That's what Microsoft wanted. Me and a friend bought a month of game pass to play through Oblivion and Doom Dark Ages then unsubscribed. I doubt they're going to keep doing day 1 releases in the long run because this might be hurting their game studios.

Sorry but what you mean with day 1 releases?

Typically subscription plans dont give you access to titles on day 1 of release. You have a choice of buying it or waiting.

Gamepass gives access to many titles day 1.

They made it tiered last year - some titles like CoD are on GamePass Ultimate only.
