ALL FIRST PARTY X-BOX GAMES STAY ON GAMEPASS FOREVER
Same with the other subscriptions too, like Ubisoft and EA. The only games I actually buy anymore are the ones I can find on steam sales that are third-party on the services, and there is odds I want to guarantee access to it forever.
wdym by party games? any help
"First party" means a game made by the company itself. Like how Microsoft makes Halo, Forza, etc.
Wich arent worth to play more then once
@@danielstokker I am not so sure about that, I bought a loot of those games (when I didn't had game pass) and played them for a lot of hours
Same. I'm sick of everything being subscription so I didn't want game pass just out of principle. I just got it a couple months ago cause that's the only cards the store had at the time. It's freaking awesome, and I don't want to ever go back. Lol
I agree having subscription everywhere can be annoying(you can thank movies/shows for that) but don't forget you will always have the ability to buy them. As long as that is there and subs are optional I don't mind it as much.
@@chinesecovidanalswabs4752 Theres always another option, queue "Pirates of the Caribbean music"
I'm getting it for 0.67$ now is definitely worth it
@@Satzy What!! HOW!?!?
@@zach.335i a limited offer
The concept of buying a game for $60 seems silly now
$70 for the new consoles..
@@TheCivildecay $89 + taxes (so $102) if you live in Canada =')
Here’s my thing. I haven’t payed full price for a new game in 5 years. I’ve always waited for a sale. I spent 15 bucks on ni no kuni 2 and played it for 2 months. If I had gotten it on game pass it would have cost me 30 bucks. People seem to really not understand how subscription costs stack. Let’s take Skyrim for example. I spent 60 dollars on it 6 years ago. I still sometimes play it to this day. So every time I want to boot up a game I’ve payed for and played years ago will now run me 15 bucks
@@millardbaldwin7650 if you are someone that plays a single game for months , gamepass wont benefit you.
But if you are like me that shares his xbox with my kids and like to try out multiple games, the gamepass saves me tons of money
@@millardbaldwin7650 i see the game pass more as a demo disc from back in the old days. If i really like something on it i buy it later on steam if i want to play it again.
I've had Gamepass Ultimate since they allowed to convert Xbox Gold. Think my average cost for 15 months was $2.75 a month. I'll finally begin paying the full price come February but it'll still be worth it. My only downside with it is the abundance of choice can lead to a bit of gaming ADD. It's so easy to jump from game to game that you have a bunch of games you started but not many completed.
@Console Gaming lol true. I try to focus on no more than 3 games at a time now. I have Control Ultimate Edition on PC. Another one I need to finish up but that game freaks me out for some reason.
So if u buy ultimate u don't need gold to play multi-player
@@ken_ken2k ultimate comes with gold
Good point
This is why I only focus one game at a time so it actually feels like a unique experience and I can finish it fully before I delete it and replace with another
Then EA Play joined Game Pass and made the value of it a lot more better
And then they delayed it longer for PC
I'd rather get EA Play at Origin myself. For the same $5 a month you pay through XBox, you get access to a ton of third-party games on the origin store that you don't get when you get Gamepass through XBox or Steam.
@@landonp629 There's no $5 charge on GamePass though. It's included.
@@andothersuchnonsense2685 It depends on the their you sign-up for on Gamepass. The $10 per month tier does not include eaPlay. The $15 tier does.
I'd rather pay $10 for Gamepass and $5 for eaplay seperate for a total of $15 a month, than pay $15 a month for Gamepass with eaplay - since you get less games that way.
@@andothersuchnonsense2685 There is very little the $15 tier offers on Gamepass that the $10 tier does. THAT is why I choose to get them separately, as eaplay on origin has about 40 more games from third parties to choose from.
I love gamepass for pc. Halo infinite got me into it, and I’m trying out other AAA games I wanted to try but didn’t think were worth buying in full. They have a lot of options for pc and I love they are connecting Xbox and pc.
But can the Xbox game pass allow mods, like especially Skyrim Special Edition? Or the Final Fantasy games?
What are the packages of gamepass cost?.
