Xbox Game Pass PC is not the best place to play multiplayer games, because many games don't allow for cross-play with console/Steam/Epic/etc. Once again, this doesn't really impact me, since I'm going to play this game on PS5 anyway. However, Control is on my to-play list and I've read reports that the version available through Game Pass is not the most up-to-date version and is missing key performance/graphical upgrades that are available on Steam. Now, I have yet to play a game where there's any difference between what's available on Steam and the Xbox Game Pass // Microsoft Store.

The mechanism behind this issue also causes an issue where you can't transfer your saves to other versions of the game (such as to a Steam or DRM-free version) as easily.

Luckily for me, I have not modded a game in years, and I mostly play games that don't have strong modding communities. Plus, once Cloud formally comes to PC, the gap between console and PC should marginally improve. That being said, I have 37 games left on my Play Later list and that list has only grown in the past month, so I have plenty of games to play. Admittedly, there are a half dozen games on console that I would absolutely love to play (GTA V for a recent example). Crudely speaking, there are 257 PC games available through the service and 378 console games ( source).

However, as a caveat, you should know that these issues don't really impact me. To answer your question, I'm going to start with legitimate criticisms of Xbox Game Pass PC that I've read.
