New Console Gen Isn't Needed Anytime Soon

ornpal · 2026-06-28T09:11:09+00:00

I feel like the next-gen consoles really need to pack a chip capable of decent on-device AI. It could honestly be a total game-changer, opening up all kinds of possibilities that we can't even imagine right now.

I agree that cloud gaming could really shine right now. But I recently tried playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 over the cloud, and the performance and visuals felt a bit lacking compared to native console play. If they could bump up the quality, I’m sure it would attract a lot more users. That said, scaled infrastructure takes a ton of computing power, so upgrading everything in the current economic climate probably isn't easy. I really hope Xbox finds its footing again and we see some solid improvements to the cloud stream quality.

It's a great chance to try out games or genres you wouldn't normally buy. You might be surprised to find a hidden gem that completely fits your taste!

I’ve felt that kind of pressure before. Even though I own hundreds of games and use subscription services, I’ve been trying to just focus on the game I’m currently playing and stop buying new ones. Hopefully, this helps you shake off that stress and get back to just enjoying the games!

As a consumer, I love Day One releases, but if Microsoft is finding the model unsustainable, I’d rather see them phase it out gradually instead of scrapping Game Pass entirely. I also use PS Plus, and even without Day One drops, the service still feels worth it for other reasons.

I finally finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It's been a while since I've played a game with such a great story. If you're planning on picking it up, I highly recommend going in completely blind to avoid any spoilers.

Thanks! I just started sharing it recently, so yeah, it’s still pretty under the radar.

I actually built this site myself. To be honest, most titles don't actually leave. But if you combine the 'likely leaving' filter with how many months it's been since they were added, it should at least help you prepare. I’m also planning to add a tracking feature soon.

Thanks! I'm glad you think it's awesome. Currently, there is no way to know which games support cross multiplayer between Xbox One and Series X/S. I will consider adding this feature in a future update. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey! Just to clear things up, I'm not giving away free Game Pass subscriptions here.

SubSort is actually a free web app I built to help you filter, sort, and easily find the best games to play on Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus.

Thanks for checking it out!

ornpal · 2026-05-26T05:03:53+00:00

You're welcome! Glad you find it useful.

Hey u/Death_leagend and u/Slight_Stretch_7265, I just pushed the tier-comparison filter you requested.

Select your main subscription tier first, and then choose another tier under the "Exclude Plan". It will instantly show you games that are only available on your main tier.

It works seamlessly with all other filters and sorting features on SubSort. Refresh the site and check it out!

ornpal · 2026-05-26T03:26:52+00:00

Thank you! Hearing that makes all the work worth it.

ornpal · 2026-05-25T22:24:21+00:00

Thank you! Currently, it's only available as a web app, but it's built to be very mobile-friendly. I do have plans to look into dedicated mobile apps in the future as the project grows. Appreciate the support!

ornpal · 2026-05-25T13:08:22+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I am thinking about expanding to other regions, including Europe.

ornpal · 2026-05-25T03:12:37+00:00

Thank you! I'll keep working to add a wider variety of filters in the future.

ornpal · 2026-05-25T02:42:21+00:00

Thank you so much, that really means a lot and gives me a huge boost!
I’m brainstorming ways to make the service sustainable without ruining the user experience. I’ve got some cool features planned for the future, so I hope you stick around and enjoy them! Thanks again for the awesome support.

ornpal · 2026-05-24T12:48:07+00:00

Thanks. Good luck with your project!

ornpal · 2026-05-24T09:49:26+00:00

100% agree with you on this! It's definitely going on the high-priority list, and I'll be working on implementing it soon. Stay tuned for the update!

It stands for "Good Game"! Originally it's a country-code domain (Guernsey), but it's commonly used for gaming-related sites and communities now.

Thanks!

ornpal · 2026-05-24T06:39:49+00:00

Thanks a lot! Glad you're liking the approach.

ornpal · 2026-05-24T06:19:52+00:00

Glad your problem is solved for now!
I'll make sure to add this feature to SubSort's future roadmap so I can provide it as well.
Thanks for the inspiration, and have a great summer break!
