The Future of Xbox's dominant First Party and the GamePass revolution is already here

Yep, I meant Death stranding Director’s Cut

It’s even more insane that even listing 18 games you can still miss some

For example As Dusk Falls, Project Mara, Forza Motosport… And some that while not announced we are sure are coming such as Gears 6 or Wolfestein 3

That’s true. Gears 6 and Wolfenstein 3 would make it 20. lol

Microsoft has a shit ton of games and once they start releasing later this year, it will be a snowball effect.

@YoungGrumpyMan

Thinking of subscribing to GP on the long term now?

I am currently subscribed until March 2023, considering subscribing even more months until 2024 right now.

Hahaha. I have Game Pass Ultimate until August 28th or something like that. The reason I don’t subscribe long term is because I don’t use it consistently but it is an excellent service with excellent value for the consumer.

I said Nintendo, not Microsoft. It’s entirely possible and even likely that you’re right, I just don’t want to take it as a fact

That aside, I don’t like comparing lists in general so I’ll just say that I’m extremely satisfied with my investment in an extended Game Pass Ultimate subscription

I guess my point was that games built with lower fidelity like Nintendo games (not dissing them, just much less tech dependence on their games) can be made quietly and come outta nowhere as they do on Switch. However, games for the higher end consoles/PC targets tend to not come outta nowhere. Sony likes to highlight its indies when it has stuff exclusive and we have seen just a few of those games for 2021, so it seems super unlikely to me that they will find a batch to compete with Xbox last minute.

Ah gotcha! That makes a lot more sense, thanks for clarifying.
