@Nexozi Thought Sony did a PS5 and a PS5 pro so thought the PS5 was the PS series S…

@Nexozi I can’t resist…
Unless you consider Helix as the stronger console and the PS6 as the weaker console…

@Katiecooh if that’s the case, that will make it a good showcase. A great superhero trailer and anything else is bonus.

The last couple of years the PS show has been very watered down and the Xbox show spectacular. Very likely the best game will be Halo at the PS one….

Feels like the name Embracer Group is tarnished and looking to distract gamers from the type of company they truly are….

You all have great points but if I was in charge and the deep pockets:
1) Sell Helix at a huge loss … just undercut everyone at once
2) Everything exclusive
3) Market the $&@) of of it

With sky high prices for everything else, you could really capture the market and then work out prices later…

@brettvsgodzilla thanks for your comment! It’s such a fun indie but feels like not enough people are playing it. Loved Brotato and hoping the new Vanpire Crawlers is good.

Still on Dwarf Survivors 184/300 achievements… a bit repetitive and the crashes slowing my runs. Brews and ***** might be my next adventure… maybe start Hades 1

I just started and thought nothing really grabbed me to keep playing. I will give it a few more gos before I move in to Vampire Crawlers coming soon…

The none of these votes obviously don’t have Gamepass as who wouldn’t want to play at least one or all three of these games…

Fully expected the AI to generate a certificate now and congrats me with a poem or something… seems so millennial to just get a pop up….

I will wait on all the patches for Crimson Desert. Still playing Dwarf Survivors 166/300 achievements. Feeling an itch for a RPG so will check my backlog … maybe Witcher 3

Wow some heavy hitters leaving … how will I cope?

Likewise, feeling all aglow for these two games. Happy Pi day!

@Bmartin001 If you are a Costco member in Canada, they have deals on GP Ultimate and gift cards. Worth the 3 month investment

There should be an asterisk * by any achievement that AI does.

Wow after so much being added this is a very easy selection to be removed… even forgotten that Enter the Gungeon was even on it

Still a good system overall. An extra 800 per $25 still hurts though.

I picked all the above as I usually do play all the above… hence my name

I think the first game was reviewed harshly for the repeating one liners. Seems like now the reviewers are ok with that … I liked the first game as it was way better than the reviews.

Expanding to a version of cable TV. I call it Gamepass slop. Just adding slop and more slop until it is a blotted mess.

Breaking news: making AAA games is expensive. So we are only using AI going forward to raise profit…

A bit of this and that… got a feeling not much here for me. Not that there isn’t good games but can’t add anything at all to the backlog

These sales are mathematically unsound usually. Pay $60 and get 3 games or wait until they go on sale and pay $40. Hoping someone with a calculator app can prove me wrong….

They didn’t mention their AAAA portfolio… guess that was just piling on but it shows how out of touch with reality they were.

Solid enough score for me to give it a try… wonder how much the Xbox tax will be …

January is always a great Gamepass month, so nice to see it continuing… at least 5 games I will definitely play. Even Drop Duchy looks interesting

Still Dwarf Survivors but also started Star Wars Outlaws and Keeper. All great in their own way. Way too many games at the moment as I would love to start Lost records and FF1 but no time…

I got 6 months at a cheap rate so I’m good for a bit… however just asking about it still hurts… too soon

Still playing Dwarf Survivors and am at the 150 / 300 achievements … also have FF1 ready to go later on … have a great weekend!

Outlaws or My Little Pony … hmmm tough choice

Glad everyone enjoyed these games… time to dig another bigger hole

If they are in Showcase they must be coming out this year…. Just a question of when and in what order
My guess is Feb = BoR, June = Fable and then Sept = Forza with CoD slotted in it’s regular slot

January is always a great Gamepass month! Have to say I called Outlaws so I can take that off my bingo card… will give FF1 a go.

Is it just me, but as I scrolled through… 2027 is way more likely for 80% of these titles
I lost my faith in the hype train…

Xbox has announced annoying little for January so far and usually January is a big month… so personally expecting Star Wars Outlaws to drop

I feel 2026 will just be a celebration of 25 years and then who knows… drink while the champagne is flowing….

Happy New Year! 🎊
Thanks PureXbox for answering all my questions… great being with y’all!
Bring on the January games…

I still have not purchased anything in the sale so far but will get Dave the diver and Animal Well. Dwarf Survivors is my main focus atm…

Actually Avowed was reasonably close … what I always realize is that I need to play more of the top 10. However really enjoyed playing 11-25 a lot this year

I did dive in and buy Dave the Diver as well as Animal Well. There goes my rewards points… this still my favorite sale

I definitely played it a couple times and thought it had potential but somehow got distracted by something else. Will give it another try…

I would love to start a new game but realistically just working through a few might be a thing. However Dave the Diver might be in the cards…

Trust in Phil has been my motto! So far so good in my opinion… He got me back in with the Series S, gave me lots of rewards points and gave me a backlog. What’s not to like…

At this point we (including Xbox) don’t have any idea what games will be put in 2026 or get pushed into 2027. Fable and Clockwork would be have to be contenders though…

So far only Dave the diver tempting me…

This is my favorite sale of the year. Please don’t let me down Microsoft. I have $25 to spend… let’s go!

I feel that $1 million dollars is a number that will be hard to recover from my $9 purchase, 5 years into the future at 2031 game awards sale on my Steam box I will eventually purchase

I reckon Xbox does a pretty good job at picking their “filler” games. I always find a handful to play and enjoy. Would I prefer all AAA games to be day 1? Of course but then I would only play AAA and miss out n some real gems

My choice would be Netflix but that almost certainly curses them so can’t wait for Apple to retry and give a third stick in the fire… ABK drama all over again…
