Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Spring Sale 2022?

I'm wondering about Sekiro but it's still £30 and I'd rather have it physically. I do have enough rewards points though...

Monster Hunter world and assassin’s creed odyssey as if my backlog wasn’t big enough.

Nothing. I am more interested in niche games, and they rarely go on sale.

Civilization 6 Platinum, The Witcher: GoTY, Diablo 3: Eternal Collection, Thief, Metro Exodus, and Thief Bank Heist add-on.

Busy with Life is Strange True Colors, Lost In Random and Weird West on game pass so nothing

@Jango-Forest U wont regret buying that game trust me just prepare urself to become a real life shinobi

Too many games on Gamepass to play as it is for me to be spending more money on games.

@stephenratliff Cant go wrong with Witcher or Metro those games are epic

Ultimate Control with XS. Awh yeaaaaa.

Like pick up Diablo 2. But due to issues waiting for it to be $20.

@Tsushima Thanks, man!

Nothing. It’s all just the same old sales grouped into one. There’s a bunch of games on my wish list that either never go on sale or only get a crappy discount:

Nothing, My backlog is already big enough to last me a lifetime..

Nothing as it stands. I will have another look, but the backlog is so massive that I can't really buy anymore as I"ll probably never get around to actually playing it.

Just Split Second for me. Looking forward to getting stuck into it over the weekend.

Grabbed torment tides of numenara and saints row 3 for my Series X. Spent about 11 quid so very happy!

Damn Torment is good! Proper infinity engine fun!

Metro collection

@Medic_Alert That's smart. I'm in the same position with not much time to play and so many games I need to catch up on. Plus, these games will always be on sale in the future and for cheaper too

Risk of rain 2, might pick up Godfall with my reward points

I’ve got my eyes on Borderlands 3, Riders Republic, and Monster Hunter World. I haven’t decided on if I’ll pick any up yet though.

@jolteon23 any good? I'm tempted.

All three modern Tomb raiders. Already have on ps but achievements will give me an excuse to replay them. Fps on TR:DE is a gr8 bonus too.

Im pretty sure that like me, with so much availability on gamepass, many people just are not tempted to pay for something when they have so many unplayed titles waiting to be discovered for no further cost.
However, if theres a title that's missed gp, or been and gone, the prices are competitive enough.
Series X has become a GP only machine for me, I still get the odd steam title on PC, and I buy the PS exclusives I want. My switch hasnt been switched on in a long time, great handheld but I rarely need a handheld.

I still believe that gamepass will be hurting sales of non gp titles despite a rejection of that narritive by many. Certainly for me, and two other freinds who seem to be the same, it could be the only console ive ever owned that i will never buy a game on, and yet it brings me great pleasure and lots of great games

Received a £4 credit from Microsoft, so used it towards Lego Jurassic world in the sale. Enjoying and having fun 😘

Nothing. Sekiro and Diablo will join Gamepass when the Activision deal is done. I‘ll wait with patience. 😴

I've been working on my backlog so I wasn't planning on buying anything. I ended up with split/second after getting the $5 credit.

Only TimeSplitters 2.

@jolteon23 I bought it. Enjoying it a lot + your spot on - its a gr8 deal. 👍

@Jango-Forest try to get it physically, it's on the sale for about the same price every now and then
