submitted byBelle from Nex Playground - 2 months agoA: Based on the product information, a subscription is required to access the full game library. Customers generally have mixed views on the subscription model. Some find the yearly fee worthwhile for the variety of games offered. Others wish more games were included for the initial cost. The quarterly Play Pass subscription costs $49 while the annual subscription costs $89. This unlocks access to over 20 games beyond the 5 included titles. Several customers recommend getting the subscription for the best value and to access new game additions monthly. However, some reviewers wish more games were included for free initially before paying extra.

Q: Do you need a cube for each person or can multiple people play with one unit?
A: It appears the cube’s wide angle camera will pick up to 4 players.
submitted byAnon - 2 months agoA: You only need one system. Some games are 1 player and some are up to 4. The games are all inside the cube so you only need one, but not every game can be played by multiple people.

Q: Once you purchase the annual pass, can you download your favorite games? Will the games expire when your pass expires? Or will everything you download still be there after pass expiration?
A: I have one and you don’t download the games. You more so access them, so in that regard, I expect if you discontinue the subscription, you no longer have access to the games in the subscription. I find it worth it and now everyone in our extended family wants one, but they’re sold out everywhere.
