0:00 : Xbox Game Pass + EA Play
2:01 : Ubisoft+
3:10 : Nintendo Switch Online

5:27 : Google Stadia
6:05 : Conclusion
In this video I take a look at Video Game Subscriptions Services, specifically at Xbox Game Pass, EA Play, EA Play Pro, Ubisoft+, PlaystationNow, Nintendo Switch Online, and Google Stadia. Some of these subscription services allow me to play my favorite games on both console and pc, like Among Us, Minecraft, and Grand Theft Auto V. Others, like Nintendo Switch Online, let me play Super Smash Brothers: Ultimate online, and Super Mario Maker 2, and Super Mario Odyssey, and Breath of the Wild. Also btw I don't actually believe Google Stadia is insanely bad but I just think cloud gaming needs like another 5-10 years before it becomes viable ok goodnight - Ігри

Remember when Google, when asked about how most Internet Service Providers won't be able to handle Stadia, said that Internet Service Providers would just adjust to Google's streaming service? As if Stadia is so important of a service that Verizon would be like "oh SHIT! We got to start making our minimum internet subscription 10gbs now!"
I mean Verizon does offer a gigabit plan, I’ve been on it for 3 years now. The lowest plan you can get in my area is 400 mbps. So cloud gaming is definitely doable for everyone in my county. I also use stadia once in a while to play Cyberpunk/elder scrolls/ and red dead 2. Otherwise I’m playing StarCraft on my pc ✌🏾
That's a scamming advertidding for ya. That is pretty much mean their stuff is crap so they have to lie
You don't even need fast internet for Stadia. It ran on my 50Mbps (7 MB/s) connection just fine
@@SnrubSource Or better yet. You get even better experience with the 50 mbps when you play online game on actual system plus higher playerbase otherwised you got scammed by google
@@laos85 but you need the actual hardware then. Stadia isn't bad because of its tech or its concept. Going to a website, paying for a game and being able to play it is great, it's like having a console but without needing to have the hardware. What makes Stadia suck is its absolutely dogshit library of games (90% indie games, 10% stuff people actually want to play). Google had a great concept and executed it horribly as is tradition.
I just don't want these services to become the norm to a point where no one owns games anymore
The way gamepass works is perfect. You can play the games through gamepass, but if you want to keep the game, you can just buy it at a reduced price. This is how it should be, and considering how the service works, it encourages devs to bump up the quality of their games
@@user-mx1fq6qm6i Maybe so, but there is no way that game pass can keep up it's current price for an extended period of time. Sooner or later, they're gonna have to raise the price of the subscription and, hence, lose out on a bunch of subscribers.
@@poopenfarten9497 or they can make more tiers. They did it once with ultimate, and there's nothing preventing them from making another tier
@@poopenfarten9497 its microsoft i dont think they care if they lose money on gamepass for a while
@@poopenfarten9497 It's Microsoft. Do you think they're dumb enough to spend so much on something that loses money? They have confirmed time and time again that gamepass is profitable RIGHT NOW. They aren't sinking money into it. Yet people keep saying it's not possible. You know people with yearly salaries that are higher than how much we make in a decade make the financial decisions there right?

That 42 Mbps Average is Megabits which = 5 Megabytes not 42, 42 Megabytes a Second would be an Amazing Average.

I'm so jealous of my mom, she lives in a fancy condo tower in a major downtown, and gets free consistently 1gbps + internet. I've tested it, it completely saturates gigabit Ethernet, and the latency is non existent, hell, I'm pretty sure you can even still port forward on it.

