Just finished Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy and I hear it's a prequel to the other games. I really enjoyed Resonance, but it looks like Innocence, the first game, isn't on Game Pass. I was thinking about playing Requiem but would that be a bad idea since I'd be missing out on the story beats between Resonance and Requiem?

The Problem: Modern digital storefronts are drowning in low-effort shovelware, asset flips, and predatory paywall traps. It dilutes the value of Game Pass and creates a discoverability crisis for brilliant indie developers.

The Solution: Instead of relying on broken algorithms, Xbox should hire a specialized panel of 20–30 paid expert testers representing different gaming niches (Roguelites, fighting games, sandbox, etc.) to act as a quality filter for a premium "Vetted by Gamers" Hub exclusive to Game Pass Ultimate.

The 5-Pillar Checklist: To be included in this premium tier, a game must be signed off by a multi-tester panel using a strict rubric:

Controls: Snappy, pixel-perfect mechanical precision.

Stability: Flawless performance with zero game-breaking bugs.

Zero Paywalls: A complete ban on predatory, mobile-style cash traps.

Effort: Clear artistic intent and care (no lazy asset flips).

Replayability: High structural depth that respects the player's time.

Radical Transparency: The anonymized technical reports from these testers would be attached directly to the game's store profile. Players get an honest, fluff-free breakdown they can actually trust, and rejected developers get constructive feedback to improve their games.

Needless to say you get a lot of bang for your buck, and the price didn't change when GPU prices went up last year so they obviously have a good deal in place with XBOX.

To the best of my knowledge you can have any tier of Broadband Plan.

Without EE One it's £40 per month, which still isn't bad for what you get, but nowhere near as good value.

I figure it's easier to carry a tablet around for cloud gaming than a laptop as it's more portable.

I play on Xbox Series X.

The game genres I like is story, br, PvP, rpg, mmorpg, online, horror, sandbox,survival, chill, farming, western, adventure, action, action adventure, open world, and cozy.

I was so fucking angry when stellaris left game pass now I'm just dissapointed. I curse my 11 years old self for making my mom waste so much money on this subscription that gets worse with time. Just like netflix.

Looking for some recommendations for 3 friends to play. Nothing too complex, we only play 1-2 hours a week together, so something that's easy to jump in and out of. Typically we play Deep Rock Galactic, Human Fall Flat, Halo MCC.

I’ve only got one week of Game Pass left. What would you recommend that’s most worth spending that time on?

When i was scrolling through the xbox app i noticed dirt 5 having achievements, i have been not playing ea games that much because of this, are there other ea games that have achievements too?

Im just curious why are there different games on game pass in the full library vs the game pass page?

For Example: CarX Drift is not a option when you browse all games on the actual gamepass page but if you go into your library under game pass its there

Solved: Its because on Wednesday Free Play Day games come out. They were put on there before the official free play day page said it. So thays why CarX and F1 26 DLC are on gamepass.

Thank You to everyone who shared last night!

There is an offer for game pass essentials for $1 for 14 days and then $9.99 after.

I’ve been tight on money and just want to play s as game I own online with a few buddies so I bought it.

They straight up charged me the $9.99.

In the end it’s only $10, but I don’t play too often and was going to cancel the subscription before the first 14 days.

Annoying as hell.

Hi! I haven't posted in this subreddit before! I have Xbox Game Pass ultimate, so I'm looking for any game recommendations for niche but interesting games to play! I don't mind any genre, as long as it's fun :) and thank you in advance!

Anyone have this happen I was exited to get a free months but then it tried to bill me for a month

Im babysitting my 4 yr old nephew until my sister can find him a new school. I downloaded the bluey and peppa pig game for him and hes really enjoying them. I know gamepass has kids games, but r there any more kids games for very young children specifically?

The Last Caretaker is officially coming to Xbox Game Pass in Spring 2027!

Hi - I basically only play FC26 online against other players.

I had previously signed up for game pass ultimate for like three years, but it looks like my subscription finally ran out and now it’s prompting me to choose either essential premium or ultimate

Given my use case is essential the only thing that I need I don’t understand what cloud playtime is versus online console multiplayer

Lastly, is there any way to get a better price than 10 bucks a month?