@@frodebrynjar3361 nope

@@ezioboiz-ieatchildren- you can mod in Skyrim and fallout 4 on Xbox
Game pass is the best deal in gaming 👏 All 1st party games included day 1. Have tried a bunch of games i wouldn't have tried.
One of the only tech guys that I always watch the whole video...laid back, not warped by years of using the high end gear to the point where low/mid gear is an affront
only in my first month with a cost of 1 euro i got and finished both ori games(masterpieces) ,outer worlds ,plague tale and forza horizon 4(still playing it).i will continue using it as i see alot of games on my wishlist are there and im actually convinced to buy a series x.
It's such an insane value, and they keep adding more games and EA access is coming in just a couple of weeks. Thanks for the reminder to play the second Ori game by the way- I played the first one a while back and definitely agree it is a masterpiece.
@@danielowentechalso try hollow knight.its one of the best games in the genre
I keep hearing from that. I'll definitely try it out, but currently playing Frostpunk.
@Anomalous If you like metroidvanias definetely, they sit on the top of the genre.The controls are so smooth and accurate.
Hey wanted to ask that is it important to buy xbox for buying PC game pass ??
Last year there was a game that I was really wanting to try out, but I didn’t want to pay the full retail price for the game. The game was called kingdom come; deliverance. Anyway, I signed up for the one dollar trial for Game Pass, and imagine my delight when I saw that game on there. After a month of playing, I dished out the full price of the game and of the DLC’s, and I’m still playing that game. I absolutely love game pass, and it makes me excited about the future of gaming
I thought the same until I got an Xbox controller that had a two weeks free Game Pass. That was like two days ago, I love it!
Own ultimate gamepass till 2023, think of gamepass as a blockbuster video game rental. For 10$/15$ a month you get unlimited downloads to hundreds of games. Now with the new companies they acquired the titles will only go up, and EA? That’s almost every sport game. All they are missing is Call of Duty.
If you have a phone, you have Call of Duty.

True! Game pass is a great value for money.
Because I have an xbox I usually let my script go dead then buy gold first then game pass ultimate 75 dollars for almost a year of game pass ultimate
Everything is base on the dollar on the price of the game which mean it even worst to compare the price in Asia which is 4 time expensive than us dollar !!
Yeah just not for the people making the games , game pass is going to ruin gaming
@@danielstokker why tho? when you say something put there reasons at least 1
Ps please take notes
good vid, i just found out about this so I searched it up and you convinced me hahah
For those of us who have XGP Ultimate, we pay 180$ 0er year which equals 3 fullprice games. Consoles usually don't sell on average 3 games per console per year; they sell a lot less. This subscription service likely generates value over time that will far exceed that old model of selling individual games. It's no different than movie streaming services and it's likely the new model for consumers going forward.
I pay 46 for a year at a time
Awesome video man! Super informative and well explained.
Thanks for a straight forward explanation of the Xbox Game Pass for PC service. When you put it the way you did, it really is a no brainer.
Thanks Daniel ... your time and effort is truly appreciated. Cheers
Completely agree I'm playing dirt 5 and ace combat 7 both games are really cool and I would had never played them without game pass. This really brings value to xbox and pc owner's.
Watching this video now and game pass PC has exponentially add way more awesome games from the moment you recorded this video. Honestly same games are meh but it does have plenty of good triple A titles, definitely worth it as I discovered and finished some really fine games like Yakuza 0 1 2 6, psychonauts 2, Ori, forza horizon, flight simulator and still more games to test. Good point and great video
But if you already have Xbox game pass and you want pc game pass is it 2 separate subs or nah?
@@alexvelasquez2891 yes and no.
There are 3 versions of game pass. Xbox Game pass which give you gamepass on Xbox only, PC game pass which gives you gamepass on PC only and GamePass Ultimate which gives you both as well as Xbox Live gold.
