![]() ![]() Services like PlayStation Now begin to look stuffier and stuffier with each move Microsoft makes. Regardless of whether or not Xbox's mounting value can truly draw non-Xbox players away from their platforms of choice, Microsoft wins an optical victory. Already, from Cyber Shadow to Outriders, Xbox is poaching key 2021 releases through Game Pass that both add value to Xbox and highlight the shortcomings of its competitors. Bearing all these elements in mind, playing on Xbox is incredibly compelling.Įven if a gamer doesn't have access to an Xbox, as Microsoft keeps making deals like Outriders, the overall value of the system will be too great to overlook.
