It seems that Microsoft may be becoming more open to releasing their games on other platforms

Gamepass has already hiked their prices up, and is severely hampered on PC by offering “Xbox” versions of games that are often older builds with more bugs, fewer features, and if they’re multiplayer games, don’t allow you to play with friends on Steam.

Years after all the Gamepass hype and I still fail to see how Gamepass is really that much of a value. The only really defining characteristic of it is the day 1 releases, but more often than not those late disappointing on their own.

If you're pirating everything and want to play online then gamepass is your choice because trendy games switch so fast and buying new one every time is troublesome so you're buying gamepass and have access to most of them in one go
