6 months ago, I got the PS4 disc of Persona 5 Royal (P5R for short), played it for a short while and then put it on hold. On October 21, 2022, P5R logged in to all platforms, and The PS4 disc cannot be upgraded to the PS5 version. In order to enjoy better picture quality and frame rate at a low price, I opened Microsoft’s Xbox Premium Member Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (referred to as XGPU or XGP=Watermelon Peel)
The price of XGP is very cheap. It is about 10 yuan a month if you find a merchant to charge it (the RMB has depreciated a bit recently, and the price is higher). For those who have overseas bank cards, it can be reduced to 8 yuan a month.
As a Steam user for many years, I have a question, what are the disadvantages of XGP compared to Steam in China?
In terms of game client ; on the CPU of x86 architecture, the Xbox client with XGP enabled and the Steam installed game perform well. After all, XGP is Microsoft’s own son, so there will be no problems that dependencies cannot be installed and the game cannot run, but On the CPU of the MacBook M1 Win11 virtual machine arm architecture, the Xbox client with XGP turned on is more subtle. The sidebar only displays the Community (community) , and does not display the game market, which means that no games can be installed…
Steam can also successfully install and run games on an arm-based CPU virtual machine.
In terms of the regional game market ; the Steam account has a specific region of ownership. If you want to buy low-cost games in Argentina, you can use mailbox A to open an account in Argentina under the Argentine IP. Similarly, if you want to buy games in Turkey For low-cost games, just use mailbox B to open an account in Argentina under the Turkish IP. But Xbox’s XGP membership is amazing. If your Windows system is China, you won’t be able to see many games at all. If you change the Windows system’s Region Region to Hong Kong SAR, restart Xbox.exe , There are more games in the game market, and P5R can be downloaded.
In terms of game downloads ; in the magical network environment of the mainland, the speed of downloading games from Steam is very random, and the speed of downloading games from Microsoft servers can run up to the full bandwidth. After all, xbox.com is on record, and now there are dozens of games moving. G, downloading games at full speed is also part of an excellent user experience.
In terms of hardware game experience ; both Steam and xbox.exe run on Windows (Steam Deck runs in Linux environment, but is not compatible with all games at present), the best wireless controller with Windows compatibility is still the Xbox controller with the official controller Bluetooth adapters, even for a full-platform game like Nier Mechanical Age, as long as it runs on Windows, there is basically only one key position for the Xbox handle. Although Steam has a Steam Controller handle, the shipment volume is still too small. Many classic emulators do not support the Steam Controller handle at all without the Steam client. From the information provided by the Steam Controller official page, the Steam Controller support for macOS has been A lot of versions lag (from deep frustration for macOS users).
In terms of the game social account system , the mods of the old buddies in the Steam workshop are extremely exciting. There is basically nothing interesting in the Microsoft community, and it is currently just a boring social tool; but Microsoft’s account system is richer than Steam, as long as you To use Windows or Office, it is inevitable to register a Microsoft account. In addition, Microsoft also bought Github. In theory, as long as Microsoft wants to do it, the Github account system can also be a part of the Microsoft account system. Microsoft’s account system is and With Xbox interoperability, all Microsoft users can be your Xbox friends; in mainland China, out of 1,000 people, only 2 people can add Steam friends to each other, and 10 people can add Xbox friends to each other.