@@domp2729 ohhhh lol okay thanks bro much appreciated
A gamer and has a beautiful Les Paul just chilling there? definitely the kind of math teacher that i have ever wanted
I absolutely love game pass for my Xbox series x and for my PC. They have some major AAA games. Xbox game pass is basically dominating right now and they are getting some high-end studios on board. They even getting some PlayStation exclusives. Microsoft did this and they did it right. This was definitely one of their best decisions and it is paying off for them. EA is a part of game pass now. So now you can expect huge EA titles to be on game pass as a part of your subscription. Such as the battlefield series
Thank you for mentioning the battlefield part of this, I'm enjoying my game pass but before your comment I could take it or leave it. Now knowing battlefield is a part of game pass I will forever hold my subscription as long as that's true.
I love Math/Arithmetic teachers. Always ready to teach, anywhere, anytime.
Great content sir !
Thanks!
Love your channel. I hope it will grow :-)
Spot on about the excellent value of Game Pass! Thanks I’ve subscribed! You talk sense and to the point!
With game pass I'm inclined to try lots of different games and see if anything sticks. If it does I usually look for a Steam sale and add it to the library if its something I'll keep playing. Games that are 'one and done' work too since they can be finished on game pass and you never have to shell out 60 bucks for a AAA game that you never play again. The try before you buy aspect is what I like the most.
why not just play it on game pass?
this is the only reason why I would be interested in PC PASS
If you are buying ultimate game pass I recommend buying 3 years of gold first . After you add that to your account and then sign up for ultimate, it will convert the 3 years of gold into ultimate. Saving you $360 total. I did it yesterday and I’m glad I did!
Edit: forgot to say will only convert it if it’s your first time signing up for ultimate.
Will it work for me if I bought the trial for the 1 dollar?
I've had Ultimate since the Series X launched. At first, I felt like "Ok, new console, nothing new at launch, a bunch of old games on GamePass..." but then better stuff showed up, and they've been acquiring studios at an aggressive pace. To echo one of your points, I spent way too much time playing Halo Infinite, and that alone would have been $60. Still, after being a console gamer since the Atari 2600, I'm done with the console ecosystems in general. I just went all PC even though I have to lose my Microsoft Store games. I'll switch to the cheaper PC Game Pass once my Ultimate expires. As you said, it keeps getting better.
do games leave the game pass catalogue or do they stay? especially some of the big titles.
@@demtingz2692 I haven’t looked in a few months, but they were often announcing what was coming soon or leaving soon. I was playing Halo Infinite heavily and that has been on for a long time. I’m not sure about other big titles.
@@SixOfZero thanks bro, appreciate it
@@demtingz2692 they definetely come and go but its not like theyre only on there for a month or two. its usually at least a few months but usually they stay for a while. I love my PC/Xbox game pass ultimate. i use it all the time on my series X, xbox one s, AND on the PC with the Xbox Program. works great, similar setup to steam really.
I think the best thing about gamepass is if you and a friend have it you now have a large library of the same games and they're the most likely games to have crossplay. I could be doing some whole other shit on my pc and on a whim hit the xbox button and catch one of my friends online.
Thats a great point!
And if you both have the gamepass you don't need to ask your friends to buy some particular game.
Like I wanted to play deep rock galactic with a friend but if he was on xbox and not on ps he wouldn't have to buy it.
I just signed up for the $1 first month deal, and Flight Sim actually plays decent on my potato PC.
whats your pc setup if i may ask

Gotta aplad that audio sir. 👏 😆 I was listening 🎶 with some beats very clear.
Remember that there is a work around to convert gold to gamepass ultimate. I believe you can still get it to be at a 1:1 ratio.
Not anymore. 24 months of live now only give you 8 months of game pass. 12 months of gold only give you 4 months of gamepass and so forth.
@@juanalvarado7794 that is if you already have Ultimate. In the FAQs on this page it still shows a 1:1 conversion (for NA)

Is Game Pass "Streaming" or are you using your own hardware to run the game? do you download it ?
