Microsoft recently launched its new game streaming service, Game Pass, to much fanfare. However, the launch has been met with lukewarm consumer interest. Despite the promise of a large library of games and a low monthly fee, many gamers have yet to sign up for the service.

One of the main reasons for the lack of enthusiasm is the limited selection of games available. While Microsoft has promised a library of over 100 titles, many of these are older titles that have already been released on other platforms. This means that gamers are not getting access to the newest and most popular games.

Another issue is the lack of features available with the service. While Xbox Live Gold members can take advantage of exclusive discounts and free games, Game Pass does not offer any additional benefits. This makes it difficult for gamers to justify paying for the service when they can get the same games for free elsewhere.

Finally, there is the issue of latency. While Microsoft has promised a low-latency gaming experience, many gamers have reported that the service is still too slow for competitive gaming. This has caused some gamers to avoid the service altogether, as they do not want to risk being at a disadvantage due to lag.

Despite these issues, Microsoft is still hopeful that Game Pass will be successful. The company is continuing to add new titles to the library and is working on improving the latency issues. If Microsoft can address these issues, then Game Pass could become a viable alternative to traditional gaming platforms. Until then, however, it seems that consumer interest in the service will remain low.
