If the day ever came that a game would hit the service that I was actually interested in - like, say, Starfield - I would simply sign back up, get my fair share for a month or two, then cancel and move on.īut recently, I was feeling a real Jones to finally check out Atomic Heart, a game that was high on my anticipated list but fell further down the rungs the closer it got to releasing. 2 was pushed back, and with few other first-party day-one releases on the immediate horizon to even justify keeping it, I decided to cancel. The well was dry, and I wasn’t all that thirsty to begin with.Īnd so, like I’m sure a decent percentage of Game Pass subscribers, I found myself a few months later realizing I was still paying $15 a month and not utilizing the service at all. That was partially because I migrated back to my PS5, which is my default ecosystem, and partially because there were only so many new games I was interested in trying on the service. It was a fun time that really did feel like the best deal in gaming.īut then I just sort of fell off.
In the beginning, I was actively engaging in the rewards program that gives out some sort of nebulous points for doing things like trying a certain number of new games in a week or garnering certain in-game achievements to pump up whatever the hell the rewards are for.
It was also because of this subscription that I tried Forza for the first time, as well as playing Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, and The Ascent. And it was through this subscription that I discovered a handful of cool little titles like Backbone, Carrion, and Neon Abyss. So also getting a Game Pass subscription felt like a no-brainer. I signed up after picking up an Xbox Series S on a whim during the early days of the global shutdown.
I used to have a Game Pass Ultimate subscription a couple of years back.