I can’t remember when my friend first recommended Xbox Gamepass to me but I am forever thankful. I wouldn’t have tried out games that are now some of my favourite had I not bought Gamepass. I used to just play FIFA and occasionally cod. Now I’m fully completing Psychonauts 2 and trying out a ton of other awesome story based games

I’m not going to lie ive seen so many people talk about the Nintendo switch online service being trash because of how bad the lag and such is, for me I have never experienced an issue with the lag and crappiness which I find incredible
Depends heavily on the game. Super Mario Maker 2 is not playable most of the time.
It's not god awful but there's is a large room for improvement
If its a competitive game like smash it deems the result of the match meaningless because of the lack of consistency and quality of the network. The players weren't playing the game at it's most consistent form. That's why local tournaments are so important for this game. The way the service is and the switch works i don't think even rollback can save this game
i play splatoon and smash never had lag
@@moistisverydead9191 Lag for Splatoon is not that bad, but it is definitely VERY bad for fighting games. The slightest spike of a sudden lag spike can ruin your combo/match overall, and the worst is that lag isn't one sided. It's even worst if you are using WiFi instead of a wired connection because the connection will spike up and down constantly and so will the lag in the match.
Unless you only play against people using lan cables (Wich is probably a tiny minority cos not only you need to buy a specific adapter for lan cables, a few percentage of people know that wired connections are better than wireless) or have really powerful wifi connections, it's pretty impossible to play smash without lag because even if it works fine for you, it might be different for the person on the other and so to balance this the match will receive lag (and it will increase even more if there is need for it)
This channel needs more subs, all of your videos are edited so well and I can’t stop watching them. Thanks WildFartanz for introducing me to the channel
The real problem with game subscription services is they're 100% going to turn into the same shitshow video services are where every publisher wants their own thing. They're already doing it with launchers everyone hates. I'm not paying for 15 video streaming subscriptions and I'm not paying for 15 game subscriptions. And when these companies all decide to do their own services they're going to pull stuff from Gamepass so it's not going to be the best place for it anymore.
tru but rn gamepass is still in the sweet spot
Then don’t pay for them all? The games themselves are still sold as is, what’s the problem?
@@Scatmanseth Unless I'm mistaken, the movies and shows on those streaming platforms are only available on those streaming platforms. And none of them actually let you buy the digital media either. They don't let you download them, and the few that do (Or did since most shuttered and you lost your "purchases") require internet DRM.
And "Don't pay for them all" is a dumb argument when you could not pay for anything and not have this problem in the first place.
The description is indeed correct, the sonic colors OST is banging.