I may do some follow up content about game pass, but I want to get the Big Navi videos out while the info is fresh. You are using your own hardware to run the game. So it is basically like subscribing to a library of games that can rotate in and out over time. Games in the library are basically just like they would be on Steam or similar services. You download and install it if you want to play it. The difference is that you don't own the game, so if you stop subscribing or the game rotates off the list, you will lose access (although you can buy the games at a discounted rate to keep them permanently). Microsoft does bundle in their cloud streaming beta if you sign up for the "ultimate" version, but at least for now the streaming service does not exist on PC. It works on Android phones (and I think it works on Xbox as well, but I don't currently own one to verify that.
@@danielowentech yes it's on Xbox. That's what I have it on. Still saving and waiting til around February to build an all AMD rig so don't bash me to hard. Lol
U download it and play on your hardware. Xcloud is when you stream games to any device U can get it on. Afaik the 15$ version of gamepass comes with access to xcloud
Both. The gamepass for pc subscription only offers downloads, but the gamepass ultimate subscription has streaming as well. It does only support android phones right now, but ios and windows support is coming.
Its not streaming, you download the game and play it on your pc/xbox like you would with steam (or any digital marketplace) only caveat is that when they game gets removed from gamepass (only happens with 3th party titles) you have to buy it if you want to continue playing. But this usely comes with a pretty decent discount.
On the other hand Xcloud comes for free with gamepass and let's you stream your games directly to any android (and ios and pc soon).
Woah video quality was top notch I can see ur contact lenses :D
I signed up while it was in beta ($5/pm) and at the time I calculated in 2019 that I could pay for 12 years worth of Gamepass before I would have spent the money on all the games I would want to play (mostly AAA titles), and now that they keep adding its just so much better.
My biggest complaint is trying to install through the Ms store, but I should try the xbox store instead.
Just joined. Absolutely great. The ONLY downside I'd say is the lack of third party controller support (like Steam has), meaning you basically can only use certified Microsoft controllers that work with your PC.
any controller with x-input should work. i have been using cheap Chinese wireless controllers (zhidong brand) for 2--3 years now and works on all game pass (including xcloud). PC reads them as xbox 360 controllers.
Thanks for that I never knew.
@@blackcaesar8387 I tried that but it wouldn't work, specifically with Overcooked 2. Only picked up my official PS4 controller, but not my Hori mini wired PS4 controller. Maybe I did something wrong. In any case Steam is MUCH better when it comes to the support for controllers.
@@MrCageCat I am not familiar with the HORI controller? Does windows recognize it as x-input? You'd know because it would register as an Xbox 360 controller. yeah, steam has deeper controller support. Even detects direct input only controllers.
@@blackcaesar8387 What exactly IS x-input? Sorry for sounding dumb.

game pass blows my mind. you get, Doom Eternal, Alien Isolation, RE7 Biohazard, Dishonored 2, Dead by Daylight, couple of Final Fantasy games, Forza Horizon 4, Fallout 76, dozen of Halo series games, Machinarium, Minecraft Dungeons, Wolfenstien Young blood, and the most mind blowing games you can get with this cheap game pass are( I still don't believe) Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Medium, CONTROL, Man of Medan (!!!), and many more for just not even half the price of a single game on other stores
Hey wanted to ask that is it important to buy xbox for buying PC game pass ??
they are giving out 3 months of game pass ultimate for $1 rn!
do you have to use a controller? or can you still use Keyboard and Mouse on Game pass games when playing through PC?
Thinking about xbox game pass for pc but my question since you download the games do you need the best PC to play them or PC like mine with minimal graphics?
You can get 3 years for a dollar. Just preload your account with xbox live. The max is 3 years. When you pay the dollar it converts it to game pass.
@Sporke when you first sign up for game pass ultimate you only have to pay a dollar for the first month. However they have a conversion ratio for Xbox live gold it 1:1. So Xbox game pass ultimate comes with Xbox live, game pass for PC and console, xcloud and ea play. So let's do some math, game pass ultimate is $15 a month. $15 * 12 = $180 a year. If you have Xbox live you can convert the remaining Xbox live into game pass ultimate months. So let's say you had seven months of Xbox live left and then you convert it to game pass ultimate so you have seven months left plus they give you an extra month for free so you now have 8 months of game pass ultimate. So if you buy three 12-month Xbox live then you can get 36 months of game pass ultimate for the same price as one year of game pass ultimate.
