Can confirm it's now on the store front as well as "Just for you" offer and free. Even though I had downloaded it via the app I had to activate it from that option. Playing it now.

Working by using the app to download to console. Coming down now.

On the Xbox app I have the option to download a version with this description:

This product entitles you to download both the digital Xbox backwards compatible version and the digital Xbox Series XIS version of this game.

Just heading home now and will see if I can do it.

For the price (and the fact I had £5 credit still) was worth a punt. Plays really well. A quadruple dip for me sadly but love the game.

I'm letting my 3 year subscription run down. Reward points now for Amazon vouchers. Not the end of the world as I've got so many games it's scary and don't play multiplayer online anymore.

I have no real issue with this as a dad of a 10yr old. Easy to verify my own age. Just send them a recording of the bone noises when I get out of bed in the morning.

I will wait for the inevitable discount. My son is desperate to play it.

My son is having issues with his searches. He can only do a few at a time and they stop. He then needs to come back about an hour later and they start again. Don't know if this is future of it all.

After the first showing of the game, I don't think anyone was surprised when they scrapped it and started again.

@nomither6 real football? Real football is played with feet. Hence foot+ball.

This is an amazing game. Even better at 120fps on the series X. Loved it so much I have it on my steam deck as well to play on the go.

Played it day one game pass and didn't click. Picked it up on humble bundle for my steam deck and I'm hooked.

@InheritNegative Who said that?...

My current 174 week streak means no extra points when it ends. Will keep doing whatever comes next. Points are points and I've not had to pay for Game Pass for 3 years now (and good till 2027.)

With the movie planned this cancellation puzzles me. Oh well. Keep spitting out those sports games EA...

Take my money. Never regretted buying the last 2 games.

I have some Microsoft reward points with this written all over... Loved the original.

Dig 3....... I will then part with cash.

Yes. My controller has seen better days. Gave my more recent purchase to my son who got drift on his.

I bought the point and click games on my deck the other day. Can't wait for this. Even though I've got ultimate for the next 3 years I might actually buy this.

Errrr something is definitely going on

@Beetlebum91 I know. This morning I spent 20 mins searching breeds of dogs because Microsoft have introduced AI in searches so my random crap search doesn't work... I need my mornings back. Got 3 years of ultimate still so happy.

My OCD keeps me going every day no longer what points I can get. If they stopped it I might be able to take a s**t in the morning without searching or doing a quiz. Still love it.

Blinx... but done well.

When I saw this on the Direct my first thought was what system to buy it on. Xbox because of my vast collection and have all the 360 games and new trilogy on it or switch because portability... don't want to double dip on this.

Operation was straight forward. Have had removal of (thankfully) non cancerous tumor and some biopsies done. Pain after is awful. God bless the NHS though. Staff were amazing but struggling under pressure. Got recovery now. 2 to 3 weeks. Although may work from home if feeling better. Joys of passing blood out of orifices that shouldn't and peeing razor blades. Co-codamol, plenty of water, rest, movies and videos games. Do need to thank Nintendo for kindly putting out a Direct on my first day off as well. My Xbox backlog is into hundreds, plus switch (cracked open Zelda) and may dust off my PS5.

Off work post op (get your prostate checked out chaps) will give these a blast. Or start clearing my backlog. Who am I kidding. Down loads started...

Meanwhile in China there is a factory making knock-off ones from the official designs...

Getting banned in a mass ban wave after buying an Xbox elite second hand from gamestation, after about half an hour of playing.
Seriously Left 4 dead 2. Possibly the most fun I've had on Live. Co-op at its best.

I was out from GWG when 360 games left. I've got 3 yrs of ultimate. I really miss the backwards compatible games.

Used to run this on my smart TV before it went subscription based. So tempted to do the lifetime subscription.

@Cashews Great game. Had 2 weeks off work after a rather nasty biopsy and it kept me amused in between pain relief and sleep. Still installed and me and my son play it regularly.

Great developers and produced one of my favorite PSVR titles with Psychonauts. A new point and click adventure game would be nice...

@Stocksy was about to post the same thing.

@SBandy1 I must be a developers wet dream then as I have loads of games either not loaded or just played once. I keep telling myself I will eventually get round to playing them...

Glad I payed out for it even when it is on Game Pass. One of the few games I've done that with. Worth it. Me, my wife and son enjoy this. Got the old man playing a few weeks back with us and took me back to playing the arcade game at our local bowling alley when I was a kid. 42 years old and got a cool 75 year old dad.

Have an external 8tb I swap games between but would love one of these. At the right price. Been looking at 2tb for my PS5 for less than a 1tb Xbox card.

@Kaloudz @LoquaciousB Same with me. My son was made up by it as well. My dad... He didn't even notice, but then again he just goes into auto pilot and mainly likes the daily quizzes for rewards.

Grabbed this last time it was free. Great game.

Remember being so hyped at the idea of a remake. Then seeing the gameplay trailer and wishing I hadn't. Take as much time with it. Just don't let it become the abomination it was before.

Some of these replies take me back to being in the playground in the 90s with kids shouting about SEGA and Nintendo. Can't people be happy about great games being released (Late night last night playing Zelda.)
I have all the current gen consoles thanks to a retro console clear out and some very aggressive ebay bidders. Used my Microsoft reward points to buy a cheap PSVR. I have enough games to last me several life times on my Xbox, switch and PlayStation consoles. I'm happy just enjoying gaming. I'm excited to see what's next for Xbox. Looking forward to the "Not E3" Nintendo direct. Possibly Spiderman 2 on PS5.
Xbox will be fine. They have some amazing studios to produce games and we will start seeing the fruits of their labor soon. People really just need to chill.

Living in the UK they should know that cloud gaming needs a good internet infrastructure, that we haven't got. Honestly seems a crock. Let's hope Europe and US can get this through.

@FraserG I can confirm skylines points as 250 not 25. Think Microsoft rewards team are having a bit of a mare at the moment. Can also confirm no points for res evil 4 purchase. Will see if that changes tomorrow before messaging customer services again.

@GalacticBreakdown in the same boat here in the UK with res4. Bought and hasn't registered 1 penny spent

I will get my 999 day badge in August this year hopefully. Just bought an Xbox wireless headset with points. Last purchase with points was Argos vouchers to buy a psvr. Have 3 years worth of ultimate. My son gets his robux every month and my dad gets Tesco vouchers at the end of the year for his Christmas shop. It's an amazing program.

Blue Dragon is also on the UK list of games going as well. Plus a load assassin's creed games. Check your region as may be more going.

I've waited to buy this and am getting it this weekend. Can't wait.

@Sebatrox That's been my mantra with all EA games since the start of EA Play.

I love the humour. I'm not a stoner. I might just be a child trapped in a 42yr olds body.