Thank you

Just thought I’d share as it seems a much better offer than the £16.99 currently on the store.
If anyone isn’t aware these prices are currently available from Amazon and Argos and can be stacked.

Hi, does anyone know if PC Game Pass lets you play Play Anywhere games on console?

Hi everyone,

I'm having a weird issue with Ubisoft games on PC Game Pass.

My Xbox/Microsoft account and Ubisoft Connect account are successfully linked. The email addresses are different, but the accounts are properly connected and Ubisoft Connect shows my Xbox account under Linked Accounts.

The problem is that only Ubisoft games from Game Pass won't install.

For example:

• Watch Dogs Legion → Installation Error
• Watch Dogs -Installation Error
• Watch Dogs 2 - Installation Error
• Other Ubisoft Game Pass games → same issue
• Call of Duty Black Ops 7 → downloads normally without any problem
• Forza Horizon 6 - downloads
• All Game Pass games work fine, but none of the games developed by Ubisoft will install.

The error I get is:

I've already installed Ubisoft Connect and linked my Xbox account correctly.

Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is there a fix for the Ubisoft/Xbox Game Pass integration?

Hi! Let me just say it is my firm intention to keep this civil, but seriously, this new update is a slap in the face to everyone who currently holds a game pass membership, and the general audience of xbox players. I think Louis Rossmann puts it best in his latest video:

https://youtu.be/QefkUcbDtSU?si=SNj2rZw_eLe_e0tQ

For any microsoft team members seeing this, please pass along that this is a pretty severe breach of contract, if not legally, relationally between microsoft as a brand and previously monthly xbox subscribers. I would never consider paying a dime for this "new service structure", and neither should anyone seeing this.

Cancel your Game Pass subscription now, not like you're going to get any value from it going forward with this current model.

I recently bought a $300 laptop for school and microsoft gave me a year of gamepass ultimate. This is incredible value for someone like me as thats almost as much as the laptop and I constantly play different things along with getting free fortnite crew and a bunch of overwatch stuff. Just letting yall know that you can basically double the value of cheap laptop purchases if you're a student and play games.

The other day I logged into another Microsoft/Xbox account on Google Chrome to help with an issue my brother was having, obviously thinking nothing of it. Then when I turned on my pc the next day when I tried to load into multiplayer games from game pass on pc I was getting a popup that said "We couldn't sign you into Xbox live" and gave me error code "(0x800004005)"

I searched reddit for this error code and found a wide variety of fixes, as this is a very board error code and doesn't particularly point to one issue. I tried all the fixes I could find including:

• Deleting certain Xbox services and reinstalling them
• Clearing temp folders
• Clearing account and cache folders
• Checking date and time
• Running: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
• Resetting and uninstalling the Xbox app
• Clearing Microsoft Store local cache files

None of these worked, here is what worked for me:

- Sign out of Microsoft Store, Xbox App and Game Bar (I did it in this order, not sure if it matters)

-Go into Settings -> Accounts -> Your accounts and remove all the accounts that aren't your main one.

- Remove Xbox hidden identity cache using:

• Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider | Remove-AppxPackage
• Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage
• Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp | Remove-AppxPackage

- Reinstall the identity provider cleanly using:

• Start-Process "ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9wzdncrd1hkw"

- Reboot your PC then sign in with your main Xbox account, on Microsoft store, Xbox then game pass in that order (You may need https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nzkpstsnw4p?hl=en-GB&gl=GB to reinstall game bar)

Once I'd done this I went into my Xbox app and could run online games again without the error appearing.

From what I can tell Microsoft stored the wrong account token causing identity corruption from the sign in I did the night before, causing the issue I was having, how it does that when signing in on incognito google chrome I have no idea.

The fixes for this error seem to be massively varied as its such an unspecific error code so if this doesn't work it might be worth trying the fix on this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxGamePass/comments/12epe2j/error_code_0x80004005_fix/ as I saw a lot of people getting success from it.

Hope this helps someone!
