Gears 5, Outer Worlds, Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2.
Will play Ori next, and then probably Minecraft Dungeons, Gears: Tactics, Grounded and Tell me Why.
I stopped buying Microsoft games. I would have bought some day one (Gears 5), others later (Outer Worlds), and I probably would have never played others. So... The service IS doing exactly what it should be doing.

None really. I should say I only had a free 3 month Game Pass. I tried Gears 5 and Forza Horizon 4 only for the express purpose of testing my new C9 TV, the hour I played of Gears 5 was incredibly insipid to me, I hated it. Forza Horizon 4 is a racing game, so that's not for me at all. I bought Outer Worlds on PS4 already and the rest don't interest me. I hardly played anything on Game Pass to be honest, just tried out some games here and there, but nothing I put any serious time in.
FH4, Gears, TOW. I bought SOD2. Played a little of CD3 and SOT but not much...maybe a few hours of each if that.
State of Decay 2 was the entire reason I tried it (before Game Pass for PC existed, even). Dabbled with FH4 and played half of The Outer Worlds too.
No interest in GEAR5 or Sea of Thieves, and the act of downloading Crackdown 3 is more commitment than I'm willing to make for that game.

I've played all of the poll choices plus Ori except Gears 5, out of them I only completed Outer World's and Ori. I like Gamepass a lot but most things I download I either don't really care for or just don't feel like playing all the way. Like Forza was really fun to just drive around in but I did not do well in the racing lol.
Lol second the game actually started I noped out pretty quick as well.
I skipped most of 360 and all this Xbox gen until last summer when I got an used one S with game pass. I ended up trading the one (S) for a new X and it's my main console now. I've been playing Quantum Break, MCC (CE and 2, will continue), Gears UE until Judgment, will play 4 and 5 soon, a bit of FH4, dropped SoT (crap for single player and crap overall really), Sunset, Record (didn't really like those), and trying out some 360 and original Xbox games. Started The Outer Worlds but left it for later. Overall I can see why I haven't been interested in MS exclusives all this time apart from Alan Wake and Quantum Break. Gears is fun though as is Halo. I think exclusives will become more interesting though.
Of course apart from first party there's plenty to love on game pass.

Everything but State of Decay 2 because I bought that. This is the reason to get gamepass. All the other games are just icing on top.
While MS first-party will be better next gen, they did have some interesting titles this gen. Some were rushed but interesting (Recore), others have so much potential but also flaws (Ryse), there are the underrated one's (Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive) and the critically acclaimed titles (Ori, Cuphead, Forza Horizon, Gears, Halo 5). I did play most of these on Game Pass, though I had bought some select titles before the service had launched.
Still want to play more of Sea of Thieves, Halo MCC and try State of Decay some day. I'm not interested in Forza Motorsport. Looking forward the most to Halo Infinite, Wasteland 3, Minecraft Dungeons, Everwild, Hellblade 2 and Ori 2 right now.

Beat Gears 5, Forza Horizon 4 and The Outer Worlds.
Played some Crackdown 3
Gears and TOW would have been day-1 purchases for me so I'm glad for game pass

Just Outer Worlds and that's kind of an edge case. Their offerings haven't interested me but I'm curious what they'll do next-gen.
Halo: MCC I'll play at some point.

Im kind of ashamed to say I haven't played the outer wilds yet. Played the hell out of everything elder.
Im currently knee deep in State of Decay 2, but Ori is going to interrupt the zombie apocalypse in a major way.
State of Decay is SOOO good. I can think of 1 million QoL improvements I'd add fo the game, but I love it, jank and all

All of them then if one goes on sale and I enjoyed it I buy it when I can afford it same goes for non 1st party which I try a lot of as well

Played them all, but I had actually preordered and bought Sea of Thieves. I had Gamepass at the time too. It was just a game worth spending the money on, and still is.
I played Crackdown 3 and Sea of Thieves before the game pass for PC officially launched and you could just do some games through the windows store, but i've played all of them except for state of decay 2
Crackdown 3. Gears 5, too, technically, but only to update the PC perf. thread, as I waiting for the Steam version to unlock before actually playing it.
all of them except halo, but even thought about it since it had a reward attached (but the reward was for 50 kills in MP so fuck that)
sadly thats how i ended up playing crackdown 3 and now i will never have happiness in my life again

played through the full gears series minus judgement and its now one of my favourite series.
state of decay 2, really liked it but the night sections were to dark and it sort of got annoying so i dropped it.
outer worlds played it loved it cant wait to play more whether its dlc or a sequel.

I'm playing Wasteland Remastered currently, actually, but I think it's the only one that fits the bill. I'll probably be playing Ori 2 - if that counts - sometime soon.
I did buy into FH4 before I got Gamepass; I see little reason to not expect that I'll be playing FH5 on GamePass... if my sub remains that long ( I'm on a throwback kick across the whole series - both Horizon and Motorsport - so I won't be needing new Forza for quite some time!)

Gears, forza and crackdown. Dropped them all a couple hours in. Might not have even made it two hours into crackdown.
