Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
SF is 3 months away, about time they open pre-orders.
Also reportedly, that Starfield themed controller and headset will be going for orders post-showcase as well.

If the twitter tease wasn't enough they've been tweeting about Fable for the last year, game is obviously coming along quickly and I can't wait to see what PG have done with it.

Why pay for gamepass to only play starfield?
Joking aside, people want to own their games. You can't keep subbing to gamepass forever.

Not everybody pays for a subscription service.

GreenMan Gaming seemingly confirms that Starfield pre orders are happening after the direct next week. They specify to “check the direct out and wishlist now”
Also, Jeff Grubb changes his mind, wouldn’t he surprised Fable will be at the event.
Way to go out on a limb there Jeff!

Dumb question perhaps - Is it possible to use mods on Windows Store / PC Gamepass versions?
My plan right now is to go with the Steam versions just to not be locked out from mods.

You can. But steam is still superior.

Why else?
Redfall? Halo Infinite Multiplayer?
I sure was expecting to get a whole lot more from Gamepass than I did so far, yet here we are.
I'm sure as hell not going to pay extra for Starfield when it's one of the very few things in the horizon that makes me take advantage of Gamepass..

I am paying gamepass for games that I can't buy due to my budget limitation.
Certain games are day1 for me and will be steam.
For other Xbox games, I am not going to buy them as I am not fan of them so they will be gamepass day1 for me(halo, Forza)

So you consider Gamepass to be a 3rd rate method of playing games?

The only reason I would pre-order Starfield would be to get the limited edition bundle which I believe comes with a cool looking watch. Other than that, GamePass all day.

It's accomodations for my budget limitation.
It's the only way I can play all systems (same with PS+ premium).

Why would anyone preorder this game? It’s Bethesda, it’s Microsoft, it’s a single player game, just buy it when it comes out and reviews are there.

That’s free without Game Pass.

Same reason as why people preorder every game.

Not really. We haven't even seen a preorder.

You can subscribe to gamepass for as long as please, and keep the first party games on there indefinitely, but you will have to buy your dlc which will become unusable once you drop gamepass. LOL!!! I suppose it's the same on the Playstation side.

Exactly. It’s Bethesda

And that is why people want to pre order it.
Skyrim and fallout 4 space game.

Iirc there was trouble to get access to the files in Windows Store versions in the past. Is that still why Steam versions are superior?
I just want full access to mods, no restrictions. Skyrim with mods is among my top all time favorite games.

I think the problem is paying 180$ a year nonstop.
And the possibility of losing it, when you unsub the service.

Windows made it harder due to file restrictions. Now that MS lifted it, you can mod it.
The difference is that steam has steam workshop.
That headset and controller will sell out fast.People wanting them better keep that in mind.

Ah okay, better but I understand, Steam it is then
Not every Xbox or PC owner is a GP subscriber. But you already knew that.
Halo Infinite multiplayer was F2P, so I’m not sure how you’re talking that up with Gamepass.

It almost puts one in the position of playing the main game and being done with it rather than spending a ton of money on the game just out of principal. I wonder if people feel okay with buying parts of the game that will be unusable once you unsubscribe?
It's quite a conundrum.
Does one simply appreciate the main game is part of the sub and feel okay paying for something extra that will not work once you unsub?
I get why third parties do this, they put the games on their hoping for the monetization. That's reasonable. But there is the fact the game is getting pulled sooner or later.
I just think Microsoft should give you the whole enchilada with 1st party games.
Right or wrong, I remember thinking Fallout 3 game of the year edition would be a given on gamepass, to be a little shocked you still had to pay 20 bucks for the dlc. I think you get the entire thing on pc, but unfortuntaley that thing won't even boot through pc gamepass for me.

That is not the point.
I like to own my games. I am not going to rely on a sub to play these games. I am human being and there will be a time, when gamepass has no value for me.
The service isn't an issue. I just don't want to lose my ability to play the game, because I am not subbing to a service.

Fable was announced 3 years ago, it's about time they show something.

These insiders are amazing. Predicting games Xbox basically already told us themselves and games that were known from the Nvidia leak.
How do they do it?

Those headsets are £80 right now, direct from Xbox. What makes the Starfield one worth an extra £35?

Not arguing with you it's a valid point. I got game pass when building a pc during the pandemic seemed nightmarish due to pricing. And I've come to realize I would be happier staying on Steam buying the games. You start one game on game pass knowing you can't play everything, and it sort of becomes something you sort of need to rush through.
It has its plusses, but it also has it's downsides. (Especially if you are ocd about some things like me LOL). I think I am going to let my sub lapse though.

Why are we still talking about gaming subscriptions like someone who time-traveled from the 80's attempting to wrap their heads around how Netflix works? No shit you lose access to the games if you cancel your sub, PS+ was doing that 13 years ago.

It's a good for games like age of empires and city skylines. 2 games which I want to try this weekend.
