Xbox

I definitely wasn’t vibing with Need for Speed Unbound enough to buy it, but I’m more than happy to give it a play on Game Pass. This is one of the things I really like about Game Pass, as well as getting big-hitter first party games like Forza Motorsport and Starfield, it also offers an outlet to just check out games you otherwise might not have bothered with, but can probably still get some enjoyment out of. It’s really given a resurgence to the like B-tier of games that had way more prominence in like the PS2 era. Not everything needs to be a slam dunk great to be enjoyable, but with the high cost of new games now it can be difficult to justify the price for those that aren’t. Just passively getting access to them as part of a subscription really fixes that issue.
