Darn. I have Ultimate, and I love it. But MSFT were clearly leaving money on the table to drive adoption, and it's clearly worked. Still a great deal overall, but marginally less so now.

Even then, it's a fantastic service - I don't have to buy individual games anymore.

And the curation is good. MS picks good games, including AAs and indies.

They really do. They've taken a whack for some of the recent games they've put out, and the pressure is on for them to deliver with the likes of Starfield and a continuation of Halo Infinite.

But overall, the service is fantasic. I get Forza, Halo, Madden, FIFA, a ton of indies, old Xbox and Xbox360 titles, and more all with a kickass multiplayer service across all games for $11-17 bucks a month. In the advent of $70 games, that's a great deal.

Long may it continue. I really like MSFT's strategy in the gaming sector, and while I hope the Activision acquisition goes through, I have a feeling MSFT will be quite well off if the deal is off.
