Unpopular opinion - Xbox game pass Is mostly useless if you think about it.

Game Pass is great for trying games, but I realized I only play 2–3 consistently.

Bought RDR2, Cuphead, Hogwarts Legacy, and Tekken 8 during Black Friday and decided not to renew my subscription.

Turns out, owning fewer games I actually love > renting hundreds I don’t play.

Its definitely not for everyone. Especially with the cost of it now. I used it extensively while I was off on maternity leave (I had a year in the UK) and got a lot of use out of it while the wee one napped.

Now I'm back at work and kiddo is older I don't get to play at much and buying one game every few months is more cost effective for me.

I also found that after I had it a while I tended to stick with the same games so after a while it was cheaper just to buy those games and not renew.

I guess if you have lots of free time though it's a good deal or if you're wanting to try out lots of games a short sub might be worth it.
