Honestly just depends on your budget, and preference. Im not a fan of Xbox, and literally only have it because of future releases for fallout and elder scrolls games. So what I would suggest is just looking at it game by game. Like I would check trophies, and try the game on gamepass, and If you really thinking I want to invest in it, go buy the ps5 copy, but if its something you think youll spend a day with then be over it, then just save the money, and get what you need off gamepass. You can also just wishlist an item and wait for a sale, while you check the gamepass version.

Another thing to add to this is typically when a game is leaving gamepass, it tends to be discounted for gamepass account holders before being removed from the Program/Cycle.

However that being said I own many a dupe game and will always recommend getting the game on whatever system you mainly play on or if you want to play multiplayer to choose what your typical friend group has access to or available.

P.S. Not sure about other consoles but I do believe that Rise is Cross-Platform from the windows store to series s/x not sure about others.

Depends on how much you like the game. If it's the kind of game you could put 100's of hours into or one that you see yourself coming back to over the years, then buy it on the system you prefer.

If it's a game that you think will have limited replayability then go gamepass.

you wouldn't be a jackass, no. games sometimes rotate on and off gamepass. and with a game where you can easily sink 100+ hours it would be a shame to have 75 hours in and then have the game leave gamepass. then again, if that situation does happen, you can always buy it just as you would today. at least at that point you know you love it.
