I'm not sure, I mainly use it for strategy games that are hard to play with a controller (although you can get Crusader Kings on XBOX apparently..) but even on stuff like Age of Empires 4 it struggles.
I also didn't have a console before, so that didn't affect my choice. I think if you had an Xbox One or a PS4 it was a lot easier to stay in the respective ecosystem due to digital copies of games etc.
Yeah, hopefully there are more varied ways to play.
It's going to be on Game Pass day one anyways so I'll definitely check it out.
