Ever wondered how much cash a PC gamer with a PC Game Pass subscription can actually save? If you’re like me, you might be curious about the numbers. Well, it’s an impressive amount, with the total value of games added to the service in 2024 reaching just under $5,000.
Jamie Hore over at PCGamesN did some sleuthing and uncovered that by tallying up all 137 games introduced to the service this year, their combined value at the time of addition was a hefty $4,812.63. It’s worth noting that a year’s subscription to PC Game Pass costs about $143. That’s quite a chunk of change saved!
Now, naturally, there are a few caveats. This assumes you, as a devoted PC Game Pass user, are diving into every new title as it becomes available. Plus, saving money is only meaningful for the games you actually play. Personally, I might save $30 by playing Starfield, but they’d have to offer me a good deal more for it to catch my interest.
Nonetheless, Game Pass’s ability to help gamers save is undeniable, especially when backed by such compelling data. We can explore just how much we could save month-to-month in the PCGamesN article. April seemed like a jackpot with 17 games introduced, five of which were day-one releases. Conversely, December was a bit of a downer with just six new games, two debuting day-one. Even in the slower months like December, potential savings hit $214.94. That’s nothing to sneeze at!
So how do you feel about PC Game Pass now? Does it make you more inclined to subscribe, or kicking yourself for not hopping on board last year? Or perhaps you’re a pirate at heart, uninterested in anything but the allure of the open seas? Share your thoughts below!
