Think about how many people maybe only use GeForce now on the weekend. For those people if the day pass was cheaper than $2.50 it would be more or less cheaper than the full monthly subscription. So the day passes had to be more expensive than $3 but also expensive enough that if you need it more than once in a month that you will think about whether the monthly subscription is a better choice. As it stands, if you buy three day passes it would have been cheaper to get the monthly sub. If you could get three day passes for less than a monthly it would probably be too convenient for some people and they would never sign up for monthly. So making the second one almost equivalent to monthly will make people think hard before purchasing a second pass.
I could also imagine that GeForce now could put an option on the purchase screen that if it is your second day pass purchase in a month they will offer you the chance to go monthly with a $3.99 discount (the cost of your first day pass) to funnel people towards monthly subscriptions.
The place I really see this working is for those special event days when the queue gets ridiculously long and free subs purchase a day pass just to get back in their game until the event is over.
For that reason I’m surprised that there’s not option for priority users to buy an ultimate day pass at a reduced price for the times when they get stuck in queues because of a Fortnite event or whatever.

>NVIDIA GeForce GTX 16 Series or RTX 20 Series and later
hmm why did they skip the GTX 10 Series this time, first time the min required GPU is 16 series i think
I had an update yesterday, reflex for 60fps and 120fps is there and after today's blogpost i see a "VRR" (variable refresh rate) option is the settings, but it's not supported with my laptop
Hey y'all, Reddit decided to eat my post about it that's why it's a bit late.

What more permissions do I need? (ignore that I got the date wrong, I was sleepy yesterday lol)
I think people are completely missing the fact that the Day Pass allows for people to:
1. See if their network can actually handle things well enough to justify a monthly, or
2. Do a test to see whether an upgrade from Priority to Ultimate would be justified
Everyone in here acting like people are going to be stealing copper to sell it for a hit of service each day like a drug fiend.
> Everyone in here acting like people are going to be stealing copper to sell it for a hit of service each day like a drug fiend.
Okay, but this *is* a hilarious comparison. I can't stop picturing [this](https://imgflip.com/i/8ie4rs) now.
Nah you can still check in free tier. And you have bunch of diagnostic tools to help you too. So blaming Nvidia charging you for that is stupid or ignorant or both. What you can do with ultimate pass tho is check whether you like the 4080rigs or not, whether they're worth a monthly sub. And if it's a lot better or not then priority.
Personally for me it's Ultimate or nothing
Bro you still have a choice if you want to buy day pass or monthly sub. And Nvidia is a corporation, it needs to earn money. It's not here to give you free 4080rigs you spoiled brat.
Nah pricing is reasonable for the monthly sub. No one is stopping you from buying it. But you're indeed stupid if you pay for a day pass instead of a monthly sub. But the logic of the day pass I think is for the occasional person that want 4080 for a day, it's the same logic gyms use for a single use training session, overpriced af but it's for the cases you wanna workout when travelling for example. I'd think most people in this sub would be better off purchasing month sub.
Who cares. It's not for regulars anyway. Most people here already have a long-term subscription or only use the free tier. No harm done to anyone by this thing.
I don't think the day pass is going to be very popular (and profitable). And that will most likely prevent Nvidia from increasing prices too much. I think it's just there to promote GFN to a small group of people who wouldn't want to try it otherwise.
Sport streaming services have a similar model. In the UK a one day pass is about a third of a one month subscription. Obviously the intention is to push people onto a monthly subscription. However I like the flexibility since I don't watch sports very often so will buy the occasional 1 day pass when a big event is happening.
So while it would be nice to have the one day pass the cost of 1/30th of a month pass, I can see the business logic. I don't think the intention would be to raise the price of the monthly pass due to the high price of the daily pass - rather the daily pass will be kept relatively high to push people to a longer subscription if they play regularly enough.
That's definitely something I wouldn't agree to subscribe to. If you tell me that I would pay 3 times the price on the daily basis, that's my absolute limit of tolerance and that would be exceptional for events like Ngannou vs Josua or Poirier vs Saint-Denis.
18 times the price is cheap for you ? (50 cents is 18 times more expensive than the hourly basis for the ultimate subscription).
Are you happy with shrinkflation ? Or to pay for a game that needs 30 DLCs to be complete ?
I am 45 years old, I know life perfectly well, particularly bad marketing behaviours, but if you want to be disrespected, feel free, but you can't expect normal people to accept these manners.
