Feels like a sci fi Tomb raider vibe going on …. Looked incredibly cinematic

Do we know what the Dec game is? Outer Wilds 2 takes the Oct spot… Feels like a banger should drop in Dec….

On the plus side Aphelion, Outer Wilds 2 and Clockwork Revolutions were right up my street… on the minus side was all the potential news we could of had… the handheld will not cheap for the elite one… some interesting AA games that could be good… Grounded 2 caught me by surprise… Final Fantasy but at full price? Should have done a day 1 discount as now I am just waiting for a sale and that’s not good….all in all a solid B but the games themselves get an A

I’m looking forward to a Fable release date, Clockwork Revolution update, something From ABK ( they have to be brewing something??? ) , any shadow drops…
This is my favorite showcase … super hyped!

@TapeLoader All I can say is that making AAA games is hard. The resources required are immense and one misstep could financially ruin your company. Even GTA6 can’t give an exact date. At least Xbox when they do give a date it generally dead on….

That is a lot of content coming amazing! @fraserg heard wild rumour that Ubisoft games coming to Gamepass by the end of the year … specifically Star Wars Outlaws, AC shadows, The Crew motorfest and Avatar frontiers of Pandora… heard anything?

When you play on your Switch 2, PS5, Apple smartphone and the first thing you see is a Microsoft logo when you start playing your next new game… does it really matter your device of choice? Let Microsoft Trojan horse themselves everywhere and let’s see where we are at in a few years…

Currently trying to play the monthly 10 games to get my reward points… for my main game it will be Kulebra and then watch the show tomorrow as it is my highlight of the year …. Nothing really touches it show wise … see you in the chat!

Yes, a couple there that I should have played more … Dungeons of H and Kunitugama… stopped playing for no reason other than to free up some disk space for next shiny thing.

@BacklogBrad At least twice as good as last year! My hype train is overdrive:
Outer Wilds 2
Gears of War
Silksong
Blade
Fable
Halo Infinite 2
Mass Effect 5
Perfect Dark
Clockwork Revolution
Indy DLC

A good excuse anyways if you have to make a delay. In fact I try and avoid posting when @kaloudz posts as they are too good and cheerful…. Happy Crash4 btw!

On one hand I feel bad for his soul being crushed but on the other hand you got to have known going in that a F2P is a lottery and it is what it is…

I love a good indie but nothing caught my eye… if any come to GsmePass I will play

Even if it was just a modified Hitman - I would take it… 007 just is a great IP to have …. Like printing money

I reckon that everyone is sighing with relief that these are the games leaving… last months were more brutal @kaloudz Can’t wait for the Crash 4 announcement shadow dropping at Gamefest!

The Alters is my most hyped game for June following by the new Lost in Random game… anything else is just gravy at this point…

Hollow Knight … mic drops and walks away….

Been playing To a T, Monster Train and Kulebra…
I want to be kind but To a T is at best a 6/10 and the only reason I am still pushing through is that I am stubborn and it makes me laugh every so often…

Ok - I the guy that thinks that not only is GP sustainable but profitable. The porting of games to PS makes it even more so. MS will raise GP prices on a yearly basis but still makes an enormous amount of money. The fact it is also a great deal to gamers makes it a win win…what I do see is that games in the service are evolving to be longer to complete so that you are more inclined subscribe month after month… it’s no coincidence that these 50+ hour games are showing up in bucketloads

Would we have to pay for the mods? If it added actual content that would be cool….

I played both Kulebra and To a T and I am enjoying Kulebra way more… May has been so strong that I may never get to my purchased backlog…

Every year by myself, watching live on my Xbox and letting world premiere after world premiere wash over me…

Come join the adventure …. Month after month after month… cause we have all the 100+ hour rpgs you can possibly want!

Just a basic cozy game I reckon… a speed bump on my way to other games

I couldn’t vote any lower than a 1…. So not hyped … back to Kulebra…

@awp69 Don’t sleep on Kulebra and the lost souls then … nice relaxing adventure

@TheUnrestCure Thanks! I appreciate the extra info … you can tell that there was a lot of thought put into the first one and seems like many improvements were made to an already good game….

Still playing the first one… very long grind to get to 100% … is the new one just as grindy?

I feel sorry for the folks with a “poor” PC and have to pick very low… just buy a Xbox S and upgrade your experience. In fact Microsoft should display an ad for the Xbox if you choose very low lol

Must…keep up and play everything….must not sleep or talk to wife… sorry but GamePass is too much… I am broken!

@Aidax89 just a trailer for the sequel years ago…

So they will green light anything other than Beyound Good and Evil?

@FraserG but can I play them at 60 fps?

@themightyant There is some irony in destroying the environment and world by streaming/playing Zork with a good and stable internet connection….

I have a suspicious mind and think that with Gamepass being so strong that they are basically setting us up for a price increase in June… anyways I will be the first to say I will pay a little more for games like this!

I am super hyped and unabashedly excited… the June showcase is the ultimate way to see what the future holds and I can’t wait… bring it on!

Just finished Little Kitty Big City! Such a nice cozy game and jumped right into Kulebra and lost souls… a sneaky good Cozy game… would never had played it had it not been on Gamepass … it is a very good 8/10 if you enjoy this type of game … give it a go while playing Doom for a quiet break

In Canada, it’s been pretty good I must say … I generally get a $25 gift card every two months - I will take it gladly!

The original was a must play! I agree that moving to a rouguelite may be a stretch too far …

I played the heck out of Doom 1 & 2 as well as Quake … hoping for more of the same type of old school sensibility instead of the later modern running around stuff…

I picked all three but weirdly I will play the cozy game Souls of Limbo first… just in the mood for a quiet game atm

@Tasuki I don’t believe there are tariffs on digital services … yet. Part of the US issue is With countries that are collecting a digital services tax on US companies… which is a tariff

There seems to a great game hiding in there but may have missed the mark a little bit…. Still will play and have some fun with it!

@HonestHick All 15B was paid by the US consumer… tariffs are taxes… worst part is that the US has alienated their friends so just the loss of tourism to the US offsets any theoretical gains.

Just trying to say my goodbyes to the May 15 games leaving… the Big Con, Chants of S … etc other than that maybe Oblivion if time allows

@OldGamer999 Like the review it’s a bit of both I reckon :;

Not my cup of tea …. And I have some excellent oolong in my backlog

It used to be that Xbox has no games and now Xbox has too many games on Gamepass and too many of their exclusives on PS…. Just grumble away friends… grumble away… For me I came for Starfield and stayed as Gamepass was just too amazing not to have…

This is going to take a lot to convince me to purchase atm … The price and usefulness will likely push me away but if it unicorns, I will buy…

In my mind this doesn’t exist until it exists… got too much backlog to get much hyped about it.. Feels like 2026 at the earliest and late 2026. Where is Perfect Dark btw?
