You don't actually own the games on gamepass, you're just renting them, so you should be able to play them.

To follow up on what Cojawfee said, there is a distinct difference between paying to access games and paying a monthly fee to get games that you still own if you stop paying! Play the games on Game Pass to your heart's content, but keep hoarding those monthly games from Amazon Prime Gaming and don't even look them in the eye.

Well.

If you have Gamepass Ultimate, you've got access to a 10 hour trial of Grid Legends. After a hassle of tying your account to the EA Play application.

And also the game -- despite looking very good -- isn't very good

It even says "march 8 to 15" so it's more like a 7-day "free weekend" than actually getting a free game.

Note - if you bought either the racial justice bundle on itch.io, or the palestinian justice one, you already own Celeste there.

*Xenonauts
*Shadowrun Returns

Now listen to me children and I'll tell you of the legend of the Ninja
Xenonauts is the best take on high granularity time unit based tactics combat I've seen, narrowly beating Jagged Alliance 2. (imo, I won't blame anyone taking the other side)

It has a wide spread of guns, equipment and tactics, and deploying them smartly and adapting to the terrain actually matters. There's a Xenonauts 2 in the works, I have high hopes. I think that style of game is still open for an innovation of some kind that makes the Time Unit Shuffle more fluid. I'm sure someone can figure out something that isn't just "let's actually not have Time Units".

Huh. Saw a post this morning from a usually reliable place saying that next week would be Centipede: Recharged and Black Widow: Recharged (both are Geometry Wars style shooters). I wonder if there was a last minute change then. Hopefully they get these added back in or they appear soon.

They've been added back, so this week you can get actual games to not play rather than just currency to not use.

Next week is Cities:Skylines, which is probably the best city sim to not play.


e. Also Epic's library interface has taken a step back: your library is now on multiple pages that require you to click through rather than infinite scrolling, and games that aren't installed are no longer greyed out or ordered differently.

there's a button at the top to filter just to installed games, and a button at the bottom to change it from just displaying 24 games to 36, 48, or all of them

I didn't like the greyscale covers. It made it harder to skim through your library, at least ime.

it's not new

the per page grid made me realize just how many games they've given away. I have 6 pages of games with 48 per page (okay the last page has just a few titles, but still).

also, installing still doesn't tell you how much space a game takes up.
