It's actually pretty crazy that you can experience them for about $10 (it used to be $5 before a recent price hike), along with a dozen other games if you can manage to finish them all in 30 days. But it happens, and this is the reason why some of us like having the game in our library forever.Ī lot of games from Steam are finding their way to Xbox Game Pass (on PC & Console right on day one of their release. So, if you subscribed to play a particular game, and then it gets taken off the list, yeah that's not going to be nice. Every month or so, new games are added to the service, and sometimes old games get removed. The important thing here is that these services don't offer access to the same games permanently. That's actually a smart thing to do, and if I really wanted to play a specific game, I'd do that too. On the other hand, gamers who have access to these game subscriptions tend to enjoy new games for a fraction of the game's cost.
I belong to that group for the most part, and my massive backlog helps me with that. Many people wait for a discount to drop before buying new games, and this can take anywhere between a few months to a couple of years or more. I've seen people who don't normally play games, suddenly get an itch to try out a few games, and then go back to being a non-gamer. I prefer buying games digitally, or have the physical copy for my PS4, because I can play the game anytime I want to. Last June, Microsoft’s Panos Panay said Valve would be “very welcome” on the marketplace.Let's take a look at why this could be important for gamers. For what it's worth, Microsoft has also expressed an interest in getting Steam onto the Windows 11 app store. It's worth noting, as The Verge points out, not every EA Play tier is available through the marketplace, and Valve's 30 percent cut of sales could be a contentious issue in any negotiations between itself and Microsoft. In the summer of 2020, publisher Electronic Arts made EA Play, its subscription service, available on Steam. While PC Game Pass may never come to Steam there’s at least precedent for Microsoft to follow. “If your customers want it, then you should figure out how to make it happen. “We’ve talked to people there quite a bit about that topic,” he said. Newell’s subsequent comments suggest PC Game Pass won’t come to Steam anytime soon, but that the two companies have had discussions about the possibility.
“But for their customers it’s clearly a popular option, and we’d be more than happy to work with them to get that on Steam.” “I don’t think it’s something that we think we need to do ourselves, building a subscription service at this time,” Valve CEO Gabe Newell told PC Gamer in a recent interview. Valve says it’s willing to work with Microsoft to bring PC Game Pass to Steam.
