One of my favorite things aboutXbox Game Passis the ability to play annual sports games through the service without spending $70 on the game’s release. It’s a great way to keep up with sports games without breaking the bank.
However, most sports games don’t become available onGame Passuntil several months after release, normally after their corresponding season is over. That’s the case with the Madden franchise, but hey, it’s a good way to fill the off-season football void.

“I had Ultimate pretty much for one reason though, I love MLB The Show,” saidone fan. Having Ultimate meant I could play my favorite sports game on my PC through cloud gaming, which would otherwise be inaccessible, and that alone made the sub worth it. But now that they’ve removed The Show 24 and haven’t added 25 to Game Pass, I think my time subscribing is coming to an end."
Another fan agreed, saying, “Really game pass is becoming not worth keeping.. might as well just get core at this point if u have to shell out another $70 on the games you actually want.”
