According to Mat Piscatella (NPD/Circana) Gaming Subscriptions have stalled

Yeah but it's the option to dabble in some shyt that'll get em. If they could get the major annual franchises to release their games on gamepass every year when they first release it'd be a big draw. Like 2k and Madden and call of duty every year on there on release. Thats really why Microsoft bought Activision so they could get the call of duty people subscribing to gamepass.
If they bought 2k games too its over

Thats definitely the thinking behind it but we’ll see… if someone mostly plays one F2P game or just 2k or FIFA year round i don’t see why paying 180 dollars a year would be compelling

Because both those games cost $140 on release add in one more $70 annual release on there and they'd actually be saving money
