Gamepass vs Physical games (beehaw.org)

I just got an XSX today and I'm excited to get playing some games!

This might be a stupid question, but do you guys find that Gamepass is worth it? My main concern is what if I start playing a game and then they take it away; does that happen often?

I want to play MS Flight Sim 2020 and can't decide whether to buy the game or just get GamePass.

Also, is GamePass Ultimate worth the premium? Seems like the main difference is that you also get the catalog of EA games, is that basically the difference?

All Microsoft games will be on Gamepass, so you wouldn't have to worry about Flight Sim specifically. I did the Gold to Gamepass conversion for 3 years and have found it very worth it, but it's hard to say at retail cost if I'd still sub.

Generally worth it.

There are lots of games on there that I'm interested in playing but don't feel it is worth spending $20+ on. And even if there are only a few day one releases I would want to buy on there, it pretty much pays for itself.

They do rotate non first party games in and out. Usually there is a "leaving soon" notice posted. When the game is removed you can't start it any more but you save/data is still preserved. If you really want to keep playing you can buy the game and pick up where you left off. This has happened to me zero times (most games left after I was done with them).

Re: ultimate, yes and I think access to games on the PC too?
