Gaming Subscriptions: The Future of Game Pass? #shorts

Added: 2026-05-18

[00:00:00]I think GTA will still be one of the greatest selling piece of medium of all time, but I think they'll have a lot harder time getting people to upgrade right now with the the price raises in consoles. I also wonder if they're doing all these price raises in anticipation that they'll know they know that there will be some more people that actually are willing to spend that just to play that one singular game, which is kind of crazy crazy to think about with all the prices with the console prices. When Nintendo switch 2 is going up now in September, everything is going up. They say the report itself even states that subscriptions are no longer expressions of loyalty highlighting how audiences frequently subscribe and unsubscribe from services like Netflix purely for a single show and realistically it's not much of a stretch to imagine people eventually treating Game Pass the same way. I feel like people already do that for Game Pass. You'll probably see people sign up for Gears Z day just to play that and then unsubscribe. Even Forza Horizon 6, play through that and then unsubscribe and eventually get it later, but the thing here is what I feel like these statistics are proving is that when you take a look at when you take a look at here, let me a second. When you take a look at who's prepared and where all these where all of these companies have gone, you've always seen people on Game Pass, but why do you think PlayStation Plus came into fruition and they're continuously improving it? Why do you think Nintendo Switch online is trying to continuously improve their subscription services? Cuz they're all seeing these trends happen.
