Topic: The Xbox Game Pass Thread

@graysoncharles
Ah, that's a pity.
Thanks for the quick response!

Until a few days ago, I had no idea you can share games, game pass and live gold with family and friends. Now between 3 of us we have a pool of roughly 350 to 500 games

Just started on Gamepass Ultimate for the first time (cbf doing the 3 year deal). 14 day trial, with an added month free if signed up.

I'm impressed, and started trying out smaller games I had interest in (carrion, lonely downhill).

As someone who has successfully walked away from WoW (day 1 player) via account deletion, I'm interested in what MMOs are recommended on XBox.

Yes, if you have 36 months of standard Gamepass, you can convert to ultimate using the deal.

Any more than 36 months is lost.

So quick question I see some games on Gamepass are marked with X/S on them doesn that mean they only work on the Series X and S and won't work on the Xbox One?

@zxSpectrum2 Sorry, I didn't see this message originally. Yes, it should work as far as I know - just make sure you don't go above 36 months. There's more info on this trick here:

@Tasuki I think if they are visible on the Xbox one app then they are playable on Xbox one, the Xbox app doesn't show the PC games so I don't see why it would display series s/X exclusive games. Some of the games are showing the S/X logo and I just think it means they are "better" on or compatible with those consoles

Has anyone been playing Haven? I’m really enjoying it, characters are pretty fun and it’s nice to look at, very nice chill game.

It seems to make my series X run like arse though, if I go back to the dash it feels laggy and as soon as I quit the game it goes back to normal. Maybe a bug or something but it’s weird.

just late last night since i have Game Pass Ultimate i decided to install Final Fantasy XV

right now this morning i find out that its still at 12 percent installing and it says itll take 8 or 9 hours today to install.

the hell??? Why is it taking this so damn long to install?

@urrutiap what system do you have? Is it set to download overnight? The system usually powers down after a set time of no usage. I believe the series X default is 1 hour on power saver mode. You can change that up to 4 hours or you can put it in instant mode and can download overnight as it's always "on".

As for the download speed it's all based on your internet. I've seen mine range from 140Mb down to like 30Mb depending on the time of day.

I have an X Box One S.

my internet connection is DSL which shouldnt be the problem.

i want the game now. i dont want to frikkin wait 8 to 9 hours the whole damn game

@urrutiap does it tell you what your download bandwidth is? I haven't had an Xbox since the OG one so don't know if it shows you what you're getting. How big is the game? Is this slower than normal for downloads that you've experienced or is this your first time downloading a game?

Final Fantasy XV is like 70ish or 80 GB and its still slow installing

@urrutiap ok so a big game, what's your download speed? It just seems like your system went to sleep overnight and that's why you didn't have it ready this morning, nothing weird about it.

My internet speed isnt the frikkin problem and my console by the way i turned it off because i didnt want to leave it on the whole damn night since i was up at 3 o clock.

an hour ago this morning the game was still installing slow.

My internet "speed" and my console being on or off shouldnt be the reason why the game is installing so damn slow.

not the only game that i installed that took hours to install. Games I buy from Walmart or anywhere the physical discs.

X Box games take too damn long.

I never have problems like this with my Playstation 3 and Nintendo switch games

@Royalblues should be the same account you sign in with on your Xbox.

@urrutiap sorry you're having issues bud. I just have the X so maybe someone else can comment on download speeds on the One S. Like I said I've been out of gaming for a bit and never did digital downloads before. From what i understand the new ones are a bit faster but it should still be similar.

Hope you get it sorted out

Since there's a good huge sale going on the X Box Live story now, i just bought and now installing Dead Rising 4.

Thinking about getting one more game. Either Just Cause, Just Cause 4 or that frikkin Dragons Dogma

what do you know...

Dead Rising 4 is still installing from the X Box Live store.

Damn X box Live store games i swear they take a whole day and half just to frikkin install.

Never had this problem with buying and downloading a game from the PSN store for my Playstation 3 or even 3DS for cripes sake

Just got Halo MCC and started from the start. The original looks great and switching between original and enhanced mode really shows you what work they with the game. Only an hour in and really enjoying it.

I also noticed there are quests to complete for Exp and some armor? Is this for multiplayer? Anyone a MCC very who can let me know what the quests and seasons are all about?
