I'm on game pass. It came for two years with the console and also you can get it for.free by doing Microsoft rewards consistently.

It's pretty great and, having had my Xbox for over a year, I haven't bought a single game. In that time I've completed probably 8 AA or AAA games, tried a lot more and also played many many smaller games.

A year's game pass is about 160. So 8 big games (assuming a huge discount to roughly 20) would be about the same price and I've been able to dip into many many more games in that time.

Genuinely, think for many people Game pass is a great option (especially if you are happy to.kiss out or wait for some games)
