  1. None. Play offline. You shouldn’t pay to play online. You have console, game, internet. A paywall thats not worth buying. If you must buy then pick the middle. Months added up for price is the lesser of the other two evils.

  2. I just want them to make The Transformers Games available they are on the marketplace but unavailable to buy can’t they be moved to gamepass.
    Maybe even make The Simpson Games available soon.

  3. Game Pass Ultimate is the way to go. I just recently got good enough internet for Cloud Gaming and it was such a surreal and cool experience to smoothly play games like South of Midnight on an Amazon Firestick, bros!

  4. So if i understand this correctly? With the Core Pass you can play Multiplayer on any game you Own not just the games available in the Core Pass catalogue 🤔

  5. I use X box game pass ultimate because I like to have access to all the Xbox content and perks that are included with X Box.

  6. Thanks for explaining it for my old retired self 😂… I’m looking to get into gaming and do stuff that I should have done in my youth but didn’t never have time.. might as well go for the ultimate package😋👍

  7. Ultimate because I play on average PC and need cloud gaming. Although too bad that some games like Avowed and Atomfall can’t use mouse

  8. Bro I’ve been paying for ultimate for the last year for my father and brother in law and wife and only play a few games I didn’t know there was a core version switching em right away

  9. I’ve never had game pass before so I’m asking. When u choose a game to play do you have to download it or is it like Netflix and u stream it

  10. GamePass standard is Gamepass ultimate minis EA Play and Online Multiplayer access.

    All other games are available with Standard.

  11. Nome. The answer is none. I’m not on one side or the other when it comes to consoles, because no mouse and keyboard, so fk that. But I’ve owende a PS5, boughth the subscription and I’ve seen the libraries, and PS’s is beyond better. I just realized while typing that I can use gamepass on PC, but it’s still sht. Paying about 17 euros for what other than "Expedition 33" ?
    So immagine this: you buy gamepass, and you really REALLY love one of their games, 100% complete it, then they take it off the platform. That’s a deal breaker for me. I’m (re) playing Darksiders 2 right now. A 12 yo (10yo remastered) game. I have it on Steam. Because it’s Steam, Guaranteed if it were to be launched on gamepass it would not be available now.
    Wait… if Xbox is Microsoft, so basically a PC / console port, then why in the af do no all games on xBox support a mouse and a keyboard?! I would absoltely buy one just for that and not bother to upgrade a pc. I’m good with 60 fps

  12. Damn, I once thought game pass ultimate will include most of the DLCs for free. As a PC user, I should stay on PC Game Pass. My computer is better than the cloud gaming service, and there is no point to purchase XBOX GAME PASS ULTIMATE

  13. Yo will tiny tina’s arrive at xbox cloud
    Ill even buy it as a stream your own
    Anyone know?

  14. my question is if I am subscribed to the ultimate Xbox Game Pass but I do not have a console (I play on pc and cloud gaming via my TV) if I buy an Xbox series, will I be able to download my games from the Xbox game pass directly on my Xbox for a better gaming experience. (less lag and frame drop)

  15. Has a single dad who wants to sit in a recliner complaining of the glory days of just buying a game, my daughter has a pc (nothing special very entry level) this being said if I get ultimate, she will be able to log into her computer and play some games too? Is that what I’m hearing? Thank you everyone willing to help an aging gamer keep his kids happy!! 😂

  16. I have an ally x and also plan to get the Xbox ally x later this year I think my tier will probably be ultimate because I’m already pay similar prices to Netflix and Hulu plus tv and Disney so adding Xbox game pass is smart because you can pay $70 plus tax for one game or pay 14-20 a month and get hundreds of games to play

  17. with Oblivion remastered launching, and me being on a laptop that can’t run It, the streaming option looks amazing. Thanks for explaining the different tiers.

  18. Would be great to have a video for (if existing) a single membership but allowing multi devices connexion using same membership or a cheaper membership allowing at minimum to meet online with decent performances.

    I’ve tried boostroid but despite having optical fiber (cable super fast home connection) it was a catastrophy 480p at best
    ..😢and totally mess up controllers compatibility/remapping wasn’t even working properly.
    So currently i’m stuck with Ultimate gamepass (Xbox), it works great but it’s 19.99€ x 2 accounts/month 💸😬.

    I’ve been more or less lucky with 2nd hands accounts purchased from G2A. But it’s risky and scams (accounts locked, emails linked with the account getting banned after a week) so i give up + you loose all games progress when G2A prepaid 6 month accounts expiring.

    I heard 2 Luna’s would be the best compromise but the games library is not the best and i don’t think you can link third parties already purchased games like Steam…) ? Any ideas ?

    or video on the way as 2 accounts for decent 1080p lags free including on busy hours add up pretty quickly which make saving the money for 2 monthly memberships probably cheaper after a year or so…

    Especially if buying ebay 2nd hand "real hardware (or consoles) + a cheap game pass or even purchasing games license from G2A or other ebay marketplace ? Cloud gaming is absolutely amazing 4k quite old mac laptops we use at home 💻🏆

    but i couldn’t find a good deal for multi-devices access or family deals 2 or more cloud gaming memberships 🤔?? Kids and myself are not gaming a lot (8h a week max i would say)
    so maybe there is pay for use solutions i’m not aware of, and might be the best for us. And as per the games we mostly play coop campaigns, couch games, online multiplayers (but the 2-3 of us joining own maps (we never play 1st shooters games but mostly adventures and open world games are our favorite to play).

    Thanks for advices 🙏🏻or an upcoming video about solutions/best for families….
