That's what Microsoft wanted. Me and a friend bought a month of game pass to play through Oblivion and Doom Dark Ages then unsubscribed. I doubt they're going to keep doing day 1 releases in the long run because this might be hurting their game studios.
You subscribing to Game Pass is exactly what they want and why they keep so many studios.
Dunno. A 10€ all you can eat vs 70€ single payment sounds pretty logical ro me
Well Microsoft’s marketing isn’t stupid.
Sorry but what you mean with day 1 releases?
Typically subscription plans dont give you access to titles on day 1 of release. You have a choice of buying it or waiting.
Gamepass gives access to many titles day 1.
They made it tiered last year - some titles like CoD are on GamePass Ultimate only.
They released on game pass the same day the game launched everywhere else.
