I'm thinking I will, but on the other hand I already own all the Ubisoft games I've wanted and there are only two upcoming that I care about. I do like the feature of getting access to DLC and expansions as part of the subscription.

These services are too expensive for me. The only one I ever got to try was the EA one. My wife got it for me in DEC. I played Mass Effect Andromeda and finished it. I then cancelled it even before she passed.

I cancelled my EA one after getting burnt out on Anthem and Battlefield. It was a good deal for when I was subbed though, I'm just better about cancelling when not playing now. I still have my MS gamepass going as it is the best deal in gaming.

This one looks pretty solid seeing as I haven't bought or played Division 2 or Farcy 5/New Dawn. That's about $80 worth of gaming if all bought on sale so no reason not go for the free month at least.

I am pretty sure I have purchased and completed everything I care about in ubisoft's library so no point for me.

I think I kept gamepass for about 4 days. Looking at the list available on PC I could get some use out of it, but for some reason the idea of picking from a limited library bothers me. I am not an experimental gamer. I know what I want to play and there is enough of that to fill up my gaming time. I am unlikely to try anything unknown making these sub services less valuable to me.

Should have clarified.

Gamepass for Xbox is the best deal in gaming :).

Yep if you have an Xbox, Game Pass is awesome. Saved me so much money because I never finish these games anyway and I always have something new to try.
