    PC Game Pass, your thoughts and experiences?


    Hi folks,

    I've recently ended my Game Pass ultimate, not because I don't
    like it, indeed on console it's great and works fine. I primarily ended it
    because I don't like how it works on PC.

    Of all the digital download services on PC, Xbox Game Pass has to
    be the worst, sorry but it just is.

    Games install to 'WindowsApps' folders which are protected/locked
    and encrypted. All other PC download services with the exception of GoG
    use DRM, but Microsoft has taken DRM to the next level. Want to fix a broken
    game or make a change to way it runs? Forget it. Want to make a game run
    better? Forget it. Unless a game has a ini file outside of the encrypted folder
    you can't change or fix it.

    Also certain Windows 10 operating system updates have broken
    games. Gears of War Ultimate hasn’t had a stable 60fps for years, no matter
    what PC you run it on. My Forza 7 now stutters when it used to run fine.

    In addition to not be allowed to change settings, the above-mentioned
    encryption is extremely strict. If you need re-install Windows 10 from scratch,
    your games will need to be re-downloaded, even on the same PC. Which means if
    you’ve got a few hundred GB of titles you’ll have no choice in re-downloading
    them all over again.

    What are your thoughts and experiences of Game PC on the PC
    platform?

    :)

    Game Pass Ultimate - Console Games become paid on PC

    Yeap....it's an EA game.......the version for PC is there, but this is not included in the Game Pass Ultimate. I thought as long as it's available for console and PC it would be part of Game Pass.

    Thanks

    Minecraft on Game Pass Ultimate

    Wait I thought Minecraft bedrock edition was on Game Pass? Are you not able to install it on PC?

    Game Pass Ultimate for PC

    Game Pass Ultimate doesn't have a separate PC or console version. Only the standard version of Game Pass does. Game Pass Ultimate includes both Game Pass for PC and console as well as a Gold subscription.

    If you already have EA Play (or standard Game Pass/Gold), it'll be converted to Ultimate as well.
    It also includes cloud gaming, which is very interesting to experiment with.

    xBox gaming pass code not working...

    Rei,

    If you EVER used Game Pass for PC.. you can't get the deal.

    I thought it applied 3 months of Game Pass PC ON TOP of what you already had.

    So really, it's a 3 month trial period.
