@Shigurui I was surprised by just how much I've played it. Had it installed since November 2019 and I have kept playing it on/off ever since, still not bored of it.. There is always a new online tournament to play and when you start it's a good idea to join an online club where you can see how you fair against other racers.. This has kept me hooked ever since... You should enjoy it if you like arcade racers..
This is my most played game on Switch, 185+ hours... I also haven't spend a penny on anything, it's the game which keeps giving, great for a few quick races or a long session play. Only issue I have is it's not cross-play so while I'm so tempted to play it on Xbox in 4k I will have to start the career mode from scratch, after 185+ hours in I don't think I could start again...
The game holds up and plays so well... It's a very solid remaster thankfully. It's great to play it now on console after playing it for so many years on the PC.....
Like others have said, Dirt 5 has been a blast to play... Just completed the career mode, the arcade gameplay made it so much more fun than Dirt 4 for me..
@BlueOcean Yes, that's exactly the plan. Intrigued to try cloud in the meantime when it arrives before getting the Series X. Will be good to compare them both. Stock availability will improve over time so will no doubt get one soon enough... 😀
Interested in Microsoft Flight Simulator but still playing on my One X. I wonder how long till Microsoft enable cloud gaming/streaming via the Xbox One to make this title playable...
Any update on this???
@Snake_V5 True partly, you could just keep your Xbox One and play them on that. However, they will play alot better on the Series X... Also, some games might not be playable via the cloud. Series X is the best option by far, but this opens up the possibility for more people to experience the next gen games..
They are certainly covering all bases with this way forward... Trying not to leave anyone out. Cloud play will not be as good as playing on the Series X but it will mean someone with a base Xbox can still play games 4 or 5 years away..... Amazing if you think about it. Really is tearing down the barriers to entry... It's all about getting the Gamepass subscriber count up by any means possible....
I can see the base Xbox One struggling just a tad with this.. 🤣
I'm not getting a Series X till 2022, so I hope my Xbox One X manages to play the game "ok". I think "ok" is as much as I can possibly hope for...
Like many my resolution is to get my backlog down... It's absurd the amount of games I have purchased but am still yet to play. I still have a 360 backlog and many 3DS/Wii U even Wii games in sealed packaging. I've had some games 10+ years when I last looked but have not played them... That's before I even consider my Switch and Xbox One backlog... Let alone Game Pass.. Then I will pick up a Series X sometime down the line...
Tempted to get the Fortune Island DLC for For Forza Horizon 4 at £5.99.... Only issue is I don't even own the game as it's on Game Pass but being made by a Microsoft studio the game should stay on Game Pass I presume??
"3. Banjo & Kazooie will return in some capacity" Please be true...... Also Xbox Series Expansion Cards seriously need to come down in price. I understand the technology makes it expensive, but when a 1TB SSD is within the same price range as the Series S Console itself that's just madness...

Re: These Ten Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (July 22-29)
@BlueOcean Yes, that's exactly the plan. Intrigued to try cloud in the meantime when it arrives before getting the Series X.
Will be good to compare them both.
Stock availability will improve over time so will no doubt get one soon enough... 😀
Re: These Ten Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (July 22-29)
@BlueOcean That's great news.. (still getting a Series X regardless soon if I can find one) but it's good to know it will be possible on Xbox One..

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator Will Be 30FPS On Xbox Series X, Confirms Asobo
A few were thinking the XBox One might get a port of this.... From hearing that this will release at 30 FPS makes it seem very unlikely....
