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?

    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.
