In February of 2017, we were introduced to the Xbox Game Pass. A service set upon the concept of giving all players instant unlimited access to a vast library of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games all connected to $9.99 a month subscription. Upon its release, Executive Vice President of Gaming Phil Spencer stated that they were aiming to create the “Netflix of Video Games“. At first, Game Pass felt more like something that would cycle through older titles, however, in recent months, Microsoft has added more features to bolster this already ambitious service. Game Pass was a prevalent feature at E3 for Microsoft, and they made the best value in gaming even stronger with new announcements.

Cosy city builder Before We Leave is now available on Xbox to purchase and also amazingly via Xbox Game Pass.
Debatable. Game Pass is a great value. There is no doubt. But I don't think I would give up Humble Bundle Monthly for Game Pass. Origin Access may also be giving Game Pass a run later this year. Glad to see lots of competition.
Services is the best value instead of receiving the most games?
I still see ownership of sales titles as the best value. It's cheap, you buy exactly what you like, you keep it.
I think Game Pass is a great alternative, but it depends on what you value as far as 'best value'. I do value ownership, others may not.
I think game pass is a good value for the consumer if your getting quality day 1 games. If the games are games you didn't care about and don't like after trying and this happens often....well that's not his value. If the great games aren't coming day one but a couple months down the road, for me and how i game, its not a great value for me as I would already own the game.
