Hey

I am asking as I saw Quake on Xbox one but to buy it says Xbox game pass needed.

Is Xbox game pass worth it for the download?

Do I have to temporarily get Xbox game pass then get this game?

Quake was one of my biggest passions back in the days of gaming.

You only get the game for as long as you're paying for a subscription - so you can't just buy 1 month and then expect to keep playing the games afterwards.

Just look at the game list to know if you think its worth it or not.

Hi

The download code is available to buy on Amazon

Will this mean I still need a subscription to play it?

Quake download code from Amazon? Probably not then.

Unless you mean Game pass download on Amazon - then it'll just give you a few months for whatever you paid.

You can Google xbox game pass codes. I pay £3 a month for game pass but you have to remember to cancel subscription every month. Even at £10 a month its absolutely worth it. I'm playing fallout 76 atm and world of tanks

I don't use Xbox, but I used to buy a 12-month PS Plus for a lot cheaper than it would have cost, is this something that can be done for Xbox pass also?

Yea I use game pass.

I like it. I pay a little extra to have the pc version as well think it's like £11 a month and gives me Xbox console game pass and pc game pass also tho you can buy them separate.

I share my game pass with the 2 kids (one on Xbox, one on pc). Only issue is if you try to play the same game on same console at same time sharing the same game pass but a all downside to have 3 people having game pass for £11

Is it worth it? Yes and no. Yes if you find games that interest you on it and haven't sub to it before could get £100s worth of games for a £10er. However once you have played them all probably best to unsub until their library refreshes a bit

The Xbox game pass is unmatched, honestly, it's brilliant. The PC Game Pass is £7.99 pm but it's worth the money. There's so many great games on there you'll get your money's worth.

Deffo worth it for me, getting the EA pass with game pass, is also a bonus, if you like ea games (different for everyone I know).

I didn't think anyone with an xbox wouldn't have gamepass :D

I actually paid less than £100 for 3 years worth of gamepass. Make sure you don't have gamepass (so if you currently have you need to wait for it to expire)

Buy 3 years worth of xbox live (you can't stack longer than that) I think i bought the brazilian version and used a VPN to brazil to activate it. Once you have 3 years of xbox live active on your account, pay for 1 month of gamepass ultimate. It will transfer your entire xbox live subscription for 3 years into gamepass ultimate.

If that's been fixed, it's only been in the past couple of months, I renewed in about June/July.
I read something a few weeks ago about something like this being fixed. And also the people who did it got the membership back to what should of been. Not entirely sure though as didn't read the whole article
