Xbox Game Pass is the true Game of the Year 2020 for GamesIndustry's editor-in-chief, Matthew Handrahan. Not a game, but a subscription service that has profoundly changed the habits of many users.
Available for several years now on PC and Xbox, Xbox Game Pass gives you access to a huge catalog of titles, including all first party productions since day one, for a negligible monthly amount compared to the real value of these products.
"The reasons for this choice are many, but two stand out in particular. The first and most obvious is the affordability of the subscription, "Handrahan wrote.
" Although there is a lot to discuss about the economics behind all-you-can-eat services as far as developers are concerned, from a consumer perspective this is a bargain to be grasped. "
" The second reason (...) is the choice available, "continued GamesIndustry's editor-in-chief. "For example, I haven't had a chance to play Dead Cells since it came out three years ago."
"The truth is, I could have missed the Motion Twin title if it hadn't landed on Xbox Game Pass. Glad I got it back, it was one of the best things I played in 2020. "
" Would I actually buy these games? Maybe after a few years, enticed by a hefty discount. The development teams can they now count on even more passionate support for their upcoming titles? Definitely, and the credit goes to Xbox Game Pass. "
