    Just a heads up, PC game pass won’t be increasing in price and the games that are being removed are Exo One, Paw Patrol, and Spelunky 2. Xbox removes games from the game pass rotation quite often, wasn’t too happy when they removed Katamari Damacy.

      Oh that’s good to hear. I am one of the few that has yet to try out the PC game pass, so hearing this made me less interested.

        PC version is nice to play first party titles, but everything else is pretty hit or miss. A good use is getting an extended trial of several games and then buying them on a steam sale or something. It’s not a very good deal unless you can play through at least one game every 2 months roughly.

          I’ve held off because my schedule has been so hectic, so glad to hear that was a good move too.

    This has been a trend for a lot of tech related things in this economy. Higher prices, less features, worse user experience.

      With game pass we are still in the growth phase, so it’s still gaining features (at least on PC) and the user experience is improving little by little…

    I pay for gamepass to get 2 AAA titles a year and then everything else is a bonus.

    So far it’s not really lived up to that.
