@SlipSlot Can only speak for Quantum Break as I tried it also with no joy. Apparently Xbox One discs in the first year of production didn't have the individual codes added.
It's great when developers innovate to squeeze every drop of performance out the hardware. Makes some of a platforms best games arrive late in the life cycle.
Might be small potatoes but it would be really good to have an option to disable the console from booting up when I want to simply use my headphones with another device.

Completely unrelated.
Quite a lot of fanfare over the Lego Playstation. Have you seen the Mattel Brick Shop Xbox?

Re: Xbox Asks Fans How They'd Feel About A Really Bold Approach To Exclusive Games
@Bionic-Spencer
Think the reason behind exclusives is to bolster the worth of ones own platform?
Have never seen as a means to mete out "punishment" to another platform's users...

And we're all gaming while people die in wars. What you gonna do? Crap is always happening somewhere.
Re: Talking Point: The Xbox Console Experience Has Had A Phenomenal Year So Far
All the updates made me rejoin the Insiders program so I could get them sooner!
Some great new features and some nice QOL updates.
Had almost forgotten what firmware updates beyond "stability" felt like.

"People may think I am odd for not wanting to play E-Day in co-op before finishing it solo"
Why would people find it odd?
I for one don't think so, although I will also do a solo playthrough. So there's that...
Re: Forza Horizon 6's First Premium Expansion Planned For January 2027 Alongside PS5 Launch
Oh no, prepare for the unavoidable "plays best on PS5" gloating.
Re: Report: Xbox Lands Exclusive Streaming Deal For GTA 6 At Launch
@Romans12
Pretty sure Xbox owners will be able to play it day one on big TVs and surround sound without this "garbage deal" as well.
You do realise the game is being released natively on Xbox too don't you?

Re: Despite How Amazing Xbox Disc To Digital Is, There's Some Sadness Around Forza Horizon
Bah, that's a pity.
Any news on Namco joining the program?
Only a matter of time surely.
Re: Gears Of War: E-Day Smashes Steam Record And Earns Xbox Series S Praise In First 24 Hours
@Banjo-
Have a suspicion that most recent article would have by now received an update if the game was received poorly.
Along the lines off "Gears not so E-day, PS5 users not missing out after all"....

Re: Xbox Is Officially Taking Over From PlayStation On Hideo Kojima's New 'PHYSINT' Game
@johnedwin
"the game is still coming to the ps sony just not funding it anymore so no loss for sony.."
Apart from it not being a PlayStation exclusive.
Are exclusives not one of the biggest selling points for PlayStation?
Re: Xbox Is Officially Taking Over From PlayStation On Hideo Kojima's New 'PHYSINT' Game
If this can launch with next gen Xbox as an exclusive it could be a real win.

@FraserG
Apparently Ubisoft have now joined the program and insiders can obtain digital licenses.

Re: Xbox Is Officially Putting Time Limits On Cloud Gaming For Game Pass Members
That is a bit pathetic. Don't cloud game, but know folks that do. 15 hours a week wouldn't even be enough nevermind per month.
Guess will see if Asha is really listening, as I imagine the backlash will be quite vocal.
Be interesting to see what the top up fees will be. Could be they're waiting to see how this news is received before deciding on them.
