    The data suggests some gamers are partially treating the service to trial or even rent a game they might be interested in, before unsubscribing.

    This is me. I often subscribe when there’s a discount, go through some games I’m not interested in buying but want to play anyways. Xbox game pass specifically has a lot of great indies that can be finished relatively quickly.

    I subscribed earlier this year for a month, might resubscribe for a month again later this year.

      Same here. Game pass is a pretty good deal even at full price for playing AAA single player games that you won’t touch after a single play through. Plus, there’s a lot of games that I wouldn’t have given a shot if I didn’t happen to have Game Pass at the time.
