Re: Talking Point: Are You Happy With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate In 2026?

I’d like to drop to premium since I don’t really care about day 1 releases. I can wait, and games are usually better a year later anyway.

But it seems like there are some games that don’t come to premium, and I like the extra rewards points for ultimate. But is it ultimately worth it?? I guess I’ll have to pay more attention.

Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass, Including Three Big Additions (March 4-17)

@Fiendish-Beaver I agree with what you’re saying here. But one can only play so many games. If one only buys what one is going to play right away, eventually some of the stuff you miss (or will play anyway) ends up on game pass. I’m quite happily playing dragon quest 7 (which will probably never be on game pass), but I never got around to buying or playing either kingdom come game or cyberpunk. I’d definitely like to play all three now that they’re on game pass, but I’m not even sure I can play all three in a year.

@IronCrow86 Basically, Activision bought up a bunch of stuff, and then Microsoft bought Activision. Activision always had Zork/etc from their early days. Sierra On-line etc was purchased by activision too. On the other hand, I feel like Commander Keen is id software, which is... also owned by Microsoft... if you meant that. I can't remember who owns Duke, Crystal Caves, etc anymore, but if it's not under the Microsoft umbrella, it won't be in this collection.