I was just gunna mention this. (link below). its what sold me on buying an xbox one X in 2020 lol last game console I owned was the orig xbox. They also added EA games if interested. The Ultimate game pass works for both console and PC. I bought Costco xbox live 2 and 1 yr cards with $1 promo cost me a total of $160.04 not bad for 3 years of game library and live. Just make sure you invest in a 5TB or larger external HDD and upgrade your internet band width. You're gunna need it! lol

@@hyperdragonv2400 so, can you use the same external for the xbox pc games and steam or epic games? or does it require different formatting??
@@sianthorw5537 I would imagine you have to format it like most of the time
You need to ask yourself how many you can finish in 1 month. Especially your working so how many hours you play a day
I don't see it simply about finishing the games though. I can try a bunch of games I never would have otherwise touched due to the price tag. Even then, if I finish one game every two or three months it would still be like paying $20 to $30 for the game which is a decent deal even if I had been able to find games on sale somewhere else.
im confused to and i wanna try it
question : is this like steam that i will download the game? or is it cloud base?
You must download a game to play it. Xbox Game Pass for PC is not a cloud-based service like Playstation Now.
Nice info.
But can i unsubscribe at end of the month ? or there is any terms and conditions of subscription.
You can unsubscribe any time, but will of course lose access to the li rary of games that you didn't outright purchase.
The thing is - Game Pass is filled with shovelware - and not every game you want is going to be on Game Pass. So while you spend $120 a year - you may only like 3 or 4 out of the current titles and may not like any more for a while. Thus, you pay $240-$360 over 3 years, not really having the AAA titles you actually desire and only maybe liking 3-4 in those years. Thus - your budget over 3 years is blown and the AAA titles that come out for those 3 years (which is more likely) is gone by your wayside. Not to mention that the price per month will inevitably increase just like Netflix. And ever wonder how you pay for Netflix every month yet you spend more time scrolling and searching for something to watch rather than watching? It's a big placebo effect tricking you into thinking you're getting a good deal, but in actuality, you're not. You're being fed old games to distract you from demanding (and financing) good titles that are actually worthwhile.
But you don't need a whole year to finish three games you found interesting you could just purchase a 3 months subscription and that will make it. And whenever you find any game interesting you just purchase a month sub. atleats that's what I do
this sounds better than the Humble Bundle Subscription
It really is. Especially because it includes ea play for free. It’s probably the best subscription service currently available, for basically any medium.
@@IAmAnEvilTaco EA play is only included with the $15/month Gamepass. Frankly, you'd be better off paying $10 a month for Gamepass basic and spending $5 a month over at origin for EA Play - as you get access to additional third-party games on origin that you don't get when you get EA Play through xBox or Steam.
this is really an excellent video
Thanks!
Are all the games Xbox controller supported? I use an official Xbox One controller and am really curious about if any games are not controller supported. I have Gamepass for XO and want to put my subscription on Gamepass for windows
I tried Xbox gamepass for pc and I love it, I've tried so many great games I wouldnt have otherwise and I actually liked a bunch of them quite a lot.

Is this a video game streaming service or do the games use the hardware of your pc to run?
They use the hardware of your pc to run. But if you get the Ultimate version it also has streaming to Android phones.
Well I’m a bit more old school, usually I dont buy games on day one only on very rare occaisons - Witcher 3 being the example (usually that are as well game I upgrade my system for :D ) , if you buy your games later especially on PC you get them for a fraction of the price. As well and that is the old school part I like to own the games, thouse I choose to buy because on great games I replay and go back to them Mass Effect being another example. Next game I get at launch will be Cyberpunk, but other than I dont buy release date games. But I get your demo point.