What about the remaining 98 Tetris games?
@@PurooRoy they can suck an egg!!!
They trap you, that’s the worst part. If you really like playing a couple games you have to keep paying. Plus, there’s something magical about having a stacked steam library
If you use the word "magical" to describe your Steam library, you seriously need to get out of the house more.
@@Christopher-md7tf dayum
Is this any less a trap than Steam sales, though? How many games in your Steam library have you put more than 5-8 hours into? What’s the point in spending so much on games if you don’t even play them?
Heck, if you wanna be legalistic about it you don’t even own the games in your Steam library.
Don't hate on Petz Horses 2
I don't want cloud gaming, in general. Ever. To become the norm. Yes its a nice thing with gamepass and what not to just be able to 'test out' games but in the end I would rather at the very least have access to a game if I can log into my steam, and launch it from my library. That's it. I don't need to pay 15 dollars a month or have games get taken *off* the gamepass/subscription service and as such in the end having to buy the game through Steam ANYWAYS. It has always been a fear of mine for gaming to come to that point where your ability to play a game relies on whenever Microsoft or EA, or Ubisoft, or whatever says you can play it. At least with Steam, you can play offline without an internet connection. Something I do all the time when it comes to trips on the road with friends or family. Things like Gamepass only complicate that lifestyle which, for the average person who may move around a lot or not be tied to an internet connection like its an IV tube, makes the medium as a whole just that much more fucking headache inducing.
I really don't understand this perspective. Like yes, big corporations are evil but there is 0 chance they would revoke an already owned game. If you paid for the game, you legally own it, them not allowing you to use your already purchased product is illegal, and more importantly it's probably the worst thing they can do for business. The day a game company crosses that line, they stop being relevant. Microsoft or EA would never do that because it's the same as career suicide for the company. There's literally nothing to be scared of. They can and do take games off of gamepass because of license revocation etc. etc. but that's neither anything malicious nor anything that could gaming would help/hurt. Even if you download the game, it still needs to be validated by gamepass every seven days or you can't play it.
@@PaRappa_the_Rapper
Microsoft and EA already take the games off their services regularly. Why should I pay extra for them, and then lose all my progress when they take then away and I decide to buy the games through Steam anyways? Ill just buy the games from Steam in the first place, and have all my progress and games last basically forever.
@@-Burb I think you might be misunderstanding. Gamepass and digital games are two different things. Microsoft and EA will only ever take games off of *GAMEPASS*, they can't and won't take away games that you've personally bought. It's never happened before and, for the reasons I stated above, it's almost guaranteed to never happen period.
Gamepass is $15 a month for hundreds of AAA games, and while yes there is a small chance that your game gets taken off of gamepass, Xbox notifies you of that about a month or so before and offers you pretty hefty discounts on actually purchasing the game. Not to mention it won't erase your progress because save data is saved in a separate place than games are, so even if the game is removed the saved data still remains. If you're buying game pass for 1 single game then yeah, I'd probably recommend sticking to steam, but the main selling point of gamepass is how many games it has.
None of this has any relevance to cloud gaming though because as I said before: the risks are entirely the same regardless of whether or not you've downloaded your game or if you're playing it via the cloud
@@PaRappa_the_Rapper
Yeah but the prices for games you personally buy is typically much higher anyways than they are on Steam, even with the “game pass discount”(which you pay for anyways). Might as well just buy the games you want on Steam in the first place.
@@-Burb Sure, that's why I said if you're only buying game pass for 1 single game you're better off sticking with steam. But any more than 1 or maybe 2 games and gamepass becomes the better alternative. Considering gamepass has hundreds of games though I don't think it would be hard to find more than 1 or 2 games you'd want to play
I 100% agree with you the other services suck but game pass is absolutely a must-buy for any xbox/pc player for sure
Games are unlike any other form of media, the amount of hours you can put into a single well made game and be amazed at every run when finding a new lore/mechanic is amazing and it feels good to own and support such a well made media that you liked.
Subscriptions services sure give you access to huge library of games (to rent) that one wouldn't have otherwise purchased & experienced but it's just not for people like me.

