Xbox Game Pass loses users: is there a reason to delete the service?

Chicha is missing in Game Pass

In recent days it has become a trend of messages on social networks users who are announcing that they are leaving Game Pass, and they are doing it in the heat of what they consider to be a compelling reason, such as the fact that the subscription service has not offered truly important titles for months. Of those that are called AAA and that in the case of Sony usually make a difference compared to their competition by being exclusive to their consoles.

It is true that after Microsoft’s arreón last year with its ForzaHorizon 5 Y halo-infinite, nothing important has arrived except for that legion of minor works that are not bad, but they are not one of those that make us pay without hesitation the 12.99 euros of the Ultimate mode (Xbox + PC). And the worst of all is that There is no good news on the horizon because just a week ago we found out that two of the main dishes, AAA and exclusive to Xbox, as they were Starfield Y Redfall, They were delayed and will not arrive this Christmas.

That downturn of seeing how two candidates to be part of Xbox Game Pass from the first day of launch leave in the (undetermined) first half of 2023, surely it has made users think if it is not worth paying anymore for those titles that they play on the service paying for them separately, rather than within a subscription that forces them to use it every month at a constant rate to get profitability. And it is that in many cases, successes like Carrion either Tunic either Trek to Yomi, They barely cost 20 euros, so if we invest a couple of months to finish them, why drop 26 euros of Game Pass for the same period of time?

Are there reasons to unsubscribe?

The comments that have been read in recent days clearly point to that lack of AAA games as the main reason to unsubscribe. Website managers, editors and specialized journalists have shared their reasons on networks, which range from “the service is excellent, but there are no AAA exclusives that force me to stay” to “I will return when the titles [importantes] start to arrive.” So it seems clear where Microsoft has a problem.

It is not necessary to analyze the situation much to confirm that Microsoft’s problem, not in Game Pass itself, but in its own consoles, is in the exclusive franchises, that when we are two years away from the launch of Xbox Series X| S is still as dry as ever, with just two appearances and always the same: a forcean Halo and a little more.

With Bethesda delaying their (exclusive) releases and Activision Blizzard not yet knowing how they will impact the Xbox ecosystem with their games in the near future, it is very possible that Game Pass will have a small desert crossing in 2022 that could last until much of 2023. At least until they appear Starfield Y red fall. And it is that when you entrust everything to your monthly subscription service, these things happen if you are not clear about what is the main claim for which users hire you a service.
