Still less than half the price of a single AAA game. It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if, within a year, Game Pass is at £20-£25 a month. It stands to reason that price will go way, way north, sooner rather than later. In truth, the price has always felt introductory. Sure, bringing all those one-game-a-year devotees into the Game Pass fold will be beneficial, but nowhere near as profitable as it could be. Microsoft has said it intends to bring “as many as possible” Activision titles to Game Pass, but there’s no way it’s letting the cash cow that is the Call of Duty franchise – Vanguard was the best-selling game of 2021, despite coming out in November, Black Ops Cold War was #2 – become a fragment of an £11 subscription. Despite how much it’ll irk Sony to pull Diablo, Crash Bandicoot and CoD away from PlayStation and potentially cement generational superiority, there’s more at play here. Especially after this week’s developments. I plan to enjoy this while I can because it’s very much on borrowed time. It’s all for less than the current price of Netflix (which I now, ironically, despise paying for). There are all the online benefits you’ll ever need, the chance to play on any device when away from home (or the telly is tied up) and a few additional free games every month. The new Halo, the new Forza Horizon 5, Flight Simulator, Psychonauts 2, and even my old mate NHL ’95, thanks to the EA Play inclusion. Seriously, where else in the entertainment world – let alone gaming – is there better value on offer than Xbox Game Pass right now? It feels too good to be true, like when Netflix first launched streaming for a fiver a month packed with amazing movies and TV shows, not an overwhelming majority of dreadful originals.įor £10.99/$14.99 a month, Game Pass delivers more top games than you’ll ever play, minus the need to buy them outright and lose out if you don’t fall in love with them.
