I know this is going to backfire: gamepass is convenient but every person subscribing fuels the toxic „rentseeking culture“ of capitalists worldwide. Some would say that its much better to pirate than to use this shit. Besides: it is technologically subpar and surely privacy invasive.
And how much profit does GamePass make? And how much do the developers benefit from GamePass
Black Ops 6 and Indiana Jones released in this measured quarter. Mainly COD pulling these numbers up.
30% is huge though. I think with game pass, keeping those subscribers means adding more high quality games at a good cadence. Doom the dark ages, Avowed, Fable releasing this year might be a part of this strategy.
I’m loving doing eternal on my new 3070. But not from game pass though.
How good does Doom run! It is incredibly well optimised. My steam deck was getting a solid 60fps on medium settings from memory.
Maxed out, 60 fps. I like vsync when the card is good enough, so it’s locked there. Buttery smooth, I just suck and run out of ammo all the time lol
Just asking why for the vsync? I got a new PC last fall and have only used freesync going forward. I wasn’t aware there was still a reason to vsync ever again if you had the option to do so.
No idea, I don’t know what freesync is, I turned on vsync and it was super smooth, didn’t look past that.
I don’t game a lot, just wanted to play a few newer titles.
Ahhh, my bad. I figured you were talking about freesync (AMD) or g-sync (Nvidea) options, which allows you to get the benefit of vsync without using as many resources to power it. Your monitor and gpu have to support it before it can be enabled. I was like, how is this bad haha!?
No you’re good. I never used the vsync before because I felt like it always made my movements too slow but now with a better graphics card and a better monitor it’s super smooth and accurate and I really like it
I upgraded from a 1070 and a 1080p basic monitor. I now have dual 1440p asus IPS monitors and the 3070, so huge upgrade, about a decades worth of technology
I don’t think Fable is releasing this year, they’ve still shown barely anything and it was missing entirely from their recent developer direct of high profile 2025 games.
I can’t be the only one that has had issues with game pass, can I? I’ve tried it 3 separate times for 2-3 months each on three different PCs, and every time I’ve had different issues.
The windows client has been buggy. Sometimes clicking things just… doesn’t work. The pathing for save files is done in such a way that you can’t transfer them from PC to PC. Some games just straight up not working. The list went on for me. I figured I’d keep giving it another try on a new system, but not anymore.
I’ve read some people have absolutely zero issues after years of using it. I wonder why the experiences vary so highly from user to user. Game Pass was an interesting service, but a horrible experience for me.
Genuinely an awful user experience. It runs so laggy and slow on my computer, despite relatively modern hardware
