As someone who has Yakuza 1+2 on PS2, I agree with your Yakuza hipsterism. Play the series in order, you frauds.

Think it does depend on the platforms you own. I only have an Xbox so I’m using gamepass all the time. Best thing about it is playing games you never would have bought (Power Wash Simulator has been one of my favourites this year, would have not looked twice at it on a standard store). Also worth noting that Obsidian has a very interesting new game out in the next few weeks and that Deathloop is now on Xbox with Ghostwire to follow.

I think 2023 will be the defining year for whether Game Pass goes the way of the Dodo. Phil has promised at least 5 Microsoft owned studio games that we already know about so there could be more. Providing at least a few of these exclusives are top quality games, I think there will be a good surge in new and returning subscribers who might stick around long term if the output continues to be good. If not though then it’s hard to imagine Game Pass continuing in its current guise.
