Wait until some more releases come out before you commit that kind of money, unless it’s burning a hole in your pocket

Alternatively could just watch a let’s play or something to see the story / gags etc for a game like that I don’t think it’s got much replay value (could be wrong on that one)

The Xbox backwards compatibility is misleading. Make sure you look up the list of games that are backwards compatible to see if the ones you want to play are included. It's only a portion of the library but people make it sound like you can pop any Xbox or Xbox 360 disc in and it will work. This is not true. It only plays about 60 original xbox games and about 650 (out of 2200) Xbox 360 games.

I have GamePass on my PC and PS Plus Premium on my PS5. PS Plus Premium is about 300 more games for half the price (50% less with black Friday sale. It's about 30% cheaper normally) than Game Pass for Xbox. You basically pay the premium for Xbox Day One releases. There is value here but the games are overall mediocre comparatively. You're not getting GOTY contenders but you're getting a good variety and quantity of games.

Another thing no one likes talking about is the lack of "Next Gen" (current gen) exclusive titles on the Xbox. As of right now, with the exception of 3 titles, you can play all of Xbox Series X games on an Xbox One. After being released for 2 years now, that's pretty ridiculous. It would be nice of Playstation had more current gen exclusives but it currently has close to 10x what Xbox does and many of them have won awards.

My recommendation will be to stay with the Playstation family if you really have to choose one or the other. You'll still be able to play all of your PS4 games that you've acquired. And get the disc version. It's actually cheaper than the digital version. In the long run.
