Xbox Game Pass Sign-Ups "Really Strong"

This is more like EA Access than Netflix - Which isn't a Bad thing !!

Really strong? Lmao that's because everyone's in the trial period. Soon as it ends barely anyone will keep it. I started my free trial over the weekend and there's nothing to make me want to keep it after it ends.

1. Obviously as it's giving everyone 14 days free, so who wouldn't try it - the retention figures are the important ones

2. Stop calling it the 'Netflix of games' that's what psnow is - streaming just like Netflix. This is more like the EA access of other developers

The problem for me is I own all the games I would be interested in playing, most for quite a while now. They need a bigger selection in my opinion. A lot of the games are 7 or 8 year old xbox360 games. Some might find value, but I don't and for that reason, I'm out (shark tank)

It's a good idea and for sure the free trial is appealing. It will be interesting to see long term figures for this.

I'm not sure this is good for developers though. How do they benefit from this longer term?

I won't buy game x and wait till its on the download service.

I could see myself paying for a month here and there to be honest to play a couple of games I would otherwise not buy once Zodiac age, Elite and Skyrim Switch are all finished up.

This doesnt look good for future gaming at all sure its a nice option to have if you can afford it but who says microsoft wont try the same no second hand games if this catches on like they wanted to before the x1 launched. Hopefully this will be just a lesser evil playstation game streaming service but this makes me a little worried for the future.

While I may not use it myself I think that it's a great idea and definitely a better option then streaming games.

I'll wait till there a 3 6 or a yearly payment option available before i dive in

I can see this eventually being on PC when more "play anywhere" titles are available.

While I like the idea, and I'm glad my xbox has a comparable service to PSNOW.... PSNOW has more games that I actually want to play... Game Pass is a little too similar to Netflix in that it's like sprinkled with a few legit good things, surrounded by content that is basically filler in terms of games you'd want to seriously spend time playing.

It's like I do get the politics and barriers behind the scenes of why these services are like this, but its just annoying.

EDITED: To tone down my Playstation praise, considering it seemed a little to fanboy original.

@toonarmy20: said no one ever. Seriously, what do people not get about 2:1 ?

ms changing the gaming world. sony still won't let ea access come to ps4. smh.

Great value and all but how come no one's commenting that this is an article on a tweet.

Good price, even in Australia. As I already have too large a back catalogue I'll have to wait until I'm ready. There were a few games in the list of 100 I'd like to play/try.

I look forward to seeing what it has once I finish my current list of incomplete/yet-started games.

As an aside, would this devalue the 2nd hand trade? hmm

Not surprised at all it's great value for gamers. Microsoft Xbox One, for the players lol.?✌️

I might sign up for the free trial, but from my perspective, gamefly is still a better value, since it offers so much more and includes new titles.