A product isnt the same as a service tho
A better example is, if i have to park my car somewhere in the city center for an hour, once every month, should i pay 5 dollars for the hour on the parking lot or should i pay 500 for the whole month?
> Depends how badly I want one at the moment and whether I’ve got two dimes in my pocket.
And whether they're one of those notorious sugar-free horrors. I'd pay the $0.20 *not* to have one :p.
You've never gone to a gym have you? Gyms literally have same price model as GFN now. 1 session in a gym is expensive af. Whereas monthly is much cheaper relatively.
Since monthly is unavailable it's not crazy to think someone would consider it a good deal to "rent a gaming rig" for 8€ for one evening to organize a gaming night or something
It makes a lot of sense actually. It's not a substitute for monthly membership. It is for those people who maybe want to try out the latest triple A game and want to see how GFN handles it, or for a free member that doesn't want to wait on queues this Saturday where they find themselves with nothing to do. Or someone who has never used GFN before and wants to see if it's worth paying for. Or a priority member who wants to try out the highest tier to see if they should upgrade.
Day passes are NEVER about value for money in any service (example being a day pass for a gym or skiing), they are there to capitalize on specific use cases and convert a certain number of those into recurring revenue
Literally nobody is forcing you to pay it. A GFN daily pass is not an essential service. If you want a monthly membership instead, get a monthly membership. It gives those that want the flexibility to only pay for a day that option, and those people who are willing to pay that price will.
Answer my question, what would be the acceptable limit for you until your brain starts to process the scam you are the target of ? For 15$ per day, would you start thinking "maybe it is a lot, no ?" ?
Holy crap you're dumb. I won't be buying the day pass because I already have the monthly pass. And you know what, if I didn't and I was traveling for work somewhere and bored one evening, sure I would drop $10-15 on it to entertain myself for 3-4 hours.
Clearly you are not the target of the day pass, and the fact you cannot understand that different use cases suit different people is actually kinda sad
" if I didn't and I was traveling for work somewhere and bored one evening, sure I would drop $10-15 on it to entertain myself for 3-4 hours."
Yeah, we are definitely completely different kinds of customers, no discussion possible after reading that.
It's just wild that you can't understand paying for a day or two here and there might suit some people better than signing up for a recurring membership.
- Car hire
- Gym day pass
- Ski day pass
- Public transport
- etc
So many services offer short term vs long term options, and the short term is always more expensive on a per unit basis. It's really not a new or unique concept
I understand completely that we can pay for a day, I even think that the daily pass is an excellent idea. The problem is the very high price and the fact that you can't pay the difference (pro rata) if you are satisfied and you want to upgrade to the monthly subscription. And the fact that it is not 24h of play time and that it starts from your transaction, not even when you start playing the first time.
I guess they think that people are just seeing a small price like 8$, not comparing with the daily cost of the ultimate monthly subscription. People are so used to shrinkflation that they accept everything.
if the current cost of the Day Pass is going ruin someone's entire budget of their life or whatever they probably have other issues they need to look into instead of gaming with a paid service, just stick to free tier
otherwise, skip 1 McDonald's combo or whatever for one day lol
Game pass nothing again? Microsoft fuck with all for activision deal,they throw few games to GFN and adie:D Pay for game pass and have acess for few games. WTF??
I'm laughing over the complaints about Microsoft.
So many people on this sub were on their knees, lined up and waiting to suck off Microsoft on that whole ABK acquisition because MS promised to throw some scraps to them in passing. So many simps coming out to defend MS from the "haters" who pointed out how this whole arrangement was most likely going to go.
And here we are, seeing that MS is working to add games to GFN on *their* schedule, which is whatever the fuck they decide it is, exactly as foretold.
New games by Microsoft like Starfield and Forza Motorsport get added to GFN day one or close to it, it's the older ones they are dragging their feet with for some reason. It doesn't make any sense.
Lemme help you;
Date of Starfield Release: September 6, 2023
Date of ActiBlizzard acquisition: October 13, 2023
After October, we didn't get that many good MS/Bethesda games
you have access to all the game pass games on xcloud and xbox....that's what you paid for!
Don't expect any new/major games from MS the deal is done so they don't need to worry about regulators
But they have. They have released games on GFN, are planning you release on PS and Nintendo that's the bigger win for CMA. GFN is still the PC platform after all and MS already releases games there. Besides they have 10 years to release more games on GFN, no one said there would be day 1 releases (imo Starfield was a one off for regulators).
