It’s been amazing value for me - I’d spent a decade away from video games outside of Nintendo, so I had a giant backlog - I’ve played over 100 in the last 12 months on my Series X.

However, I’m noticing diminishing returns, since I’m spending a lot of time on games like Mass Effect, which are cheap to buy. There’s also a lot of games in genres I don’t like e.g JRPG, fighting, sports, and also plainly bad games.

The balance of good new games vs ones leaving the service is pretty poor, too. If I wasn’t locked into another year, I’d drop it for a while.

TLDR - look at the catalogue, work out how much it would cost to buy the games you’d play, and then decide.

I would say yes. For me it’s nice not having to buy random games for my kids on the Xbox that they may or may not keep playing. There’s such a large library on Game Pass for them to mess around with. For me, being able to stream games to my phone/tablet and PC has been a game changer. I usually don’t play faster paced game so the occasional signal dip (only on my phone and tablet) doesn’t bother me and I can play the same save across all devices. And if I’m being honest if I’m on a decent connection the gameplay is perfectly fine mobile.

It’s probably the first thing I suggest to people that are not regular gamers, and are getting back into things.

Even for myself, someone who buys plenty of releases, each month I ask myself “Could I maybe unsubscribe from Game Pass?” and then they make announcements of a bunch of cool games appearing on it soon.

Admittedly, psychology results in me playing a number of old, familiar games, but I’m still really happy for the indie games that get attention they otherwise wouldn’t.

Depends on your existing library of games.

I am absolutely loving it. I have both a Series X and a Rog Ally. Been playing all the AAA games on the X while leaving the Indies to my Ally.
