PC Game Pass Adds Nearly $5,000 Worth of New Games in 2024

Have you ever caught yourself wondering just how much cash a PC gamer with a Game Pass membership really saves? Well, prepare for a bit of sticker shock, because in 2024 alone, the value of games added to the service tallied up to just shy of $5,000.

Jamie Hore over at PCGamesN did some number crunching by listing all 137 titles added to the Game Pass service in 2024. By calculating their worth at the time they joined the lineup, he found that the total hit a grand $4,812.63. To put that in perspective, a full year’s subscription to PC Game Pass costs around $143. That’s a hefty chunk of change left in the bank!

Now, let’s be real; there are some conditions here. This total assumes you—the eager PC Game Pass subscriber—are grabbing every available game as soon as it hits the service. And of course, it’s important to remember you only save on what you actually play or want to play. Personally, even if Starfield was discounted to save me $30, I’d still need some convincing to dive in.

Nevertheless, these numbers spotlight the undeniable saving prowess of Game Pass, and it’s all backed by solid data. It’s fascinating to observe how much you could potentially save each month, as detailed in Hore’s article on PCGamesN. For instance, April was a standout month, boasting 17 new titles, five of which were available from day one. December, by contrast, was a bit quieter with just six new titles, two being day-one releases. Yet, even in a less exciting month like December, the potential savings still racked up to $214.94—not too shabby!

Does this new info sway your thoughts on the PC Game Pass? Are you feeling a bit more inclined to subscribe, or perhaps you’re kicking yourself for not doing so already? Or maybe you’re a free spirit, sailing under the pirate flag with not a worry, just the breeze in your hair and dreams of adventure.
