Seems MS are starting their own EA Access style subscription services which will give you access to over 100 games, a 20% discount on games and 10% off dlc for titles currently on the Game Pass. Seems interesting but the wording makes it look like games will be rotated instead of being on the Game Pass permanently.

This aspect of Xbox is rock solid. I could have used it when the 360 came out. I've 100 titles which I bought cheap and fooled myself into thinking.I'd get around to playing them.

With games pass I've downloaded a few games which I was interested in and thankfully I didn't waste money 'picking them up cheap'.

There have been games I've bought on sale digitally which have ended up on there which has lead me to just waiting because it looks like every game will either be on gold or here at some stage.

A few exceptions being was access titles and rockstar titles. I don't do CoD.

Overall a great purchase.

If what, game pass just saves me a ton of money. Few times now I wanted to buy a game, but was waiting for a sale. Then it came out on game pass and it was crap or just not as cool as reviews or videos made it to be.
My latest example was We happy few. Wanted to get it, because of very cool and interesting universe, but after good few hours I just gave up on it. Again, game pass saved me about 30 quid.

Valid points. To me games pass was worth it for Microsoft AAA games like Gears of War, Forza etc. They are normally 70 euro a piece. I have 2 years of games pass for 70 euro. I am getting my AAA games and countless other very good indie games for the price of what one AAA game would have cost me.

Games pass is a no brainer.

Don't think it's been mentioned in here but I've just logged onto my Xbox and there's an offer for Game Pass, 3 months at 67%off so basically 3 months for the price of 1 at €9.99 that's a good deal for anyone who hasn't gotten it and are thinking about it

CatInABox

They're teasing more games, including one on the 31st.

Anyone like to speculate?

xPixelx

Very hard to do seeing as it could be an old or a new title I can only think because of crackdown3 being a big title the rest will be past indie games or old games

dbloke

TrueAchievements having a crack at it:

https://www.trueachievements.com/n36182/xbox-game-pass-teases-februarys-titles

Their theories so far:

January 31st
Thimbleweed Park or Trackmania Turbo

February
Crackdown 3
Nidhogg 2
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
Schrödinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark
Bendy and the Ink Machine

That's the main point for me. I get Forza games, State of Decoy etc.
Yeah, sure, not all of the games they add I want or play, but they add stuff I do want. Mutant Year Zero was freaking amazing and I can't wait to see sequal. I would not had bought that and might had never played it, but now, even if sequal is not going to gamepass, I will buy it.

This times 10, I swear I loaded it up thinking nothing of it and was hooked was great very simple in the sense of not having 90 weapons and 50 spells to choose from but I feel that actually worked great for it the story line was simplistic and great I really really enjoyed Mutant Year Zero.

Tom Clancy's The Division might be nice to see if you like its play style The Division 2 comes out in march and if your pre-order it you will get access to the beta on the 7th Feb - 10th Feb Pre-order wont cost you anything until march anyway so you can cancel it before it. But yeah give it a shot and see then you dont need any pre order messing if you don't like it...

Personally I've 240hours in The Division Loved the game...

dr.kenneth noisewater

Downloaded the Division at the wkd to play soon so thats disappointing to hear

GSRNBP

I gave The Division a shot, seemed very interesting but I just couldn't get used to the mechanics of the game. I think you'll know pretty quickly whether it's for you or not.

starting playing The Division with a friend. really good game!

Its a really excellent game, IMO the reviews were pretty mixed which I was surprised at.
You tend to be able to pick it up pretty cheap, outside of gamepass.

gmg678

Yeah I picked it up ages ago on CDkeys for really cheap. Just never got a round to playing it.
we threw it on last week. From that he bought the game and I bought the season pass as both were on sale last week. Its really enjoyable but are staying out of the Dark Zone till we are higher levels.

It's probably just not out yet, publishing an update to the stores can take longer than expected sometimes.

ShadowHearth

Lads, do you better off starting earlier Tomb Raider games or you can go right to Shadow one? Never played new Games, so don't know if it's worth going from start.

I'd probably go from the start. All 3 games are in Game Pass too.
