It won't be successful though.... Fanboys have told me people don't like renting their games
For three years? It is unless you're a peasant.$181 isn't "dirt cheap".
$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$181 isn't "dirt cheap".
This argument gets weaker and weaker with every new milestone announcementThree months of GamePass for $1.
Stockpiling Xbox Live Gold service (up to 36 months total), then converting it all to Game Pass Ultimate for just $1 extra through this deal - three years of Game Pass Ultimate for $181.
I thought this was well known? Part of the reason the service is popular with gamers is because it's a massive loss leader.
I don’t know if you’re truthfully trying to engage in conversation here but it’s currently got;And without a 90+ Metacritic AAA game. Now just wait until that happens. That's when Playstation should be in panic mode.
Ah yeah sorry, its odd not having the pass if you own an xbox or even a pc...For not having gamepass
Err yes...that's a logical POV.This argument gets weaker and weaker with every new milestone announcement
Yes it is.$181 isn't "dirt cheap".
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?$181 isn't "dirt cheap".
Corona loves game passHoly smokes, 5mil this quarter?. Its been going up by 2 or 3mil every quarter.
No stopping this train!.

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 exploding23 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.

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.
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.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.
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.It feels like 90% of this forum right now is discussions on "rumors" and other made up news. Why are we so obsessed about debating topics where the very premise is the figment of someone's imagination? Especially when the actual news is coming so shortly.
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).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.
Microsoft is revealing today that it now has 15 million Xbox Game Pass subscribers. That’s up 50 percent from the 10 million the company previously disclosed back in April. Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that offers access to a growing selection of more than 100 Xbox games for $9.99 per month.

OT - Very impressive numbers and like others have said these numbers will explode once the AAA first party games start hitting.
I know it's a great value and nothing against those who enjoy the service, and I know it's been discussed at length, but I'm just not in favor of a "Netflix" model for gaming. I like to "own" and play my library at my leisure, and I also think that a subscription service will ultimately be a negative for the industry at large. It will gradually erode into a more "disposable/throwaway" mentality towards development and content imho. Passion and real creativity will ultimately die on the altar. (at least in terms of "mainstream" offerings)
This isn’t an announcement. It’s a Twitter post with 2 different numbers and the thread is under the rumor category.
.lol this is even without any big AAA release.
Exclusive ES6 is going to make the subs explode.
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.Up from 10 million last April.
13 million in 1 year.
36 million next year?
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.Up from 10 million last April.
13 million in 1 year.
36 million next year?
It's great isn't it. The chance to play old and new games.... all in one place! Love it.That's a whole lot of people paying to play Skyrim in 2021.
This isn’t an announcement. It’s a Twitter post with 2 different numbers and the thread is under the rumor category.
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.lol this is even without any big AAA release.
Exclusive ES6 is going to make the subs explode.
It could buy 2 and 1/2 sony first party titles.$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
27.I wonder how many Subscribers PlayStation Now has?

The guy who said it. A clear example of a divWhat is divs?
Three months of gamepass works only for the first time.Three months of GamePass for $1.
Stockpiling Xbox Live Gold service (up to 36 months total), then converting it all to Game Pass Ultimate for just $1 extra through this deal - three years of Game Pass Ultimate for $181.

Why does that matter?23m is good but watch MS's earnings next week to see how much it's actually bringing in.
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!
