Have you ever paused to consider just how much cash a PC gamer with a PC Game Pass subscription might actually save? I know I have. Well, the answer is pretty impressive. In 2024, the value of games added to the service came close to a staggering $5,000.
This discovery was made by Jamie Hore at PCGamesN, who dug into the data for all 137 titles introduced to the service in 2024. By tallying up their dollar value at the point they were added, Jamie determined that the total is $4,812.63. To put that into perspective, a full year’s subscription to PC Game Pass costs about $143. That’s a significant amount of money left in your wallet.
Of course, we need to keep things realistic here. This eye-catching figure assumes you’re diving into every single game as it hits the service. And let’s be real—you only save on games you actually intend to play. Personally, even if I knew playing Starfield could save me $30, I’d probably still need a bigger push to dive into it.
Nonetheless, this highlights just how much you can potentially save with Game Pass, and it’s all backed by solid data. It’s fascinating to see the savings laid out month-by-month in the PCGamesN article. For instance, April was a standout with 17 games added, five of which were available from day one. In contrast, December saw only six new games, but still managed a potential saving of $214.94. Not too shabby, even for a slower month!
Now, does this change how you feel about PC Game Pass? Are you more tempted to subscribe, or do you regret not jumping on board sooner? Or maybe you’re someone who still prefers sailing the high seas for your gaming fix? Share your thoughts with us below!
