Is Game Pass enough value for you to buy Xbox Series X?

No. I don't play that many games anyway (as I don't even like that many games) and the games on Xbox have always been lackluster (trying to be nice, really) for me. I'll most likely go with the PS5 for the games I know and love and if Microsoft get any games that interest me at some point, I might get an Xbox somewhere along the line.
Same boat here. 3 years of Gamepass with my X1X and PC means I'm covered. Maybe in 2023.
I can't post a thread so I'm going to post it here. If it's not okay just let me know and i will delete this.
It seems that Star Wars Battlefront II will arrive soon to Xbox Game Pass:

It's not a system seller for me - I'm getting an XSX, Day One, regardless - but it does add value. For a fairly new service, it's already impressive. The ball is in Sony's court, which can only be a good thing. Sony has dominated this gen, it need to be kept on its toes.
I went for undecided however it probably is more likely to make me consider getting an Xbox for sure, and without it I'd not say that at all. So long as MS keep offering their subscription model to get the box, including Gamepass, then it makes it far more tempting and accessible to me. Pay a monthly fee for the console and all the games you need including the first party titles and yeah... if there's more than a couple of compelling games there I might bite. I'm going PS5 at launch though for sure unless something crazy happens. Xbox would be my second console for exclusives.
If they start churning out some decent exclusives and they're day 1 on Gamepass it would definitely be something that would make me consider a series x, but until then it doesn't interest me in the slightest.
That's the hope at least. They need to kind of lead the way with this kind of initiative with their 1P titles, that means having a dynamic UI that changes based on the input device that is detected. Gears Tactics and Age of Empires can do something like this and then 3P will follow.
Man I would love if games like Pillars of Eternity and Divinity had this feature for a m/k UI on consoles.
Definitely. I was enjoying Wasteland 2 on Xbox except for the controls. Games like that play much better with k/m. Ironically I prefer controller for shooters. It's these Western RPGs with a lot of UI management and strategy games that feel so much better with m/k. I hope Microsoft, which keeps promoting options, figures out a way to make it easy for devs to offer m/k every time going forward.
I already have 3 years of game pass ultimate. Getting series X is a no brainer. But I can take my time. Probably don't need it at launch.
