ACDL has recently started subscribing to gamepass for our XBox Series X
consoles. For us it was a simple way to maximize the consoles quickly.
We're buying the subscriptions via the game codes purchased at Walmart, as
that's the only way we can get it tax free. We have a subscription for each
console so no cross building coordination is necessary and to facilitate
players in one building playing with the other. We don't currently see a
lot of that, BUT we haven't had it for long and didn't want to close the
door on the possibility regardless. Our consoles in Geneva get the most use
and there it has been quite successful. We're trying to get the word out.
I'm told it's a big selling point when the kids are made aware.
