Xbox doubles down on '75+ Day One titles" for Game Pass in 2026

6 Likes

I’ll never have time to play 75 titles but I’m aware that’s not the point - if between the Xbox first party, the indies and the big ā€œgetsā€ they cover over half my gaming time next year - as they have for a few years recently - and therefore saved me money on buying many of the games, then it’ll still be worth the money to me

and if out of those 25 more titles you find a handful you try and like then it’s a net positive. Now if that’s enough to justify $10 more a month? who knows.

Yep for me if I like a few first party games, get to try a few indies and maybe get saved from buying one or two third party games I had my eye on each year, it feels worth it to me even if I couldn’t get discounted subs.

But yep everyone will have their own tipping point

Let’s hope that is true, especially due to the large increase for Ultimate.

Do they count early access and late ports in these numbers?

ā€œday oneā€ is seen as the day a game launches, the late ports aren’t ā€˜day one’ titles. early access games most likely count though, as it’s the first day you can pay for them and play them.

Aight, thanks.

Increabile. Gamepass still hit the right buttons for me in 2025 even with the price hike

I get that he has to PR spin the price increase, but if Game Pass continues to have the stellar year it has going forward, it would make the price increase more palatable.