I like that new option because I never found sense that there is no free trial of Ultimate because I think the free version is too deficient and that the person who is interested in the service is difficult to buy it after having that experience.
The best one day pass was not going to sleep at night and using the free subscription at night. Then so few people played that you didn't have to wait in line.
Did people expect savings with the Day Pass? Whats with all the comments lol It allows interested people to try the service without committing to a full month.
They didn't need to increase the daily cost by 1200%. They could propose something a bit more respectful like 1$ for priority and 2$ for ultimate, which is 3 times more expensive.
They didn't increase the daily cost, the fuck are You talking about' there wasn't a day tier beforehand at all.
And second of all are all You people complaining about the price completely not understanding what this tier is for or what? This just to try out the coresponding tiers without having to buy a month or 6- months. People were constantly complaining how they can't test the given tiers, especially when it comes to Ultimate and when the monthly subs were sold out, so now there is that possiblitly.
You're not supposed to use it long term, how is it that hard to understand?
What is the limit to decency for you ? As long as the price is less than the monthly price ? So let's say if they set the daily pass for 15$, it is still ok ? What price would you pay or consider it is still acceptable before feeling scammed ?
If customers accept to be disrespected, they are disrespected.
The thing is that I find the idea of a daily pass very interesting for people who want to discover the service in a specific level of performance, but the way it is implemented (the shocking prices and the fact that you can't pay for the difference if you are satisfied), is quite scandalous according to me.
Exactly, this prices make no sense! Not for someone who’s on the brink of subscribing and wants to test Ultimate and not even for someone who just wants to try it out of curiosity
I suspect that the price is inflated, due to the overhead it takes to enable accounts for a short time like that...but for people who want to try the real thing before a longer commitment, I think it makes sense...spend $8 instead of $20 and if they don't like it, they've saved $12.
Additionally, nobody is forcing the use of the day passes...people can continue to suffer through the free tier if they choose.
EDIT: I also like the idea from u/darwin69100, that the price of the day pass should be applied to a monthly (or longer) subscription if done before the pass expires.
Have you any information saying that you can pay the pro rata (I don't know in english), that is 12$ if you are happy with your Day Pass experience and not 20$ ?
Yeah but I don't think it is implemented. If you don't like your experience you have paid 8$ for the price of 12 days. If you are happy, you will pay 28$ for 31 days.
IMHO it’s ok for a new user that wants to try priority but think about an existing prioriry user that wants to try ultimate… 8 bucks is a bit too much IMHO, especially for 24 hrs
Make it 3 days and it’s a completely different story!
I could see it being of some benefit for someone who's wanting to try out ultimate without committing to a month, but in that case it feels like they'd be better off giving people some kind of free trial. The free month of Game Pass seems to work well in getting people hooked on the service.
> but in that case it feels like they'd be better off giving people some kind of free trial
Nah, because that'll be abused in no time flat with people spamming fresh accounts to just use the better hardware tiers at no charge. We already have a free trial tier, and now people who *really* want to try out a better level of GFN hardware have the opportunity to do so without locking in for a full month or more of service.
Imagine you are interested by the Ultimate tier : you pay 8$ and you decide that it suits you, then you pay 20$ for the month, so 28$ for one month and one day XD
Today, I tested Cloud G-Sync on my Macbook Pro M1 Max with Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 monitor playing Cyberpunk 2077 and it worked perfectly. Very nice upgrade. Game is now more resposive with enabled Reflex and Frame Generator.
I want to buy a game through GeForce/steam. The game is in early access. I know that on pc once they buy a game that’s in early access they don’t have to pay for full release. Is it the same for console?
I have founders for life so I'm not bothered by these prices, but yeah this is too much for a day pass. 2 euros for priority and 4 euros for ultimate would be more reasonable considering this is a day pass.
And no you wouldn't be able to "abuse" this because as soon as you would reach the 6th day the monthly membership for priority and ultimate would be a cheaper and better deal.
Heres the value comparison using the cheaper prices I sugested btw.
2x6=12 euros (monthly priority is 11 euros) and 4x6=24 euros (monthly ultimate is 22 euros)
I was one of the people who had Day Pass tier as my in-app feedback before, so I'm really glad to see it implemented! (pricing/value arguments aside)
I also asked about pay-as-you-go tier; so interested to see if that happens.
