For those who’re like many gamers, you may have wondered just how much money a PC gamer with a subscription to Xbox Game Pass can actually save. The Xbox Game Pass library has expanded substantially, with the total value of included video games reaching nearly $5,000 when all new titles are added in 2024.
According to Jamie Hore of PCGamesN, a thorough analysis was conducted by identifying the 137 video games added to the platform in 2024, valuing each at its initial release price, resulting in a total sum of $4,812.63. The approximate value of a full 12-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass is around $143 for enhanced readability. This fund represents a collection of accumulated savings.
Now clearly, there are caveats. This assumption implies that the hypothetical PC Game Pass subscriber is instantaneously downloading every newly released game on the platform, without hesitation or consideration of factors such as game quality, genre preference, or existing library? It’s widely acknowledged that you mainly save money by playing the games you have. I’m not motivated by the prospect of saving $30; I’d require a significantly higher sum to consider playing Starfield.
Though initially perceived as a testament to the transformative power of Recreation Mode, further investigation suggests that its impact is substantiated by empirical evidence.
Discoverably, we’re able to visualise significant cost savings per month through the PCGamesN article. In a resounding victory, April witnessed a massive influx of 17 new titles on PC Game Pass, including five day-one releases. Despite December’s underwhelming performance, the platform saw just six new game additions, including two day-one releases. Despite being a relatively slow month like December, the potential financial benefits still amount to $214.94. Not shabby in any respect!
Don’t you think that getting a new gaming platform would significantly alter your perspective on PC Game Pass? Are you feeling more enthusiastic about subscribing this time around, or do you wish you’d taken the leap last year? Are you a swashbuckling pirate, with nary a worry to weigh on your mind, no matter how the gusty sea breeze ruffles your locks or stirs the passions of your hearty soul? Tell us beneath.
