Stop buying Steam games that are already on Game Pass — I found an extension that does the work for you

Gamers often face the issue of purchasing the same game multiple times across different platforms like Steam, GOG, Epic, Ubisoft, and EA, especially with services like PC Game Pass offering a rotating selection of games. During the Steam Summer Sale from June 26 to July 10, many gamers bought discounted titles only to find they were already available on Game Pass. To address this, a browser extension called Is It On Game Pass was created by Reddit user Orion_DEIL. This extension works with Firefox, Chrome, and Edge, displaying indicators on Steam game listings to show if a game is available on Game Pass, upcoming, or leaving the service. It also highlights better pricing options at GG.deals. Users can customize the indicators and set their region for a personalized experience. Installation is straightforward, and while an alternative exists through the PC Game Pass curator page on Steam, the extension offers more convenience.

Gamers, let’s not pretend PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass multiplayer subscriptions are okay – they’re exactly why PC gaming is arguably cheaper in the long term

Transitioning from console gaming to PC gaming involves challenges such as file management and technical adjustments, but it offers benefits like no multiplayer subscription fees. Console gamers often need to subscribe to services like Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus for online play, with exceptions for free-to-play games. While gaming PC hardware is more expensive initially, the long-term costs of playing games are lower due to access to affordable titles and frequent discounts on platforms like the Epic Games Store and Steam. In contrast, PlayStation games often retain their retail prices longer, limiting discount availability. The basic PS Plus plan costs .99 annually, similar to the price of a new game, while the 'Premium' plan costs 9.99 and lacks day-one title access. Xbox Game Pass offers better value with new games available on release day. Overall, while the initial investment in a gaming PC is high, the savings on games and lack of subscription fees make it a worthwhile choice.
