Just Bought Xbox Series S

If you've never played RDR2 then it's a no brainer.

I like football and baseball. Used to love Halo but my old Halo buddies from HS tell me to not waste my money on the newest one. I’ve played COD in the past. I like a mix really. I just remember being obsessed with RDR which is why I mentioned RDR2.

It open world Halo. Story sucks but the combat is as good as ever. Multiplayer is pretty solid now. RDR2 takes a while to get going. TBH it took about 10 hours in before everything clicked for me and the story picks up and then I really enjoyed the rest. Loved the first one as well. If you like action RPGs Cyberpunk 2077 is great now especially the Phantom Liberty DLC

You can play it for as long as it stays on game pass

How long do games typically stay on game pass?

I think the contracts are all for at least 1 year

Mostly, except RockStar.

They usually give you a heads up before the game leaves the service and give you the option to buy it at a discount. It also stays on your hard drive you just can't access it once it leaves the service unless you purchase it. All .Microsoft 1st party games {except Forza due to lic issues) Bethesda and soon Activision will be on there indefinitely. Most of the EA titles stay on there for years as wel.

Speaking of EA....another sleeper hit is Titanfall 2. If you like shooters like CoD it's fun and different.

The back catalog of games available for $2 (Time Pilot, anyone??) You can get the packs of Capcom games cheaply from the 80s and 90s. But I suck at video games, so I have low standards. But cheap is low risk.