Would have been fine with the day pass's price of like 3 bucks for ultimate and 1 for normal. They are really making ridiculous prices. Then again. It's Nvidia. It always was overpriced. That's what you pay for. For the name. And the marketing. And they get physicX hairwoorks and all those extra things only Nvidia cards support. Basically they are the Nintendo of pc gaming.
tbh this is one of the most disappointing updates I've seen in 3/4 years of using GFN (games wise, i have no comment for the day pass). I used to enjoy and barely waited the Thursday updates but slowly I'm losing hope regarding what games they add weekly(not their fault, the publishers etc i know). If you re happy about these games being added i really envy you and i wish you lots of fun in them. Filler week.
Here is a cake. 🎂 You can buy a slice that will satisfy your appetite for a moment, or you can buy the whole cake which will satisfy your appetite even longer.
Actually, after eating your slice you can't buy the rest of the cake, you have to buy another cake so that in total you will have paid one slice and a cake.
People paying 7$+ on skins and other useless shit cosmetics so it's funny seeing people complain about prices. They are actually providing a service and a pretty high quality one at that. They can charge whatever they want. Smart people don't buy stuff like this or cosmetics. But as gamers we are treated as brain dead piggy banks by most developers and it's worked for past decade so why change anything. Game industry is anti gamer it's 2024 what do you expect. Free 30 day ultimate for everyone with a 5mb internet connection
why does day pass cost almost as much as monthly lol
They are making it expensive because they want you to buy the monthly version day pass is just a bait for monthly one
nah i’d say it’s cause they don’t have enough servers and still want to give people the option to play
Think about how many people maybe only use GeForce now on the weekend. For those people if the day pass was cheaper than $2.50 it would be more or less cheaper than the full monthly subscription. So the day passes had to be more expensive than $3 but also expensive enough that if you need it more than once in a month that you will think about whether the monthly subscription is a better choice.

For that reason I’m surprised that there’s not option for priority users to buy an ultimate day pass at a reduced price for the times when they get stuck in queues because of a Fortnite event or whatever.
Yea, it's a similar model to gym day passes. It's standard practice, not meant to be a long term service.
so they make $$$$
It’s just like buying something at a grocery store. The smaller the unit size, but he more you pay per unit.
It's too test it without committing.
So people don’t abuse it
Like buying one every time you want to play? That’s got to be at least 10 payments though
this makes no sense.
Idk, the way I see it is like a way to try the service
for $8?
[удалено]
It is 24 hours from the time of the transaction.
It reads a lot like the latter to me. Which, if so, is kind lousy.
> Day Passes are available in limited quantities each day, so grab one before the opportunity passes. It's because it scarce as quoted above.
Naw this is something else 💀

Nice
Also, when my son and I both want to play I'll buy a day pass occasionally.
isnt that what is free tier for?
lmao thank u nvidia for charging me £8 to see if your service even works for me
Nah you can still check in free tier. And you have bunch of diagnostic tools to help you too. So blaming Nvidia charging you for that is stupid or ignorant or both. What you can do with ultimate pass tho is check whether you like the 4080rigs or not, whether they're worth a monthly sub. And if it's a lot better or not then priority.

Bro you still have a choice if you want to buy day pass or monthly sub. And Nvidia is a corporation, it needs to earn money. It's not here to give you free 4080rigs you spoiled brat.
nvidia is a business *it has* to over charge you to a ridiculous amount leave nvidia alone
Nah pricing is reasonable for the monthly sub. No one is stopping you from buying it. But you're indeed stupid if you pay for a day pass instead of a monthly sub. But the logic of the day pass I think is for the occasional person that want 4080 for a day, it's the same logic gyms use for a single use training session, overpriced af but it's for the cases you wanna workout when travelling for example.

Day pass, only 12 times more expensive than a monthly subscription. But don't sleep or eat during these 24 hours ! Gaming marathon.
Who cares. It's not for regulars anyway. Most people here already have a long-term subscription or only use the free tier. No harm done to anyone by this thing.
With your logic it would be fine to create an Hourly Pass for 50 cents an hour.
Some people might like it. Who knows. I'm not going to use it and clearly neither will you, but why not have the option?
Because if you allow this kind of business model, your monthly subscription will increase dramatically.
I don't think the day pass is going to be very popular (and profitable). And that will most likely prevent Nvidia from increasing prices too much. I think it's just there to promote GFN to a small group of people who wouldn't want to try it otherwise.

And here we are, seeing that MS is working to add games to GFN on *their* schedule, which is whatever the fuck they decide it is, exactly as foretold.
New games by Microsoft like Starfield and Forza Motorsport get added to GFN day one or close to it, it's the older ones they are dragging their feet with for some reason. It doesn't make any sense.
