While Google’s Play Pass always seems to offer at least the $4.99 in value that they charge you each month, we can’t help but feel it is aiming to do just that and no more. For the month of June, Google adds only a few games to the lineup valued at only $9. To make matters worse, their Play Store notification shows that exactly half of your items for the month are last month’s free games. What is going on here, Google?
They have no responsibility to provide more value than what you pay for, that’s true, but Google has millions of games to pull from to bolster the Play Pass service’s value proposition to prospective customers. These days, companies need to work to provide immense value in order to draw your attention which everyone is vying for. If they want to show how interesting and exciting Play Pass can be, especially with Apple Arcade on the market, they need to consider tossing in a few high quality games.
Yes, you get hundreds of games that already exist on the service the moment you sign up, but we think Google could do a better job of making them discoverable and I personally think that when we see that mostly low quality or oddball games are added on the first of every month, it doesn’t inspire confidence in the service. I’m willing to bet that Google is trying its best to add a wide variety of things that appeal to every type of person. That’s admirable, but maybe they need to make larger Play Pass compilations on the beginning of every month instead. Something like “Try these 20 amazing Play Pass roleplaying games this month!” Don’t worry, we’ll be making such compilations for you going forward to fill that gap, but yes, it would be great to Google put some work in here as well.
Games like Levelhead are a great start and I see value in them offering dress up games as perhaps the analytics point to the service appealing more to young women, but I would think they would get more subscribers by tossing in a few more premium RPGs with tons of content. Until then, here are your Play Pass games for the month of June. We made sure to leave out the ones we covered last month as to respect your time.
What games would you like to see added to Play Pass for the month of July? Let us know in the comments section below!
Google’s Play Pass subscription offers you over 450 apps and games in an ad free experience for each entry. It even bundles in all of the respective in app purchases at no extra cost for you and five other members of your family for just $4.99 per month. New games are added each month and we’ll do our best to bring those to your attention right here on Gaming Unboxed. You can begin with a free trial and decide whether or not you want to keep it too, so there’s no harm in diving in for a bit as you keep safe at home during the quarantine.
Coloring Book for Me – Mandala & Antistress
The Coloring book – Mandala and Antistress is great for adults in 2020. The Coloring has a lot of free images with mandalas, flowers, anime, and fantasy unicorns. Also, many special drawings for Christmas, Halloween and Day of the Dead. This is the best free coloring book for me!
You can choose any color from a juicy palette. It’s a more interesting game for real creative people than any coloring by numbers
