Just started playing Boltgun last night, and I will play the Paw Patrol game when it's added.

Game Pass is a great deal when you get the 2 weeks (or a month if they still do that) for $1. I've finished like 3 or 4 games for a couple bucks doing that, heh

I'd never pay real money for it though, the windows store has too many shenanigans going on with it like randomly deciding to delete games and account-tying your save games

Or use a VPN and get a foreign one for like $30/year.

Too much. I only need it for the few Denuvo games that look like something worth playing, a month is enough time.

Oh they're bringing back Control. That's surprising. Is that the first game that's left and then returned?

I tried to play boltgun this weekend but it wouldn't fit in my screen right and it made it hard to control.

Like that setting where you set the edge of the screen

It wouldn't go to to the edge.

No it happens pretty often, but this is the Ultimate Edition with the DLC. I don't think I have seen them bringing back a better version like that before.

I keep GamePass almost entirely for MLB, at this point.

For some reason when i did have Game pass, I didn't play anything. Its weird but I usually play games I own and even though I can play these for 'free' in a way, I just never bother. It also doesn't help that a lot of the games I already own or don't care about.

Will definitely be playing No More Heroes soon.

Likely correlating with Remedy claiming 100% of the sole Control rights from 505 Games, so this is a brand new Control SKU upped to the service. Probably updated for all digital storefronts too.

Nah it's happened before. The Yakuza games left and came back before as had Mortal Shell which left a second time.

Is this allowed by MS?

MLB The Show needs to come to Steam.

Oh wow, quite a few then. Thanks for the answers.

And now that I look, I think Maneater is another one. It's showing in the recently added list, but trying it on gamepass a few years ago is what got me to buy it on Steam. Maneater is a lot of fun if any gamepass enjoyers haven't tried it yet. You play as a shark that levels up and evolves by eating other sea creatures and humans. The game is narrated like a nature documentary.

The Maneater main... dev? Producer? turned out to be a rather awful person, which is why it kinda fell out of the limelight, but playing it in a manner where they don't directly benefit, such as GamePass, is worth it, since it's a legitimately fun game.

Maneater is so fun, even though I have had an Xbox console since 360, it was the first game I went 1000/1000 on the last time it was on Game Pass.
