It won't be successful though.... Fanboys have told me people don't like renting their games

23 Mill sounds just about right.. i feel like
Xbox has a base of xbox fans that is around 20- 40 million. every gen. Id be really surprised when it goes above 50 mill.
i dont feel like game pass will be reached beyond the xbox Loyals or the BC lovers. Give or take some new folks.

For three years? It is unless you're a peasant.
$181 could buy ALOT of games on steam XD... its cheap if you were already planning on having gold though /shrug but not cheap in a pure direct way of looking at it moneywise

I don’t know if you’re truthfully trying to engage in conversation here but it’s currently got;
Forza Horizon 4 (92 metacritic)
GTA V (97 metacritic)
Monster Hunter World (90 metacritic)
The Witcher 3 (93 metacritic)
Upcoming;
Flight Simulator (91 metacritic)
AA space;
Hollow Knight (not rated on Xbox or PS but 90 metacritic on Switch)
Ori and the Will of the Wisps (90 metacritic)
There’s probably more that I’m forgetting and if you count 360 games there’s even more like Gears of War.

For 3 years of online play that usually costs £40-£50 a year on Xbox and PS, plus you get Game Pass for Xbox, PC, EA Play and Xcloud chucked in as well? How is that not dirt cheap?

I don't see the title of Mod or Hall Monitor under your user name so if you don't have anything actually worthwhile to contribute, maybe you should just move along instead of doing your usual trolling.
Xbox Game Pass General Discussion
EL Edit: Notable announcements can get their own threads. Monthly sets of regular releases can get their own threads. General ongoing talk can go here to cut down on the daily hype wars and bickering threads. Gamepass has definitely mixed up console gaming more than anything else in...www.neogaf.com
OT - Very impressive numbers and like others have said these numbers will explode once the AAA first party games start hitting.

100% of the “Gamepass is terrible” GAFfers will immediately change their opinions the minute Sony announces their equivalent service.This forum puzzles me sometimes.
"Gamepass will be the death of gaming and is pushing a soulless subscription model that will degrade quality industry wide"
"Yes yes indeed. Agreed."
*also this sub*
*gamepass got more subs*
"YAAAAAAY WOOOOO GO MICROSOFT! YESSSS GAMEPASS!!"
lol na man. is simply the best deal in gaming right now ...and it's exploding

How I see it, if MS can get 50 million loyal customers that subscribe to gamepass they will be just as happy as say a Sony that has 120 million consoles sold but only 50 million of those subscribe to ps plus.
I mean I'm not privy to the costs etc and how it pays out from a profit perspective but you still have the same amount of subscribers on your service rolling in a monthly or yearly value.

One thing i dont understand about MS's current strategy is that no doubt most of these subs are on Xbox one and PC. So what happens when these next gen only games like avowed and fable start to drop and xbox series S/X hardware is till sitting at 10-15 million units sold 3 years into the generation? Does xcloud run the game for xbox one owners? Doesnt that sort of defeat the purpose of "12 teraflops," which raises the question, why have the series S/X in the first place?

Don't be cute. You know what I mean.
New First-Party Games AAA or AAAA (lol) games that are designed to be day one on game pass.
A comparison would be the Mandalorian, Wanda Vision for Diney+ Or Stranger Things for Netflix. I think the only game that fits that premise is Halo Infinite...But it is going to be that 90+ game that Xbox has to be waiting for a long ass time or is it going to be another lackluster Halo entry? Only time will tell.

Eh?, it will be just like when the cross gen period ends this gen, everything will be on the next gen consoles, same with Gamepass.

I am enjoying the service a lot.
Already finished Gears 5, Control, Fallout 4, Outer Worlds on it.
In just over 2 months. It does gets you playing more.

You can bet your ass I won't
I see the benefits of GP for any Xbox owner (if I had one, I would be subed).
But I'm one of those that think that the math just doesnt make sense financially for MS. I see the pricing increasing a lot real soon.
Most importantly, I'm worried about AAA singleplayer games using this model.
I mainly play singleplayer games, and thats Sony's specialty.
See how many Netflix Originals are actually good, and how many shit they release.
After a certain amount of subs is reached, they wont give a damn anymore.

Flight Sim comes out in 2-3 months and the new Forza is rumored to be coming out this year. I can see both of them getting the 90+. Halo Infinite too if they can get the campaign mode right while keeping the multiplayer awesome.

I do agree that the games media has a terrible problem right now with insiders and rumors, but Jez is a legitimate journalists with standards and a proven track record. If we're going to say that the current insider/rumor climate is bad, we need to also point to and celebrate those that you feel are doing it "the right way" and I think Jez is in that camp. The insider/rumor climate will exist as long as there's demand, so the best thing for all of us to do is support and magnify those doing it correctly to reduce the spotlight on those just seeking attention and spouting nonsense.

Flight Sim is not new. The new Forza. Yes, that game has more chances to e a 90+ than Halo. Right now is just a rumor (but we know is coming anyway).

In contrast, gamepass has a lot of xbox one, 360 and original xbox games as well as new games . In fact I've gone back to gems that I never got to play at the time.
Luckiky you'll also be able to buy your games as well as 'renting' them, and unsubscribe if you don't feel its worth it. There seems to be a misconception ON Gaf that once you subscribe you can ever leave..... Even if the service becomes bad.

This isn’t an announcement. It’s a Twitter post with 2 different numbers and the thread is under the rumor category.
The growth is amazing but I was honestly expecting it to have more already considering how many great games have come to gamepass plus all of the deals.
Then again if they can really raise it by 10 million year after year for this gen. That would be insane and it is possible since they do have tons of studios now.

I can see it jumping up a lot when Halo and Starfield hit. If Starfield has good mod tools, then I can see a jump for PC users there as well. At the same time those games are releasing (as it stands now) when other bigger titles for other systems will also be releasing. I could see the number hitting 40 million next year. In general I think the end of this year will be crazy with big titles.
I want to see the users based on what hardware they use the service though.

Exactly, still not 1 AAA from the 1st party studios. Looks like people really enjoy multiplats and “old” games contrarily to what some want to make you believe.

It could buy 2 and 1/2 sony first party titles.
Id rather have every EA game (give or take 6 months), Every MS game, every Bethesda game, and about half of the other relevant AAA titles a few months out of launch.

Steam? Not on day 1, not even on year 1.
If you are a PC gamer, do the 3 years GPU now! While MS turns a blind eye still.
Follow these steps, easy 1-2-3 and you will understand the power of GPU!

Three months of gamepass works only for the first time.
You can't buy a year of gold for 60, expect if you're happy to find some very old stock somewhere. It costs 120 a year now. Besides, even if it was 60 a year, 180 USD is not something I'd consider to be dirt cheap.

Why does that matter?
Like Most subscription services, they don't turn profit or make much until it scales massively. Netflix didn't make money for ages yet their worth was always sky high.
If your saying you know more about financial then subscription services like this then perhaps you should go and work for MS

I wonder how much they make off it with so many people getting a year for 1 dollar.

For just pure quanity of games ya and older games that you can find super cheap, plus the free games that have been on epic games store. Not gonna lie I may give it a chance at some point as there are some games on the list I just looked at that id prob try but my problem is I already have too many games I need to get through as it is.
Some of them that stood out... Octopath Traveler, Nier Automata, Ori, Outer Worlds, and maybe Master Chief collection
Its been on my mind about getting into Xbox ecosystem for years but they just havent had many MUST HAVES that I need to play basically all of last gen and so far this gen.
