Good offers but you can get game pass ultimate instead. Day one access to FH5 and halo. EA play is also included, meaning BF 2042 will be added down the road. Access to other games is also a plus.

What's a good 12 months price for Game pass ultimate these days? I don't see myself playing these games for more than 6-12 months so that's not a bad idea....for Win10. thx

Which brings me to why ppl would even bother buying "premium" games. I mean do they see themselves playing for 3yrs of the same game??

IMHO, there is no reason to pay full price for MOST games… (a lot of new games are trash or not complete when they release, or just don't offer full price worth of game.) Wait them out for $20 or less. Sports games you should wait until $10 or less… Literally no improvements in years.

Halo and Forza? Judging by track record, they are well worth it for full price. GamePass is awesome! You can buy games to "support" the developer, but I believe that they're getting paid from GamePass also.

I guess you have to buy online shooters at full price so that you can play when lots of people are playing… If you wait, everyone has moved on to the next one…

Not a great deal. Standard version of Battlefield is $69.00 for Xbox, add promo and you are still paying $59.00.

A 15% discount on a new release is more than most games get.

Yeah I got my money's worth out of Forza Horizon 4 with the premium package last time. Would be more excited if I could get a Series X to play FH5 on, but will probably buy the premium package again even though I have Gamepass.

I paid around $4 a month for GPU last year but recently it was going for as low under $3 a month. Prices are for the max 36 months.

Renting vs. Buying isn't apples to apples.

This is a slick deal for those that prefer to buy their games. GamePass also doesn't include any add-ons for Forza Horizon and the Forza games "expire" in GP due to licensing.

Cross-Gen or Ultimate Edition for COD: Vanguard? I'm just coming back to this series after a long hiatus so I don't know what the Battle Pass is.

Never forget the lesson of Cyberpunk 2077. Don't pre-order.

That is the truth right there. Never, ever pre order. The more people do it, the more publishers get away with potentially sub par products.

Anyone got a good deal for Game Pass Ultimate? No reason to get these now when they'll be on GPU Day 1

Yeah it varies person to person, for me the best thing would be to just play it through game pass and get the ultimate edition when it goes for 40-50$ in holidays
