I just got an XSX today and I’m excited to get playing some games!
This might be a stupid question, but do you guys find that Gamepass is worth it? My main concern is what if I start playing a game and then they take it away; does that happen often?
I want to play MS Flight Sim 2020 and can’t decide whether to buy the game or just get GamePass.
Also, is GamePass Ultimate worth the premium? Seems like the main difference is that you also get the catalog of EA games, is that basically the difference?
All Microsoft games will be on Gamepass, so you wouldn’t have to worry about Flight Sim specifically. I did the Gold to Gamepass conversion for 3 years and have found it very worth it, but it’s hard to say at retail cost if I’d still sub.
Generally worth it.
There are lots of games on there that I’m interested in playing but don’t feel it is worth spending $20+ on. And even if there are only a few day one releases I would want to buy on there, it pretty much pays for itself.
They do rotate non first party games in and out. Usually there is a “leaving soon” notice posted. When the game is removed you can’t start it any more but you save/data is still preserved. If you really want to keep playing you can buy the game and pick up where you left off. This has happened to me zero times (most games left after I was done with them).
Re: ultimate, yes and I think access to games on the PC too?
I used this trick to get three years of Game Pass for about 4000 INR. Not sure if it still works: https://www.pcworld.com/article/397667/get-3-years-xbox-game-pass-ultimate-tip.html
I’ve had ultimate which has had Gamepass included since they came out with it. I think it is worth it just with the amount of games you can play and a lot of them are great games. Plus, anything new that is an Xbox exclusive is free on launch day. Below is GP Ultimate for a month free as long as you’ve never signed up for it before. Sorry for arranging, bots suck.

I was in the same boat when I bought the xsx. But it’s worth it, and I play games from my backlog in descending order. So I play first games that have been on the service the longest. Games that I love when they leave the service I will buy, but so far that’s a hand full after having the xsx for 2.5 years.
First party titles like Flight Simulator will never leave the service by the way.
Also there is the gold conversion trick. There are guides on reddit, but essentially means that you let current subscription expire, then get up to 36 months Gold (using codes) and then subscribe for 1 month to Ultimate. All Gold time will be converted 1 to 1 to Ultimate. It’s very important that this only works if you’ve no active GPU subscription.
