice. Having a wife and kids, and a full time job, also limits the time I'm able to game.

I'm in EXACLTY the same boat! I have a 2 year old toddler. I'm personally only able to game 2 to 3 nights a week after putting the baby down for the night, and of course spending the rest of my evenings with my wife. So I'm personally VERY selective over what I play. There's times where I'll spend two months with only one or two games lol.

I'm a big FPS, WRPG, and Strategy fan, and this year lately, Survival Horror fan. I'm also a fan of specific studios like Obsidian, Bethesda Game Studios, and Capcom, which I also take into consideration. 

So I'll look at the list of upcoming games that fit that criteria and deduce from there. I definitely try out new games that look interesting to me like Hi-Fi Rush. Which I personally loved, and I'll plan out accordingly the order of games I'll play. That at least means I always have something to play

This month was supposed to be Redfall but turned out to be a bust for me. I don't waste my time playing a game that is going to be a drag. So I'm going to try out Ravenlock and Atomic Heart since the rest of the month is pretty slow.

I also only use Game Pass on months where there's a specific game I want to play. Redfall I decided was going to be a GP title for me, so I subscribed for the month of May.
