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. Keep in mind that (going forward) some games will be exclusive to the Series X and S consoles, so you won’t be able to play these on older hardware.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. That means if you have a new Xbox Series X and an older Xbox One S, you can share your subscription with both. They can be any two consoles within the Xbox family that can take advantage of Game Pass. This method only works across two consoles. Microsoft created the “game sharing” system which allows for subscriptions and games to be shared with other consoles. Let’s get one thing out of the way before you start: there’s nothing wrong with doing this and you won’t be banned by Microsoft for sharing your subscription between two consoles. If you pay for Game Pass you can share it between two consoles, and even play the same game on both at the same time. Game Pass is Microsoft’s all-you-can-eat gaming subscription which allows you to play over 100 games for a flat fee each month.
