It still is lol. Consoles clearly aren’t going to be the future soon. Going to PC now 😂 seems like they stay winning over there.

I’m definitely not paying for it anymore. The only time I see it working is if 2 or 3 games come out in that month and you only pay $30. With the current games being underwhelming, I’m now very selective and waiting for sales. GTA 6 is the only game I buying in 2026 lol

I think they’ll probably use emulation for back compat. If they get it to work good on pc then that might just be the best we can get but I’m here for it!

You have me eating well with gamepass and the best controllers out there 🫡🎮💚

Pixellenium 👾 @pixellenium.bsky.social · Jun 18

What’s fascinating is that You could essentially get the Xbox handheld and play the PS5/6 PC releases on their from steam lol which is wild to say unless Sony actually try and block that

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen confirmation from those who got to test it confirmed steam GOG and epic storefronts will be on the device. I guess we won’t really know until later this year when they give more details and price

I see many People complaining about Outerworlds 2 being $80 but you can just sub to GP play for it that month then cancel if you want. That’s going to be the choice now. And you don’t need a console to play it. I don’t like that its $80 but you have options.

Pixellenium 👾 @pixellenium.bsky.social · Jun 17

I love the value gamepass has. I sub for the month(s) when the big games come out. If I feel like it’s worth playing again I’ll buy when they go on sale for $20 & under. I rarely replay games now. I want the new handheld so I prob won’t buy games for a while. Most games to me aren’t worth $60-90
