Is the new xbox + gamepass worth it?

I've been thinking about getting the new Xbox for a while because of the gamepass offer for 13 euro per month. Do you have online membership and hundreds of games that you don't have to stream like with playstation now, but download correctly? Have I understood that correctly? I currently have a ps4 pro (I don't want ps5, it rather disappointed me). Is it worth getting the xbox just for the offer of the game pass?

So I have a PC and the Ps5.

If you have a good PC, you can also use the game pass there. If you don't like the Ps5 and you don't have a PC, the Xbox is definitely worth it. The Game Pass is a nice thing

Yes, I have a PC but it is not as powerful as the ps5 or xbox series x it would be

The Xbox Game Pass is the offer that you can only have in the game world.

If you want to fully exhaust the Xbox Game Pass, I recommend you to buy the XBOX GAME PASS ULTIMATE subscription and of course an Xbox. The Xbox Game Pass on the PC just can't keep up with the one on the console, mainly due to the number of games.

Are basically two questions.

Is the GamePass worth it?

Personal opinion: Absolutely. I don't think there has been such a good deal in the history of gaming. With the mass of games that are currently available there, there's something for everyone. And many new (Microsoft) games appear there as soon as they are released.

Is the new Xbox worth it?

If some are available at the normal price and you don't have an Xbox One: Yes, it's worth it. Otherwise I would wait and see. Most games run a little better on the Series X - the "real" next-gen updates are currently still missing for many games. So no need to upgrade now if you have an Xbox One.

By the way, the Series S can be worthwhile for the GamePass. It can only play digital games, which is cheaper. But it also has somewhat weaker hardware.

Thank you don't have an xbox one but an xbox 360 and lots of games, which is why I prefer the x to be able to play the games from it.

Thanks for the answer, if it will be available normally I will get it sometime during the year. I don't want to spend more money for that either

I recommend the Xbox Series S, which is currently available in the Microsoft Store with an RRP of € 299. But it can only play digital games, so you should have a fast internet. With only 350GB actual storage space, I also recommend getting a hard drive, a 1TB HDD should be cheap to find. In addition, trick with the purchase of Ultimate. But since the instructions are a bit long, please comment whether you are interested in the trick or not.

Do you mean the trick of where you have Xbox Live and then buy Ultimate? If not, I would also be interested in the trick

Ca

In fact, yes. It's just that not many people still know. I figured it out on my own when I had more months than I added up. At first I thought I might have discovered a great exploit or something like that, but some others already knew that. I'm sure MS knows that too. But I wonder why they allow something like that, they make a gigantic loss, especially because Ultimate costs an average of € 129 for a year. With just as much gold I would get ultimate just over 2 years through the trick…

MS knows that this exploit exists, at first it was a bug, but then Microsoft supported this trick and posted detailed instructions on their Twitter account (or elsewhere)

Lol I'm a blind fish XD