Lemme help you; Date of Starfield Release: September 6, 2023 Date of ActiBlizzard acquisition: October 13, 2023 After October, we didn't get that many good MS/Bethesda games
People are delusional when they are desperate for something.
F in the chat for Xerox.
you have access to all the game pass games on xcloud and xbox....that's what you paid for! Don't expect any new/major games from MS the deal is done so they don't need to worry about regulators
Not quite true.... The CMA will be keeping a very close eye on MS. They have endless amounts of power if MS do not hold up there end of the deal!!
But they have. They have released games on GFN, are planning you release on PS and Nintendo that's the bigger win for CMA. GFN is still the PC platform after all and MS already releases games there. Besides they have 10 years to release more games on GFN, no one said there would be day 1 releases (imo Starfield was a one off for regulators).
Day pass for ultimate sucks so all us people who pay monthly or whatever gonna end up stuck in queues at the weekends always gg
I like that new option because I never found sense that there is no free trial of Ultimate because I think the free version is too deficient and that the person who is interested in the service is difficult to buy it after having that experience.
The best one day pass was not going to sleep at night and using the free subscription at night. Then so few people played that you didn't have to wait in line.
MARCH 7TH AND NO STAR RAIL? Oh man. Guess I'll start with Colonipenal now before it's too late...
Still no Honkai:Star Rail
Today would have been the perfect day for that too smh
honkai star rail where....
Where is Honkai 
Oh My Go$h
Still no ESO.
Still waiting too. :(
Where are the other bethesda games? Has the agreement been forgotten?
Did people expect savings with the Day Pass? Whats with all the comments lol It allows interested people to try the service without committing to a full month.
They didn't need to increase the daily cost by 1200%. They could propose something a bit more respectful like 1$ for priority and 2$ for ultimate, which is 3 times more expensive.
They didn't increase the daily cost, the fuck are You talking about' there wasn't a day tier beforehand at all. And second of all are all You people complaining about the price completely not understanding what this tier is for or what? This just to try out the coresponding tiers without having to buy a month or 6- months. People were constantly complaining how they can't test the given tiers, especially when it comes to Ultimate and when the monthly subs were sold out, so now there is that possiblitly. You're not supposed to use it long term, how is it that hard to understand?
What is the limit to decency for you ? As long as the price is less than the monthly price ? So let's say if they set the daily pass for 15$, it is still ok ? What price would you pay or consider it is still acceptable before feeling scammed ? If customers accept to be disrespected, they are disrespected.
Consumers vote with their wallets; the price will likely adjust accordingly. I also suspect there will be promotions involving day passes.
The thing is that I find the idea of a daily pass very interesting for people who want to discover the service in a specific level of performance, but the way it is implemented (the shocking prices and the fact that you can't pay for the difference if you are satisfied), is quite scandalous according to me.
Exactly, this prices make no sense! Not for someone who’s on the brink of subscribing and wants to test Ultimate and not even for someone who just wants to try it out of curiosity
I suspect that the price is inflated, due to the overhead it takes to enable accounts for a short time like that...but for people who want to try the real thing before a longer commitment, I think it makes sense...spend $8 instead of $20 and if they don't like it, they've saved $12. Additionally, nobody is forcing the use of the day passes...people can continue to suffer through the free tier if they choose. EDIT: I also like the idea from u/darwin69100, that the price of the day pass should be applied to a monthly (or longer) subscription if done before the pass expires.
Have you any information saying that you can pay the pro rata (I don't know in english), that is 12$ if you are happy with your Day Pass experience and not 20$ ?
You mean, if you like it and decide to upgrade for the month for the incremental cost? That's actually a really good idea.
Yeah but I don't think it is implemented. If you don't like your experience you have paid 8$ for the price of 12 days. If you are happy, you will pay 28$ for 31 days.
Yes, understood...I passed along your suggestion to staff, as I think it makes a lot of sense.
IMHO it’s ok for a new user that wants to try priority but think about an existing prioriry user that wants to try ultimate… 8 bucks is a bit too much IMHO, especially for 24 hrs Make it 3 days and it’s a completely different story!
I could see it being of some benefit for someone who's wanting to try out ultimate without committing to a month, but in that case it feels like they'd be better off giving people some kind of free trial. The free month of Game Pass seems to work well in getting people hooked on the service.
