This is/ was clearly the goal with the service, yes. It just takes a bit of time to ramp up launch day deals and 1st party content. Quite excited to see where the service is at in a year or two. I already have more games than I have time to play, but at least I'm never bored. Dark Alliance was a nice (recent) surprise, since I love me 3rd person fantasy titles, especially with co-op.
Agreed. It's amazing how narrow sighted people are who think it's impossible for every game, from every publisher, including AAA games, to release on Gamepass on day 1.
I was once a subscription doubter and thought it was impossible, but Microsoft have so much money, they could easily throw billions at publishers for their games to come to Gamepass.
I don't give a shit how much it'll cost per month, and if it means my games are locked to a Gamepass account. I just don't want to buy another £70 game ever again. I want the greatest games of all time day one on Gamepass.
I'd also pay the same if Sony did this with PS Now, but I doubt Sony have the same financial clout to make it work. I'd certainly sign up to a Sony subscription service if their sweet, sweet exclusive games were on PS Now on day one!
Interesting.... I was thinking of buying it. I won't now though.... if another platform gets it for practically free, I certainly ain't paying 80 for it. Hahaha!
This was one of the only remaining (already announced) games coming out this year that I planned to buy, so if true this is pretty huge. Game Pass keeps on delivering
Unless a game is COD, I think just about every other studio making shooter games is looking at F2P or sub models as an option. It can be much more worth it to give away the game and make bank on mtx from boatloads of gamers then get $70 (more like $50 after digital cut fee), and live off a smaller gamer pool hoping it works.
Heck, even Activision does it with free Warzone as a carrot to pay mtx, and then get them to buy the rest of the game.
I think the best thing about game pass is the fact all your mates with an xbox probably have it too, and it means you all have access to the games and can enjoy them together.

Games with Co op all coming to game pass that I'm looking forward to playing with friends.
