My wife and I tend to only buy games we know we're going to like, which is an alien concept for kids. Paying out $60 for a game they simply must have, only to find they're bored with it after a week, wasn't sustainable. But buying a steady stream of games for me, my wife, and my two kids was getting expensive. I was skeptical about the quality and depth of Game Pass (and game subscription services generally). I often play the same games for weeks, but my Steam library is bristling with unplayed titles, and my kids have an insatiable thirst for new games.

As a veteran PC gamer with a preference for Sony's PlayStation consoles, I’m a late convert to the delights of Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription service.