The best subscription service is just buying games on sale through steam, its like a subscription service, Except you don't need to pay for online or to have access to your games!
I genuinely like stadia as an *idea*, the creative director is completely nuts though. The thing I genuinely like about it is that it makes modern gaming accessible to people who don't have or can't afford a modern gaming rig or console. That's why I started using it in the first place, I had a really crappy laptop until last summer so it was the only way for me to play games like Hitman within my budget. I personally haven't found too much difficulty with input lag or choppy performance, but I also almost exclusively play single player games, so take that as it is.
I just wish it allowed you to download the games too, since I now have a rig that can run this stuff but I don't want to re-purchase anything.
I'm afraid Stadia would never allow purchases for download access. The point of the monetization is you subscribe and can only access ot through them with an active subscription.
Anything that allows you to play online will probably be axed by investors as cutting their sweet, sweet continuing returns.
Accessible my butt. Then explain to me why very small group of people are using it while 90% of gamers play on actual device in their house?
Just a small point of view from someone that found himself unemployed unexpectedly. Subscription services were the first thing that got cut out to save money, no Spotify, no Netflix and certainly no Gamepass or anything like it. This made me realize something I never really thought of before, that after all the thousands of euros I must've payed over the years, I was left with absolutely nothing when I had to stop.
hope you get back on the grind and i am sorry to hear that
We are heading into a world where we rent everything and own nothing.
subscription services suck so much
@@deanefromredhawk3304 Thanks, I'm gonna look into studying. I've been thinking about becoming an electrician.
stryxo upload kinda epic
Streaming services are great and all, but I am still one to buy games (and movies) physically because no one can guarantee that those titles will still be there in 5 years. It is my property and I can make damn sure my kids can play the same game when they come about. Or, better yet, for game/movie preservation because none of these companies care about supporting games, just supporting their income.
PC games aren't really getting physical releases anymore
Lol I found this video almost immediately after the announcement of Stadia shutting down
"Google is probably going to Stadia in a year or 2"
How right you were
5:15 mega-BITS, not megabytes. 8 bits make a byte, ISPs refer to internet speed as megabits to make your connection seem faster. 42 mega bits is around 5 megabytes.
Oof
I wish it was mega bytes, but limits are limits
Uhhh, it's been a year
And Stadia is just fucking dead dead
I don't use game subscribtion services bc I don't Play variety of games. I buy a new games once in a while usually on sale. Then they mostly wait when I decide to Play them. I don't get the idea of paying for playing games montly. I Play some games regularly, other I finish and don't come back to. I like to take my time and when I get fed up with them I make a break even a couple of months. So completing a game takes really long and it would require multiple months subscribtion. I don't play on my PS4 very much, so it's sitting there waiting for summer. I have many games I haven't finished or started yet.
Epic games store gives me a lot of games every week so it's like a montly subscribtion that doesn't need payment. And I like it, but I hardly ever Play those games anyway
I got the dollar trial of game pass recently, and have already wishlisted several of the games I played on it while buying a few others on Steam.
Even if I didn't buy the games, I'd probably get game pass for its regular pricing if I could afford it - if they add more stuff every so often and let me download the game to my system and keep it there, then that's fine in my book.
Sure, I'd like to own it (hence me wishlisting them) - but it's nice to be able to basically do a "free trial" before buying. I've always loved game demos for that reason - and have even bought a few games because I loved their demos so much (hell, I've made 5 wikis for games after playing their demos)
Now of course I take issue when companies try to force this instead of porting games or whatever (*cough* nintendo *cough*), but as-is I think their idea is fine - I can pay to try out games, cancel it whenever, or keep it to play some games every so often.
i appreciate the meowsynth transitions
Less than a year later and geforce now gives me a more consistent experience than my (not exactly old) pc
Games as goods >>> Games as a service - Keep playing, NOT keep paying.
A Subscription economy is going to hit a bubble eventually because all these subscription costs will add up and in the end you will not own anything.
There's only one subscription service you should use and that is Xbox game pass. There's no reason to use anything else. You can also just buy the games at a reduced price if you find them worthy, and avoid wasting 60$ or more on a broken piece of shit like battlefield 2042
@@user-mx1fq6qm6i Don’t sell me subscription services dude.
Xbox game pass will increase its prices because Microsoft are not actually making money off it right now.
It’s a loss leader, but once they get a certain number on board then you will see tier level access and prices.
It will be no different from movie tv show streaming and subscriptions.

@@AdmiralBison here's something you can do: you can buy an Xbox gamepass subscription and test if the game is good or not so you won't get stuck with a trash game like battlefield 2042. Hating on a subscription service because "the prices might go up eventually" . Also, wouldn't it be a stupid idea to raise the price and thus price people out, causing you to lose out on potential money?
@@AdmiralBison its microsoft i dont think they care if they lose money on gamepass for a while
As someone who plays very limited games, any of these subscriptions are not worth it for me. I am extremely picky, I’d rather just buy the 1-2 games I like per year (sometimes multiple years).
May I also add that Nintendo Switch online access used to be free for the first year, or so, and online is STILL free for the 3DS and Wii U? They only bolted that pricetag onto NSO when they saw how successful the Switch was in that first year.
Bastards.
Get Quest 2. VR has awesome gameplay and you can play anywhere as long as there is nothing damaging your device. No subscription scam
I see the benefit in game pass but I fear it'll lead down a dark future. Buying discs or on GOG is simply superior because I actually own the product, not a license or borrowing one.
good informational video good length
Fun thing, I’ve been playing the sims 4 for upwards of 5 years. On my laptop, it suddenly stopped working, and I was very confused, just needed to delete origin and get ea play.
Suddenly, a pack that I’ve wanted for a while ($60 ish) was given to me for free, just bc the family member who no longer uses the account, had bought the subscription.
Meowsynth made this very funny
Man, does anyone remember Gametap? Felt like being trapped in an infinite arcade with unlimited tokens.
I like the concept of game subscription service, execution is hit or miss. I def don't like how games are pulled or how you can't see what's available until after you have the service. I do like how you don't need to have the beefiest hardware to get really good content. Honestly that is where they are going. If the life cycle is going to be 10 years on this gen consoles this may be the last OR there may be 1 last one where they sell 2 devices, one that is large/plays discs/very expensive and one that that is tiny/streaming only/SUPER cheap (thinking chromecast). After that it will all be streaming regardless of internet connection. They will either fine tune it where you don't need beefy speeds or maybe by that time home networks will improve (at least in the urban areas) and the rurals will get screwed which they won't care about because they want to get the most subscribers.
I used to be a happy Nintendo Switch Online customer for a couple of years, I had an 8ppl group of friends and we'd buy the $35 yearly family plan, and this amounted to less than 5 bucks a year making it a no brainer.
There's no way I'm paying 20 bucks for the experience I've had these past couple of years

