Day One Gamepass for PC Release

[Pharos]

It seems like they kinda avoided showing that until today, or I somehow completely missed it until now.
Anyway its awesome news since I keep Gamepass for PC for a myriad of other reasons.

Its been known for at least 6 days now

Naw it was showing up as coming soon on the PC app, it just definitely wasn't added correctly and is causing a ton of confusion because I saw it there like an hour ago and now its poofed. I assumed it was them just making it active in the backend

Reloaded the launcher and is there now. Downloading it as we speak - PC gamepass.

Just search for it in MS Store and install. It always takes a beat for the Xbox app to update.

Cool. I totally want to pay monthly or lose access to every game.
I'll just buy it and own it without recurring fees, thanks.

[LEET RAGE]

great news.

There it is...bit of a delay.
Doc this game has no sandbox and its a campaign on rails. Very little replay value. Ill rent it and be done with it in less than a week and not pay 50 for the smallest mech games in decades. Go look at mechwarrior 5 and see how much more content it has.

Or you can use it to try games, and then buy them. The monthly fee is really affordable.

Definitely saved a lot of money by going gamepass, plenty of options, just need to bear in mind that not every game will end up on gamepass.

After I finish games I almost never play them again. I imagine most people barely have time to play all the new games they want to play let alone keep playing the same old things repeatedly.

If I really wanted to go back to a game pass game in the future purchasing it at that point will cost 80% less anyway.

So yeah, losing access to a game I finished and haven't touched since is not that big of a deal to me.
