@Millionski It’s depends to some point on cross generation games next generation. Some say if we think we had a lot of cross generation this generation, next generation cross generation games may last nearly all the next generation.
That means helix should be able to play cross generation series x version or the new PC version.
I know it gets all if and buts, but that will happen, probably for a least the first 3 years of next generation.
Keep some exclusives and some others maybe timed exclusive.
Also just to mention if I was purely in the PS camp with Sony I would like Xbox to be super strong again. Sony have made many mistakes this generation and keep putting prices up. One thing will make Sony think more is healthy competition.
Well they are keeping that word “XBOX” and that is great to hear. Let’s hope it’s the start of amazing things to come. The rest of this year is looking good as it’s games that count. FH6 Halo Gears Maybe Fable.
@themightyant I’m not rushing in, I was coming from the visual purists point of few. It’s good you having both that you do notice the difference, the price is as well 😂.
Great news on GPU price reduction today, I’m not a big COD fan so suits me. Of late Xbox have been doing things that suit me, so that’s good.
I feel I’m in the need of new Xbox hardware. When I see what PSSR 2 does with pro, even more so just now. No jaggies or fuzz, movement fizz etc. I see the series x flagging behind a little in the purists visual picture and movement area.
A bit too vibrant for me. Also prefer the elite 2 controller, grip wise and to crank the thumb sticks up to full tension. Looking forward to the game though.
@Kraven So far I’m finding as near as good as RE9 the first half of RE9. And a little better than RE9 the second half of RE9, which seemed to go wrong for me a little bit.
Well series x £480 at Smyths toys UK. So about right to me. Cheaper than the official PS5 disc UK price and in the right hands more powerful. And miles ahead power wise than the £400 switch 2, which also doesn’t have a disc drive for CDs or 4k blu rays.
This Pragmata game is really good. Been playing for a few hours now. Some exploring, upgrading, collecting and shooting of course. And it’s a bit different from the norm, with the hacking feature. Probably one of very games I have and will buy this year out right.

Well I hope they come flocking back to help Xbox become great again and sell more, we sort of do need them back really 😂

FH6
Halo
Gears
Maybe Fable.
Re: Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced Formally Unveiled, Heading To Xbox In July 2026
For me I need an adventure like this.
Day one for me. Will be a totally different and contrasting game to FH6 in May and that’s a good thing.

Absolutely the older games were very good.
The parcel force games are not for me. 😂

You took the words right out of my mouth.
Re: Here's A Breakdown Of The New Prices For Xbox Game Pass As Of April 2026
This has come at a great time with what’s being released the rest of this year and probably into 2027 as well.

Great news on GPU price reduction today, I’m not a big COD fan so suits me.
Of late Xbox have been doing things that suit me, so that’s good.

Re: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Is Getting A 'Worldwide Reveal Showcase' This Week
Well let’s see if it’s a great remake or a simple remaster.
Did like the game though, originally.

Re: Xbox Boss Wants A 'Chat' With Ex-PlayStation Exec Over Criticisms Of Game Pass
Way to much politics
It works for me, enough sad.

So far I’m finding as near as good as RE9 the first half of RE9.
And a little better than RE9 the second half of RE9, which seemed to go wrong for me a little bit.
Re: Talking Point: What's A 'Good Deal' For An Xbox Series X or S In 2026?
Well series x £480 at Smyths toys UK.
So about right to me.
Cheaper than the official PS5 disc UK price and in the right hands more powerful.
And miles ahead power wise than the £400 switch 2, which also doesn’t have a disc drive for CDs or 4k blu rays.
That’s my logical thinking anyway.
Re: You're The Xbox Boss And Need To Figure Out Exclusivity, What Decision Are You Making?
@16BitHero
Well I’m going by Microsoft or maybe rumours I guess.
It’s hard to tell what’s real nowadays 😂
Re: You're The Xbox Boss And Need To Figure Out Exclusivity, What Decision Are You Making?
Well I guess it’s all about Microsoft’s destiny with the Xbox brand and studio games.
If Helix is PC then there will be no Xbox console games as they will be PC games.
However Helix will run Xbox old games from series x etc.
So it’s a way of getting a PC under your TV with hopefully all the simplicity of a traditional console.
So it just depends then if you want new Xbox studio PC Helix games on PS6 and Switch 2 etc.
I think overall probably multi platform as Helix will be a low selling niche PC device really.
Not to say it won’t be great and suit some.
You could go 6 months to a year to stay off PS6 and Switch 2, but that really would be more keeping game pass ultimate alive than Helix.

Mainly Pragmata, enjoying so far.