Make up your mind!
Amazing, basically everything he said in the Stadia section was wrong. Didn't die a month after launch, doesn't need a subscription (that's Stadia Pro), uses launch footage from the Washington Post, who was playing through a VPN, in order to demonstrate how "laggy" Stadia is, and quotes a guy whos studio was bought out by Google and says they work directly for Stadia. Even the minimum requirements for 4k 60fps are 35MBPS which is less than the 42MBPS average US internet speed you use to say cloud gaming won't be ready for another 10-20 years... and that's at 4k! You need far less for 1080p or 720p if you're playing on a phone!

Out of all the videos ive seen about game streaming services ive never seen anyone mention nvidia geforce now which is surprising cuz it brings people games like fortnite to cyberpunk 2077
Please tell me the video of the cat murmuring during the intermissions
"ah it's just a little nintendo quirk" SO REAL
I do like the game pass but I'd be more comfortable to buy the games and not having to worry about it
How about luna (amazon's game streaming service) ?
Yo why r ya so harsh about chess game. It looks... descent. Devs need some coins to live if they aint dead already
My man predicted the future of stadia
xbox game pass ultimate also has cloud gaming whcih works pretty well with my german country internet, but i miss the ability to play with keybord on the cloud
i know i might sound old but... i like owning my games if i can like on actual dvds or cds ... i know i know but a company has to break down my door to get the games back.... yes i use steam but even in that case i can still download them and theres a clause in the contract that if steam ever goes down you can download them forever... also id like to mention if you said a bad word on playstation or xbox last time i checked you can get your account banned and you cant access any of your games... talk about stealing..
Yeah you have no idea how those PlayStation bans work huh?
Personally, idk if it's my connection good, Nintendo Online and Stadia never gave me problems, even if I'm away from the Wi-Fi
Watching this again after stadia was cancelled is really trippy. Accurate prediction tho.
Gamepass is great, everything else is shit in comparison. Game streaming overall is something that I just don't find appealing since it's a massive pain to have a perfect connection even for offline games. It's easier to just buy a game you want and know that's all you need to worry about. No subscription bs.
yeah game pass is amazing but any game I really want to play I'll just buy. Also buying lets you mod
Playstation Now isn't even available worldwide. Can't get it in Australia
I have honestly never had many problems with online and my internet sucks
The average internet speed was 42 megabits* per second, not 42 megabytes. 42 megabytes/s is a great internet speed.
HARD AGREE, ALL OF THEM, ALWAYS, FUNDAMENTALLY ON THE CORE CONCEPT.
GeForce Now is alright I’ve used it on really good internet and really bad internet and it works either way pretty well with little to no input lag you just gotta change the setting from balanced to data saver or competitive which I’m fine with since it only makes fights from long range distances harder and I don’t play many games with long rang fights anyway so I’d say if you don’t want to buy a computer consider GeForce Now but make sure the games you want to play on it are on it because there isn’t a lot but they do have almost everything you could ask for
