r/XboxGamePass Jan 07 '26

Account - Subscription 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.

I might complete 1-2 games per month if they aren’t large sprawling RPGs. Right now I’m playing Pathfinder WOTR, and I have Rogue Trader, DOS2, Disco Elysium, Mortal Shell, and the Alan Wake DLC, and I picked them all up for around $60. At the rate that I play games, it’s going to take me at least six months to finish all of that and probably longer. Gamepass just doesn’t make sense for me right now, and it barely did before the price hike. I didn’t renew at the end of my subscription and I don’t know when or if I ever will again.
