Finally broke down and got the boys Game Pass (they're 11 and 13). Honestly it's been great - way cheaper than buying individual games and they've actually been playing more varied stuff instead of just Fortnite for 6 hours straight. The parental controls are solid too. If you're on the fence about it, I'd say pull the trigger.
11 and 13 is the sweet spot for that subscription. They're old enough to use it responsibly but young enough that you can still monitor what they're doing.
How are you handling screen time limits with it? That's my main concern with Game Pass - feel like my kids would just live on it if I let them.
Game Pass is solid value honestly. What games are they playing the most? My kids just cycle through everything but that's kind of the point.
The real win is having parental controls built in. My kids can't just download whatever they want now.

Definitely cheaper than buying games individually. And at least you know what they're playing when it's all in one place. Better than random stuff from random sites.
