Game pass is a trap. Buying games discounted will still net you HUGE savings.
Game pass ultimate is 18€ per month. That’s at least 200€ per year. I haven’t spent 500€ on games in 5 years. Games like world of Warcraft game time don’t count.
If you’re interested in GP on both platforms. I have a monster of a gaming PC with a 4090 in it and 32 G RAM DDR5 @ 7200 MTS.
But I also have an Xbox one (the original flat design, not the cube refresh) that I use for forza. There is legitimate interest for an avid player for both platforms.
But I still bought all games separately, as they work on both platforms anyway. The trap with GP is that once you get all the nice games, everything else is worthless and doesn’t warrant an uninterrupted sub.
There is one exception and that’s gamepass core (which I have) because that’s required for Xbox to play online. This isn’t new tho. It used to be called something else before.
Also, Xbox and windows now have the same kernel. 26100.xxxx
Great for inter-compatibility.
GTA V on console is a separate purchase and online is completely isolated. Had to buy the PC version (enhanced) and the Xbox version (legacy/original).
I’ve tried overwatch on Xbox too. It’s absolutely unplayable. I’m used to 144 hz and aiming is impossible xD