Holy snap. I always thought Xbox Game Pass was only for, ya know, Xbox. But looking at their PC library, there's so many great triple-A games on there that I've always wanted to play, but couldn't quite justify spending $60 on each with how tight my budget is. But ALL of those for just $10 a month (plus basically a free trial with that $1 first month)? Sign me up!
yea and thats their primary income so all their new games are on gamepass instantly
Subbed for the math, liked for the content!
Is siege and other non-Microsoft games cross platform on game pass for pc? Can you buy games as well
GOT 3 MONTHS FOR 1 DOLLAR
I got Xbox game pass for PC when it first came out and I’m not kidding I got it for a dollar a month for like almost a year. It’s one of the best deals going for gamers. And this is the scary part everything that Activision blizzard has is coming to this service.
Wait does this still work or? If so how?
The "Activate mods" button is greyed out for me. I can't click on it. Do you have a tip on how I can activate the mods anyway? Otherwise I'm going crazy, the problem seems to exist only with me, because it's not mentioned anywhere else.
I agree game pass is a steal!!! Yo!!!! what year is that Les Paul back there? And do you play that thing?
I understand the value of game pass as a demo service or even as a library for most of your games, I can't deny this. But I am still old school when it comes to games. Firstly, I like to own my games. I have most of my games on an optical disc on a bookself and I sometimes like to grab a game from 20 years ago and reminisce in the past. Secondly, with game pass you are entirly dependant on the whims of Microsoft. If for some reason you are no longer ok with their terms of service, or even if the service will be cancled in the future, you will loose acces to your entire game library. Thirdly, Microsoft, like many other tech giants, are giant data hogs and their is little to no legal framework to reign in their hunger for your personal data, so I do my best to give them as little as possible (ex. by not signing up to their subscriptions). And lastly, these subscriptions, Microsoft game pass included, are designed to make you increasingly dependant on one single company by designing their ecosystem around services and products only provided by said companies. As a consumer who wants to stay indepenant, I will take a hard pass.
My gaming habits may be a little more expensive, but I'm ok with it.
I totally understand this take on it. Everyone has their own preferences.
We were the same @stefan. but when i tried Game Pass, my life changed! Just try 1 month for $1. Maybe your old school thing will change too :)
Lose access to your library? Nobody thinks of it as their own library though? People with gpass still purchase games so your comment is dumb.
If you get game pass ultimate, you can play console games through an Android device, through cloud gaming. Later, you can downgrade to game pass for PC. Game pass is a good value and it's worth trying out.
Yeah, I just published a review of the Android cloud streaming on Sunday. My basic takeaway was that (at least with the latency from my location) it is only good for slow paced or turn based games. But still a cool feature.
Can you use ps4 controller on that if you have pc?
@@blueking5739 im not quite sure what you are asking. The cloud streaming is on Android, not PC. But it can use any controller that works on your Android phone as far as I know. And the PC games can obviously use any controller that works on your pc.
@@danielowentech oh I see. Just asking if for the Xbox game pass I can use ps4 controller through my gaming laptop.
@@blueking5739 yes. Any controller that works with your pc is fine.
The way I look at it is gamepass replaces videogame rentals for consoles (or introduces them for PC).
an important thing i dont thionk u said, when u play a game on pass, if u buy it, u continue with the progress, even if theres an year in betwen
Its ok game pass is just freaking AWESOME! I mean were getting the best 3 classic lucasgames later this week. :)
Despite all discussion I believe game pass still underrated. This is a revolution, Sony won in the past, but MS slowly build momentum with strategy. MS simply lowered the entry barrier: even with all the mobile devices these days, anyone that do proper work ALREADY has some laptop or pc (on the other hand few adult homes have consoles), to have some fun like console style just buy an xbox controller for a few bucks, signup for game pass and done. The cards for the future were already put on the table, just look the big studios MS acquired. I don't mind it being just a rent, because it is actually a pretty fun rent, and you still has the option to buy the game to pin on your collection and skip the rotation.
Is there a difference in value between the PC/laptop version of Game Pass and the console? Weighting the pros and cons of both.
And by difference I mean what kind of games you can access.
There is a different library of games. Personal preference I guess on which library you prefer, though there is much overlap.
your content is awesome
