@XandertheWise Wouldn't that be the reason to release it around that time, though? It's Star Wars, and as long as you can market something relating to the franchise around the time of a big new media release, you'll be sure to have people checking it out just from the advertising algorithms making sure people see it.

I don't think Gamepass is ever coming to Switch, and I think Microsoft knows that.

Quick question: why have people been asking for Gamepass to come to Switch? The Switch wouldn't be able to run Xbox games on it, surely? And it's not like it's a cloud service either where you could have them run on something else if I'm not mistaken. It just seems like something entirely out of the question from the offset personally. I will gladly eat my words if someone here can explain how Gamepass could even work on the Switch.

@Fizza Much like how GamePass on PC has a seperate games list, so would GamePass on Switch. It's be the games on there that are also on Switch, plus some others.

Also it could use streaming, as that is part of a GamePass subscription

Now Playing: Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Crash Bandicoot 4

Now Streaming: Sonic Lost World, Just Cause 3

We don't know "how much" Microsoft wants Gamepass on Switch. All we know is they want it on every platform. Obviously, why wouldn't they.

But Nintendo doesn't want it, and neither does Sony. Nomatter what your opinions are on the side effects, or others opinion, it's clear that the professional business experts at Nintendo and Sony don't see it as being a net benefit. Otherwise they would have done it already.

So ya, it's clear it will never happen- I'm not really sure why people keep talking about it, refusing to let it go.

@JaxonH They won't stop trying though, that's for sure.

Some peoples are cheapskater.
They want a lot of games with very very cheap prices (or for free) added with mindset of not interested to collect physical media, they really want Gamepass so bad.
I personally never like Gamepass as it just only renting the games with subscription, not owning the games. And I don't want got tons of games with some of them I really hate for free by subscription.
And I never like the idea for future gaming like that, it was the dumbest idea ever in my opinion.

@Anti-Matter I once used gamepass to test to see if i liked a game... I did like the game then i bought it on switch

(it's a good tool for testing games to see if you like them in my opinion)

Ideas aren't "dumb" based on whether you're personally interested or not.

Plenty of ppl have no interest in owning games, and only care about the experience playing them. Just like people who rent movies. They don't want some massive DVD collection, they just want to watch a movie and move on to the next. There's nothing dumb about that. It might not be your preference, but it is the preference of millions of gamers, and that's the market it caters to. So on the contrary, it's not dumb, it's incredibly smart.

The way you've labeled and categorized those who are interested in the service as "cheapskates" shows your disgust toward anyone who doesn't share your views. There are certainly cheapskates out there, no question, but it's wrong to apply that label across the board toward everyone interested in Gamepass. And that's a story all too common nowadays. Demonize and caricaturize anyone with different views (under the pretense your view is absolutely correct, of course) to make it easier to justify hate toward them, because that's far easier than understanding their perspective with empathy and reassessing your own beliefs.

@TommyTendo Physical renting stores are fewer, but it's still possible. There's a few sites around that allow it, and any digital storefront allows it as an option. Don't forget, not every movie is going to be on streaming services, so there's still a place for renting.

@TommyTendo I have rented a few digital movies when they are super cheap (~ 1 €) and they aren't available in the usual subscription services.

@TommyTendo I don’t know about all the people in the world but we still rent when they are not available on the other major streaming services.

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

@TommyTendo
Physical rentals are now rare. But digital rentals are prevalent.

Streaming subscription services are also a form of rental similar to Gamepass, as it provides access for a lower fee than it would cost for full ownership.