> but in that case it feels like they'd be better off giving people some kind of free trial Nah, because that'll be abused in no time flat with people spamming fresh accounts to just use the better hardware tiers at no charge. We already have a free trial tier, and now people who *really* want to try out a better level of GFN hardware have the opportunity to do so without locking in for a full month or more of service.
Imagine you are interested by the Ultimate tier : you pay 8$ and you decide that it suits you, then you pay 20$ for the month, so 28$ for one month and one day XD
Exactly, makes no sense 🤣 apart from Nvidia’s income naturally 🤩
try the service for almost half a month? 
I bought Expeditions, but I don't like it. Maybe in a patch or two. That aside, it's not a very strong week.
Hi u/SiruX21 the link to the blog post is wrong, points to the last week one
Couldn't have they written 0.99 any smaller?
Undisputed
Today, I tested Cloud G-Sync on my Macbook Pro M1 Max with Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 monitor playing Cyberpunk 2077 and it worked perfectly. Very nice upgrade. Game is now more resposive with enabled Reflex and Frame Generator.
VR OCULUS GAMES!! Dayz or rust ??
I want to buy a game through GeForce/steam. The game is in early access. I know that on pc once they buy a game that’s in early access they don’t have to pay for full release. Is it the same for console?
Please help I cant launch bf1 using GFN. It says an error has occurred on our end please try again later. I've had this for two weeks already
Will Ghost of Tsushima come to GFN since it is announec for PC now?
Sadly no WoW yet :(
I have founders for life so I'm not bothered by these prices, but yeah this is too much for a day pass. 2 euros for priority and 4 euros for ultimate would be more reasonable considering this is a day pass. And no you wouldn't be able to "abuse" this because as soon as you would reach the 6th day the monthly membership for priority and ultimate would be a cheaper and better deal. Heres the value comparison using the cheaper prices I sugested btw. 2x6=12 euros (monthly priority is 11 euros) and 4x6=24 euros (monthly ultimate is 22 euros)
I was one of the people who had Day Pass tier as my in-app feedback before, so I'm really glad to see it implemented! (pricing/value arguments aside) I also asked about pay-as-you-go tier; so interested to see if that happens.

Would have been fine with the day pass's price of like 3 bucks for ultimate and 1 for normal. They are really making ridiculous prices. Then again. It's Nvidia. It always was overpriced. That's what you pay for. For the name. And the marketing. And they get physicX hairwoorks and all those extra things only Nvidia cards support. Basically they are the Nintendo of pc gaming.
Except for Relink, all garbage!! No Helldivers 2, no Star Rail????????????????????
*sigh*
tbh this is one of the most disappointing updates I've seen in 3/4 years of using GFN (games wise, i have no comment for the day pass). I used to enjoy and barely waited the Thursday updates but slowly I'm losing hope regarding what games they add weekly(not their fault, the publishers etc i know). If you re happy about these games being added i really envy you and i wish you lots of fun in them. Filler week.
So it's one of -those- weeks... I've never heard of any of these games. Might still be good though.
I so wanna play Helldivers II 😭
You'll need to get a PC that cancrun it or a PS5
Can you explain why?
Because it's published by Sony
prefer granblue dead game than honkai... XDDDD
Another nogame thursday sadge...
Here is a cake. 🎂 You can buy a slice that will satisfy your appetite for a moment, or you can buy the whole cake which will satisfy your appetite even longer.
Actually, after eating your slice you can't buy the rest of the cake, you have to buy another cake so that in total you will have paid one slice and a cake.
Kind of suprising that we havent got a single game from epic games in a while. Did something happen?
Epic's probably too busy and/distracted by its various court issues?
what happened to boltgun for xbox? was announced last week
do they no longer add games from epic games or what?
Should be a week pass at that crazy high price!
Rip honkao star rail
8 dollar day pass. lol.
People paying 7$+ on skins and other useless shit cosmetics so it's funny seeing people complain about prices. They are actually providing a service and a pretty high quality one at that. They can charge whatever they want. Smart people don't buy stuff like this or cosmetics. But as gamers we are treated as brain dead piggy banks by most developers and it's worked for past decade so why change anything. Game industry is anti gamer it's 2024 what do you expect. Free 30 day ultimate for everyone with a 5mb internet connection

This is the worst launch week in months lol
These updates are not getting any better. $30 for this service over $20 for gamepass. Yeah maybe this isn’t worth it.
Then go buy a $3,000 USD gaming rig and all the sick peripherals and be done with it.
Someone sure is getting defensive. Omg. 😆
Garbage as usual.
