Personally, I am more excited to have Xbox Game Pass on PC so I can play Metro Exodus without having to buy the game outright. Microsoft is working on adding more games soon, but until then, there are plenty of games to keep you busy. Metro Exodus, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, ARK: Survival Evolved, and Imperator: Rome are just a few of the featured games you can play on Xbox Game Pass for PC right now. It is a no-brainer for me as I play Xbox games on Xbox One and Windows 10, so I get the best of both worlds with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Once I upgraded to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, I don’t have to make a new payment for Ultimate until October 18, 2019. For example, on October 18, 2018, I prepaid for Xbox Live Gold for one year.
