We know that in the current game console market, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are the three giants. Since Nintendo's strategic thrust and distribution strategy are completely different from the previous two, it does not constitute a direct competitive relationship. Microsoft and Sony are direct competitors, in order to attract new players or let old players jump ship, both sides have done their best, of which Microsoft's killer skill is the Xbox Game Pass subscription service, which allows players to spend very little money to play a large number of games on the PC platform and Xbox console!
How "massive" is it? The doctor noticed that the foreign media "The Loadout" specially carried out relevant statistics, Microsoft in 2021 will add a large number of high-quality games to the XGP (Xbox Game Pass) service, the total value of up to 6317 US dollars (about 4w yuan)! Paid members can not only enjoy Xbox games such as Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5, Halo: Infinity, etc., but also play many third-party games, which are quite cost-effective! What about 2022?
According to the statistics of foreign media "Pure Box", in 2022, it has been determined that thirty-one games will join the XGP service! Of course, these 31 games are only now proven, and there will be more products to add to the subscription service in the future. The doctor took a look at it, and he rushed to the following five masterpieces, I think the XGP service is cost-effective, let's take a look.
Total War: Warhammer 3
Total War: Warhammer III is a strategy game published by Sega and developed by The Creative Assembly, which is the final chapter of the Total War: Warhammer series of game trilogies. For players who like strategy games and like the Total War series, this game is a must-play.
"Starry Sky"
Starfield is a role-playing game developed by Bethesda and claimed to be a space version of The Elder Scrolls. In the game, players will be in the vast universe, in the era of the galaxy's division of the world to find their own place to live, explore the secrets of mankind. Microsoft acquired Society B, so it's normal for games to enter the XGP service.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl
Stalker 2: The Heart of Chernobyl (S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl) is a first-person shooter game developed by GSC Game World. Players will take on the role of solo stalkers and explore a lifelike open world in a 64-square-kilometer radiation area, with a variety of environments on the map that reflect the devastation of the post-apocalyptic days from different angles.
Slime Ranch 2
Slime Rancher 2 is the second installment of Slime Farm, which will inherit the fresh and cute style of the original generation and farm management and adventure action gameplay. A mysterious land full of ancient technology, new and unknown resources, and many new slime varieties is full of attraction for fans!
Sniper Elite 5
Sniper Elite 5 is a World War II shooter in which you play as a brilliant sniper and guerrilla against the enemy. The game's war graphics are spectacular, with more weapons and equipment than the previous game, such as automatic firearms, rocket launchers, and old-fashioned knives.
In addition to the above five games, there are "Redfall", "Weird West", "Warhammer 40k: Darktide", "A Plague Tale: Requiem" and other products will join the XGP service this year. Personally, I think XGP services are indeed becoming more and more fragrant, first, there are more and more high-quality games, and second, these products can be played with computers.
