It probably does lag. But as long as the audio matches the video, and it should because there would be the same lag for both, it's really a moot point.
"Lag" really only concerns video games or other user-input-based applications. Streaming a movie isn't that.

Xbox Game Pass Expands To Include New Releases From Microsoft Studios
https://majornelson.com/2018/01/23/x...osoft-studios/
Insert joke about Microsoft ever having any good exclusives on Xbox to make this worthwhile?

Moving forward, we plan to release all new Xbox One exclusive games from Microsoft Studios into Xbox Game Pass on the same date as their global release. This means that when Sea of Thieves launches on March 20, it will be included in Xbox Game Pass to all members.
This plan to bring new games timed with their global release into Xbox Game Pass not only includes announced titles like Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, and Crackdown 3 but future unannounced games from Microsoft Studios including new iterations of our biggest Xbox One exclusive franchises such as Halo, Forza and Gears of War, on the same day they launch.

Wow. That might be the tipping point for me to join. Basically if you would have purchased 2 games per year or more from them, it makes sense to subscribe.

Same... I'll probably jump in when they release the new Crackdown... but Sea of Thieves isn't of interest to me.

I've got Crackdown 3 on preorder. I don't have much interest in Sea of Thieves, either, but if it gets good reviews, I'd check it out. I do want State of Decay 2, though. So there's my 2 games that would pay for this service.

Wow... that just saved me a bunch of money...
I'm surprised that they didn't either create a higher tier for that... or combine Gold and Game Pass into a new tier like Gold Plus or something.

Yeah, if you're only in to single player or checking a game out on release, you could just pay $10 for the month to play the new release and be done with it. I assume Microsoft is banking on people keeping their subscriptions.

Or they wait a year and up the price to $15 a month.
So with this changing now, did they just dump all of the Forza games in there?

My question/concern would be how long would the new game be kept on the service since they move titles in and out of Game Pass. If it is at least say 2 months that is enough for me usually to get through a game any ways, but say it is only a month for these new games would not be cool in my book at least. Overall though this news would definitely get me to pick up the service.

Straight from the horse's mouth (Aaron Greenberg):
So basically new release titles will forever remain on Game Pass. 
Some of our @Xbox fans have asked, so wanted to share: we’re adding new Xbox One exclusives to Game Pass with the intention of them being a regular part of the value for being an #XboxGamePass subscriber going forward!

This version is lacking the Offspring, correct? The game just isn't the same without it.

Or you could just listen to good music while playing instead.
