Because I have been bad about buying games and not playing them recently, I am going to start with Game Pass. If I am going to actually play the game (instead of dick around) I plan to buy it on Steam.
 
On my lazy chair, Day 1 on Xbox Series X, I will take two days off work for it and just soak it in like I did skyrim
 
Going to play the Steam version on PC. Hopefully it runs well enough on Steam Deck. My son is play the standard GP version on PC and he'll probably use xCloud for playing on Deck.
 
PC Game Pass primary, probably doing some remote play on Game Pass Mobile and some Xbox Series S when I am not at the PC.
 
Series X. I'll play it on GP but that runs out in late October, at which time I'll likely just buy the game so I don't have to stay subbed. I've been letting these subscription services run out, and not renewing them when they do.
 
PC but unfortunately the Microsoft Store because I used GameStop Pro Rewards on Xbox cards. On the flip side it will be only $25 out of pocket.
 
Probably Steam, in the future. I have other games in my line up right now.
 
Yeah man...I am ready

I have had some great experiences playing Starfield on xcloud recently. I have an hour to kill 3 times a week, so I started bringing my Kishi. It feels really good, I would equate it to playing on a tv that does not have game mode turned on.

One thing I am not a fan of is the more frequent queues. It kind of kills the spontaneity of the whole deal when you have to wait 5 minutes. They should add some sort of simple game to the wait screen.

I'm glad I chose PC
rtx 3070 / 2700x
4k dlss performance (destroys and demolishes xbox series x's 4k fsr quality by a longshot. better temporal stability, and good clarity thanks to CAS sharpening anyways lol)
36-42 FPS in atlantis/gagarin and alike (much much smoother and responsive than 30 FPS on xbox series x)
practically nearly 60 fps in planets and open areas and indoors. just preem. it just flows

the dumb bethesda devs literally stranded the game to 30 fps for the sake of game running at 30-35 fps in most likely %15-20 of the gameplay (the dumb small atlantis city that barely any combat action takes place)

it is crazy. this is why I will never go consoles. nope, nada.

the fact they relied on dumb FSR 2 instead of putting actual work to make their own decent upscaler (like imsomniac, santa monica and guerilla did) is another huge problem.

also looting with gamepad is super tiring. I enjoy the game much more with keyboard and mouse
