The Microsoft Store versions and Steam versions of games should look and run identically. Any framerate, any resolution, any setting. They are full game downloads and not cloud gaming. Games available with a game pass subscription have full PC menu options and settings that you would see on other PC platforms like Steam or EGS.
Hard Facts: 1: Service is not as good as console, not even close. But it is still the best one out there for it's price. You will get not more than half of the games, and definitely less to nothing day one AAA drops from third party publishers. 2: Xbox Game Pass PC as a platform (not service), is crap.
- How I Did The Math
- A Series S with Either Game Pass Plan Is Budget-Friendly Gaming
- A Series X with Either Game Pass Plan and Physical Games Cost More
- What If You Already Have A Series S Or X?
- Online Play Included with Xbgpu, Not Physical Games
- Is Either Xbox Game Pass Plan Worth It?
To calculate the costs, I started with the cost of the Series S, $300, and Series X, $500, since you need a console to play games on. The Series S is a digital-only console with no disc drive, so it can't play physical copies of games. The Series X has a disc drive, so it can play either digital or physical copies of games. It's important to includ...
We have two columns reflecting a Series S with one year of either game pass plan. A Series S with XBGP costs $420, the least expensive option. The Series S with XBGPU is $480, the second least expensive option. Both of these cost less than the Series X, and that's before you buy a game or a subscription.
There are five columns to show the Series X with one year of either Game Pass plan, Series X with one year of either Game Pass plan and physical games and Series X with just physical games. As you might expect, the Series X with XBGPU and one physical game costs the most, at $740 or $750. Next, the Series X with XBGP and one physical game costs $68...
As you can see above, the consoles are responsible for the majority of the costs in the first year. For the second year, we remove the cost of the consoles, and this also gives us an idea of what the cost will look like moving forward. As a reminder, one year of XBGP is $120, one year of XBGPU is $180 and a physical copy of a new game is between $6...
Another important thing to consider is whether or not you plan on playing games online. If you want to do that with physical games, you need to subscribe to Xbox Gold Live. Xbox Live Gold is $10 a month, or $60 a year. You would need to pay for a physical copy of a new game ($60-70) and then add the cost of one year of Xbox Live Gold ($60) to get $...
If you're on a budget and want access to hundreds of games and online play, you should consider a Series S with XBGPU. And if you already have a console, XBGPU is still a great deal. You have unlimited access to over 400 games as compared to buying a few physical games, plus you can play online with your friends. If money isn't an issue, then ball ...
