Yup. It's also worth noting that it'll prevent you from playing it on Linux because you can't run most Microsoft Store apps via wine or proton. Have to buy on Steam for that, but then you lose xbox.
Kinda sucks if you're a Linux user AND have an Xbox lying around.
You can still play cheaply on Xbox with Game Pass, though, if you want to dual wield Starfield.
I did use it for a while and discovered some games I loved, but I have periods where I don't do as much gaming and at that point it'll take more months to finish a game than ((cost of game) / (cost of game pass)) so lately I prefer buying again.
Now it's been long enough since I last used game pass, I should be able to do the xbl gold to gamepass upgrade trick if it's still a thing of course.
It's about to not be a thing. They are removing XBLG, and changing it to be "Gamepass Core" so the new 4 tiers of Gamepass are as follows.
Core: 25 Gamepass Games + Online Multiplayer Console Gamepass: Full Gamepass Library, No Online Multiplayer. PC Gamepass: Full PC Gamepass Library (PC games don't need Online Multiplayer as a paid thing) Gamepass Ultimate: Full Console+PC Gamepass Library + Online Multiplayer + Cloud Gaming
