As many of you probably know, Sea of Thieves will be included in the Xbox $9.99 Game Pass monthly subscription and today it was announced that all Microsoft Studio games will be available to game pass members at launch including SOT as part of their Subscription. I pre-ordered the physical copy on Amazon and already got beta access and the black dog pack but I don't know if I want to keep my pre-order because I don't ever plan on canceling my game pass subscription therefore making shelling out $60 useless. What do you think? Source: https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/23/16922558/microsoft-xbox-game-pass-subscription-future-games-microsoft-studios
I already have Xbox Game Pass, why buy SOT?
@gintoki45 All new microsoft studios games will be going up on game pass. It is to get more people to use it.
Well, that is good news, right? More people will be able to try it during a period of time and decided if to buy it or not for less price.
You guys know the game pass games are just temporal, right? Like one month is there, next month is not.Somebody already explain me, it is always there for you!!! GEEZES! I got it yesterday! I am waiting for those big games now!@blinxesp said in I already have Xbox Game Pass, why buy SOT?:

You guys know the game pass games are just temporal, right? Like one month is there, next month is not.I have not seen them do that except for a very few select games this month.
Sounds like you don't need the physical copy, but for me I mainly play games on steam and even if I do play xbox its not very often so the game pass would be a waste for me. So I pre-ordered it. And this game is going to be for pc and xbox so for people who play pc mainly they may not have the game pass.
@blinxesp He can always buy the game if it does get removed. By then there would probably be sales for it.
@fireskull757 it is great this thing of cross to play, seriously. Community can stay together, I play on Xbox and the alpha was great with the PC players together.

You guys know the game pass games are just temporal, right? Like one month is there, next month is not.Actually games pass games are not even slightly temporary. Once a game is added to the library it is there permanently, as long as you keep your subscription up to date you get to keep playing the entire library just like you own them, just download and play.
@lord-sphinktus
They have deleted games. None of the games on game pass are permenant. A quick google search will clear this up.@nwo-azcrack So why am I allowed to play games my son has on game pass when I don't have a game pass myself?
@nwo-azcrack So in a sense it is per console as I have also noticed it works with Xbox play anywhere titles my son has bought too, which I can download and play on PC too.
@davejc64 Suppose that your son has a game on his account and you want to play with him (You on PC and he on xbox).
You set the Xbox as his Xbox Home (his account), doing so every account on the xbox can play your son's catalog. So if you access on pc with your son's account and he play with another account on xbox, you can play same or different game of this catalog (on pc only the Play Anywhere games)
This works for gold and pass too@davejc64 on pcyou need to sign ingo the store with the MS account that has the subscription, this can be different to the account used to sign into the pc itself.

@jimmy-voorhees
No they haven't said they will be permanent!
They said that games will cycle in & out of Gamepass. SOT could be removed in a month, no one knows!!not true. ALL MS studio games will be added at release date and are permanent. its non ms games that will cycle.
