Talk:Xbox Game Pass

30-day phone home

The FAQ for the service says: "Download and experience games in their full fidelity from top industry publishers and play offline for up to 30 days." Am I perhaps over-interpreting the statement as a phone-home? --McDoobAU93 20:01, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Not necessarily, but where is the FAQ? The ref goes to the announcement. Fixed, cheers. –xeno^talk 20:17, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Games list

Now that the debut catalog has appeared, a well-meaning editor started adding it to the article. Due to the nature of the catalog, I think this goes beyond the scope of the article, specifically as related to WP:IINFO. There isn't a comprehensive list of content on Netflix, because it's always changing. This, in my view, would be no different. --McDoobAU93 16:06, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

I don't see how this is any different to the EA Access list etc, but I've created a new page to link to on here if that would be more appropriate Brooza (talk) 16:26, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Answer: EA Access has stated that games, when added to the Vault, remain there. Xbox Game Pass will have a rotating catalog of games; games will be removed and re-added from time to time, just as movies are removed and re-added to Netflix. --McDoobAU93 16:30, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

I have asked for input from the WikiProject Video Games members, so hopefully we can get a good consensus on this. --McDoobAU93 12:28, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

The list of games available fails WP:NOT#CATALOG (I'd argue the same for EA Access' list.). We don't have a list of all movies that have been on Netflix, for example, for this reason. --MASEM (t) 13:18, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

I'd be okay with losing it at EA Access based on that, if you want to raise it on that page, too. --McDoobAU93 13:25, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

If lists of games are not allowed on Wikipedia, why are there so many lists (Nintendo, Playstation, Xbox etc)? There is a section in the footer of the article called "Lists of games" Brooza (talk) 16:34, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

If you mean List of Xbox 360 games, for example, that's most likely because a game doesn't get unreleased. The closest analogue to this situation is indeed Netflix, and there's no list of what's on Netflix at any given moment, although there may well be a list of original programming that Netflix has produced. Why? Again, it doesn't get unreleased. --McDoobAU93 17:03, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Xbox 360

Adding Xbox 360 as a platform through Xbox Game Pass Core. Doremon764 (talk) 21:12, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Should categories for game availability be created?

Creating a category called "Video games available on Xbox Game Pass" for currently available games, and another one called "Video games formerly on Xbox Game Pass" for games that left the service. Or create a list of current and former games on the service Draheinsunvale (talk) 21:13, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
