@PeterN_UK I'm in the same boat and wondering whether to get battlepass on Xbox or just play on that service, graphics are so sharp and do eventually want to upgrade my own PC.
I actually prefer the way the average player goes about things compared to console, it's way more tactical or something but obviously there will be cheats.

Pros
- You still own the games from Uplay, Steam, Origin and EGS
- PC digital stores are cheaper than Xbox and PS Console Store
C0ns
- Latency. Competitive disadvantage, even if small disadvantage the fact remains it is there.
- Goodbye to your friends on PS and Xbox unless you're playing a cross platform online game or willing to buy same game on more than one platform
- Not all steam games will work with GeForce Now. i.e. ALL Total War series is missing from my library sync WTF. Basically you have to make sure by searching in GeForce Now App first to check licenced before actually purchasing in Steam.
Now imagine you bought a game on Steam specifically to play on GeForce Now. But then later they pull licence plug!
Some interesting reading on "Why" on the legal even if technically you own the game, but someone else is still distributing it to you. In a sense Nvidia is making money by being middle man and need approval from every developer. Developers who can then turn around later to halt on GeForce Now when you've already purchased the game to own on steam.
Kind of puts me off GeForce Now if my Steam games could be pulled without warning should Devs decide to change their mind!
- @PeterN_UK I'm aware of the pitfalls and wouldn't buy anything without another way to play but am hopeful APEX wouldn't be pulled, all in loving the graphics man my Xbox looks a pixelated mess in comparison.

Actually I've decided. I was playing as a rank 1 account and it was "OK" as the lobby was full of people less than rank 10 consistently.
Joined few PC lobbies with 2 other members of this forum and it was the worst nightmare of my life against higher ranked PC players.
So sticking to console as I don't have the muscle memory for mouse. Probably would take me months if I tried.
