  I can’t imagine waiting in a queue to play a single player game.

    Yeah that’s pretty wild. Guess these will be the hiccups before Cloud Gaming really becomes mainstream.

    The input lag alone is a dealbreaker for me. After I bought my handheld I’ve stopped using it all together

  Having a queue to play a single player game is more and more common each year. Most recently with Diablo 4 DRM. 😪

  As for Game Pass having a longer queue might be a good thing for the future of Game Pass in general. More people using the service. 🤔 maybe…

    Other situations:

    • You’re on a mobile device, with a controller
    • You’re on a Steam Deck and wanted to play a Game Pass game
    • You heard of a cool game but you don’t want to download its 80 GB when you don’t know if you’ll like it
    • You want to complete a game pass quest, which means playing a game for 30 minutes then uninstalling it

  I cancelled my Xbox ultimate subscription because of the latest price increase. Eur 12,99 to Eur 14,99. Just no.

  Cheaper to buy the games.

    … that really depends a lot on your habits
