Have you ever caught yourself wondering just how much dough a PC gamer with a Game Pass subscription actually saves? Well, I’ve got some eye-opening news for you. The total dollar value of games added to the service in 2024 is close to hitting the $5,000 mark. Talk about a hefty amount of savings!
Jamie Hore over at PCGamesN did some digging and shared that a whopping 137 games joined the Game Pass lineup in 2024. By laying out their worth at the time of each addition, the total came to exactly $4,812.63. Now, let’s do a quick comparison: a yearly subscription to PC Game Pass sets you back approximately $143. When you stack up those numbers, the savings are crystal clear.
Now, let’s address reality for a moment. This number assumes that you’re eager enough to dive right into playing every game the minute it hits the platform. On top of that, savings kick in only for the games you actually play. For instance, if Starfield is available and saves you 30 bucks, but you’re not jumping to play it, that’s technically money left on the table for you.
However, this figure undeniably highlights the Game Pass’s value, supported by clear data. Check the PCGamesN breakdown, which paints an interesting picture of monthly savings. April stands out as a winner, with 17 new titles (five being day-one launches), while December lags slightly with just six additions, two debuted on launch day. Yet even in a quieter month like December, potential savings tallied at $214.94. Not bad, right?
So, how does this make you feel about PC Game Pass now? Do you feel more confident about signing up, or are you kicking yourself for not doing so sooner? Maybe you prefer sailing the high seas of gaming with the wind in your hair, dreams in your heart, and a just one more turn attitude?
