It's a ton of content for $15, let alone free. Rough launch but worth playing through some of the story stuff for anyone who's remotely a fan.

if everyone was paying MSRP that'd be $450m/month Microsoft is making from gamepass. Of course tons of us have discounts, etc but over time the price people pay will approach MSRP, thats nearly $6 billion a year Microsoft might be pulling from gamepass and it'll just keep growing.

By comparison something like Fortnite earns around $5 billion a year.

I doubt that most subs are doing the same, but I paid $1 for my first month and each month since has been free with about 5 mins/day spent completing Microsoft Rewards daily quests. such value!

Probably a fraction of a percent of subs. There are options like that out there for the price conscious though, absolutely.

yeah, I dont doubt that I'm an outlier.
my buddy has gamepass for himself and his two preteen boys, and pays full ticket for all 3.
I've been trying to convince him to take the 5 mins to get set up and start his dailies, and make his boys do theirs too if they want to keep the service.
Youd' think I was asking him to go to the dentist or something... dude's draggin his feet... I just want to save him some bux since he pays for a few private servers on top of that.

can't give money away!

I do some of the MS Rewards, but mostly just spend it on DLC type stuff. Or even full games... I think I have something like 65000 points at the moment. For GamePass itself, I just grab three or four 3-month codes (depending on whether or not MS is running their 3+1 promo for turning on recurring billing) when they're on sale for $20 or less on Black Friday/right before Xmas.

or people value their time more than you do.

5 min / day = 150 min a month, 2.5 hours spent to save $15

One guy I know gets interested/excited every time we talk about Xbox and rewards. Several day one Game Pass games he paid full price for, subs full price, etc., but he just doesn't care enough to bother.

He has a sub to every streaming service in existence, then complains about money, then is impressed because I've put $300 towards a series x, a racing wheel, the wireless headphones from rewards money, and an expansion storage from my girlfriend's account. Then he complains about having to buy all the same shit for his kid. Then he goes home, sits around clicking non-rewards shit on his phone, and the cycle repeats.

Or maybe him sitting through most family functions clicking shit on his phone is him valuing his time in a way I just can't understand.

Xbox is a hobby that at this point for me pays for itself through minimal effort with the rewards program. Others don't care to bother. It can be as simple as that without rationalizing some grand statement about people valuing their precious time more than others... as we discuss shit on a gaming forum lol.

Dailies in MMO are cancer enough, and a lot of people already have their fill of IRL dailies not to add freaking Xbox dailies on top.

let your ultimate month run out, then go buy 2-3 years of xbox gold - like $40-50/yr at most places - and then load 3 years of gold and convert to ultimate again for $1 (will work again once it expires). 2-3 years of ultimate then for $120 or less.

there are things like buying cheezits and getting 2 weeks ultimate codes but i dont really fuck with junk food

There will be a FUCK ton of deals coming in soon to coincide with Forza Horizon 5 (nov) and Halo Infinite (dec) so can just wait around till then.

12 months gold is $50 at newegg, only worth it if you aren't ultimate yet since gold->ult converts at 1:1. If you are already ultimate, this will only give you like 6 months of ultimate
