How do you folk immerse yourself this day and age , pay the monthly game pass , or stuck on gold / buy the game your going to be playing?

The new gamepass core isn't too terrible. Find some decent deals online to make it alot cheaper. I paid roughly 3 dollars a month for 4 months. Some good games to try out. But no blockbusters persay. I get it cuz have to to play online otherwise meh..id rather just buy a game when it goes on sale.

Yeah. I wish they did not do away the gold 50$/year plan.. I usually buy the game in full and jam on in this type of way. The new core is okay I guess but I notice games in "my games" that I didn't purchase.. I guess they just come with the plan for that month? Idk.. either way lol it has turned into extra monthly money for them and me still just buying the game in full if I do want to play it.

Izi to answer, even if the old 60€/year pass doesn't exist on microsoft you can get it somewhere else for an even cheeaper price. I bought 3xtimes gold for 44€/year and upgraded afterwards to gamepass for just 1€ until gold ends (so in 3 years)
So i have gamepass ultimate for 3years just for 133€

Hax. But maybe. With like a gift card or?

Yeah, but i just have read. That you cannot buy gold from now on lol.

Yeah lol , but maybe ya could still do the gift cards? It's defiantly an interesting question. Something to look up. It would be s cheaper alternative to the G pass offered and maybe a loop hole? I won't really utilize the game pass games so it's pointless but not for every one. Either way no real complaints just a curve ball thrown for making money by Xbox. Cloud gaming is kind of GG imo tho but doesn't appear every single game is allowable on it?

nvm

Yea the new gamepass core has a library of around 25 games or so. The old Xbox live gold had 2 free games a month but not with core. Just to clear that up. Its the same price as it was. But there are many deals online to get it way cheaper than 10 a month. And if you buy up a bunch of cheap core membership it can be converted at a 3/2 ratio when you buy a month of ultimate. And there plenty of discounts online for that as well. Cheapest I've seen tho recently is around 10 for 1 month. Hope that helps. And the ultimate library isn't too bad either. Plus it allows for console and pc gaming.

Purchase 3 years of gold (now core) from our favorite cdk site
Redeem all
Purchase 1mo gamepass ultimate
Converts at 3:2 ratio, so 2 years of gamepass ultimate for cheaper than you can get it anywhere else.

Only works if you don't currently have an active sub (let it expire first)

Style points for using Microsoft rewards too, that helps reduce the cost more.
