222 What's the Value Proposition of Xbox Game Pass in 2025?
Description
Xbox Game Pass just got significantly more expensive and subscribers are freaking out (and canceling in droves).The value proposition — unlimited access to 500+ games for $30/month — is still unprecedented. But as the cost of streaming and living rises across the board, and the hours we have to enjoy remain the same, that equation quickly gets more complicated.
We break down the value of Game Pass in a 2025 media ecosystem, and the future of subscription (and Cloud-based) game services.
Plus: An update on SILENT HILL f, and a game about many numbers going up at the same time.
