Have you cancelled your GamePass subscription?

Never started. Was waiting for a good time to do the three year trick. Namely waiting for their big games I was interested in like Avowed, Hellblade 2, Gears 6, Perfect Dark, Call of Duties, etc. Those games still haven't come. Then I decided to upgrade to Premium on PSN. Then they nerfed the gamepass conversion trick. Then last week happened. So, I think I have zero reasons to start subscribing lol.
A while ago, yeah. Eventually I realized I never finished most of the games I download. I'd test them for a few hours, say 'cool', then never think about them again. The games that did really interest me, I had already bought on Steam/Switch/etc. As far as Day 1 Xbox exclusives go, I just don't find the lot of them interesting enough aside from small few that I'd rather buy at this point.
I've been thinking about downgrading to Core from Ultimate where you just get the MS games.
Not necessarily because of the recent news though.

It ran out this year a few months ago. I actually thought it had already ran out because I got it a few years ago, with like 2 years in total to play Starfield but then Starfield got delayed and I was sure it was supposed to run out late last year.
In that two years I barely played anything however, not because it didn't have content just sheer apathy and the few things I did want I just bought on Steam like Gears 5, Wasteland 3 etc. Tried streaming a few things with mixed results.
Got an email about subscription ending in like Jan and was suprised but didn't bother to do anything about it.

I did, but before the closure of Tango, Arkane and Roundhouse, and not really for any admirable reason, just because I'm still not working and the sub I had stacked up for cheap was expired, and as rewards got less rewarding and I couldn't just make the points for a free month every month, it stopped being a luxury I wanted to afford.
As for whether I would restart if I got a job and started having the disposable income again? I honestly don't know. I'd have to weigh the pros and cons and I haven't done that yet.

I just resubbed but I only sub for a month at a time every 6-12 months. Got an HDR/OLED monitor and wanted to try out a bunch of games.
I think I managed to snag like 3 years worth for $1 a month or something when it came out and when it ran out I never renewed.
Yep at the beginning of the year. I recently traded in my Series X during the GameStop trade-in promotion as well. I'm likely done with Xbox consoles for good.
I just never used Game Pass enough to justify the price. There are already so many good games constantly coming out between PC, PS5 and Switch, I never felt like I had any need for GP games.

I cancelled a couple of years ago, only got it again because my isp gave me a year of ultimate for free for taking another contract term with them (which lowered my prices for my internet so I would have done so anyway), that ran out a while ago and I didn't bother paying for it myself after that.
Just got a new contract again with them and they are giving me another year for free as well, but based on how little the service is of use to me due to lack of content I care about overall most of the time, I'm thinking of just finding someone I know who I can give the year for free to and get cash for it instead from them. Though that's not exactly easy when I only know a few people with an Xbox outright and they don't use it enough to warrant gamepass when they have access to ps+ extra.

Nope, still enjoying it. Although it does feel like there isn't anything especially appealing to me on the horizon, other than Stalker 2. Ongoing subscription will also be dependant on any price increases.
It's an on and off type of deal. Usually sub if there is a big game releasing that i'm interested in. Ended up getting 4 months free from discord but that expired in April.
It's a neat service but it has never been in line with how I consume my games. Having a yearly sub to it would just be a total waste in my case.

After 2y didn't resub (around the end of the pandemic). I barely have time to clear my backlog, and my gaming time is reduced.
lol no, it's like I'm being fed a fire hydrant of games I'm interested in enough to play but not to fully buy.
Expires in July after 3 years. I really haven't used it enough to re-sub and like many others it seems, I've realised I don't play enough to games to justify paying for a service like this. Buying 2-3 big games I'm interested in per year on PS5 is enough for me, supplemented by indies on Steam.
I'm tempted to sell my Series X after the recent MS debacle, but I don't think the resale value is good enough to make it worthwhile.

Nope, all Bing rewarded up until 2025. But they have gradually gutted the rewards and I'm leaning towards not worth the time anymore. I might quit it all and let the sub run out depending on the potential new releases.
Yes, but I had it running for a couple of years even though I didn't have an Xbox. I don't play games on PC enough to justify it.
I will when it expires and will rejoin when a game comes to it I gotta play for a month at a time. I'm done with more subs than I need tbh
My subscription ran out in late February and I hadn't bothered with renewing it yet. With the recent news, I don't think I will be. I got my Series S as a Game Pass machine, but it's still great as a emulation/Kodi/digital X360 machine.
I subscribe like once a year on PC when there are at least two or three 1st party games that I know I can realistically beat in a month and then immediately cancel. So yeah, nothing to cancel at the moment. Next time will probably be for Hellblade and Avowed. Maybe Indy.
Imho, this will pretty much be the reality for many Xbox topics going forward which kind of sucks as there was finally real "peace" with most gaming threads.
To answer OP, cancelling in September as that is when my current sub run out. My kids picked up a PS5 a while back so I'll trade in my Xboxes to get a PS5 pro to keep everything on a single sub.
Yeah but primarily due to a lack of gaming time and a number of games I have that should see me through the rest of the year. Doing the same with PS Plus when that expires later this year.
