Despite the fact that they keep saying they're commited to the Live Gold system, this is definitely a further step into the "all-free-multiplayer" mode.

Because they already announced that their best IP, which is off course HALO, is going the free to play road, for its multiplayer part.

And we all know that there is a really huge bunch of Xbox players who just pay the Gold fee to play Halo and only that.

Before we know it, the next Gears will be announced with a free to play multiplayer mode.

I installed the game on my Series X a few days ago, and intend to give it a try this week-end.

Now, the same and eternal question : go for quality, or performance ?
For this one, I'm more inclined to go the performance way. I think. What about you, folks ?

It is so beautifull right now on Series X. Don't need another patch, in my opinion.

Maybe just a re-launch of the game, with a box mentionning clearly "Series X / S" on it ?

Now Ryse, please. Pretty please.

And Sonic

I'm definitly trying Prey TONIGHT !
So glad I'm a gamepass subscriber

I'm finishing Gears of War 3 for the first time. That game is just a real beauty on Series X.
I'm intending to follow with Gears 4 and 5, off course (cannot wait to discoover those two games !)...
But before, I'll play Control Ultimate. I finally received my physical copy for Series X. I neved played the game before, and I really want to see those ray tracing effects that I've read so much about

@sib I was wondering the exact same question and I've read everywhere that Fallout new Vegas is the absolute pinacle of the series
But I don't know, the game being quite old, maybe Fallout 4 is a good start, too !

Ok, I admit it : you convinced me. I'm adding it to the list, right now !

Temporary exclusives, one year minimum.

You want Elder Scrolls now ? It's on the gamepass. You want in on Playstation ? Wait for next year, then.

Win / Win situation, in my opinion.

I'm trying Gears of War 3 for the first time (I just have played 1 and 2 before) and on Series X, it's really awesome.

The "Auto HDR" fonction does really work, it's a wonderfull option. It already did amaze me on the first Destiny (played it for the first time on Series X last month), and here, on Gears 3, it again does wonderfull things.

Planning to finally discover Gears 4 and 5 after, thanks to the gamepass.

Something that really bothers me, I have to say it, is when the "old-gen version" of a game is being made avalaible on gamepass, but not the Series version.

It happened with Control, and now it seems to happen again with NBA 2K21.

And that's not... fair, I guess. It makes a fancy add ("Look, we've got Control in gamepass !") but it's a kinda trick, in a way.

I wanted to play the next-gen version. So I bought it. The next-gen version, with all the great ray tracing and all, is not avalaible on gamepass. Same situation for NBA 2K21, apparently.

And I feel that, in terms of communication, it's not completely honest. No scam here, for sure. But it's not as great as it could be...

And this is why I BOUGHT The Witcher 3 when it was on sale a month ago. The GOTY edition was avalaible for 9 bucks.

This is one of the best news I've ever heard.

What about the Warframe upgrade ? That's one title I would like to play, it's already improved for PS5 since launch, so...

Never played a Dragon Age game. Interested in this one, as it is included in GPU...

Is this one ok to begin, or should I play another title first ? Like "origin" or something ?

Excellent selection ! I really hope we'll get to see more and more titles benefit from this awesome feature ! Sonic is a no brainer for me, as I repeat in every topic about this. It's gorgeous a ever on Series X, but a game based on speed at 30 fps ? Today, I just cant'. Yesterday, I could, but today I can't.

sonic ! sonic ! sonic !

Thanks, but I'll stick with my discs of Xbox Black and 360 Gaiden 2, please.

Sonic. Alle the Sonic games, god damn it ! XD

Grabbed it, too ! Thanks for the tip, I've been wanting to give this saga a try for a longtime, now !

Ok, I'm gonna buy the expansion, now. It's on sale for one more day, so here we go.

@GunValkyrie That's becoming a real problem now. Microsoft and Sony have to figure that out, now. This stocks problem is beyond ridiculous, now.

Give me Sonic in 60 fps, Microsoft !

@NotoriousWhiz Same. Especially since it's only the regular edition which is in the gamepass.
Right now, the GOTY edition is less than 10 bucks. I'm all in !

And yet I love this game with all my heart.
I know it does not have a proper endgame - which is basically the true purpose of this kind of game - but I really, really enjoyed my 40h journey in these awesome "Javelin" suits.

The game is beautifull, gameplay is fun, the world is interesting and they made bold choices for telling their story (the FPS city, for example).

At this stage, I only hope for a Series patch for true 4K / 60 fps, and some new content. But this won't probably happen...

@Bmartin001 Same as you, friend.
I'm kinda blocked by the "Breath of the Wild copy / paste" thing, but I guess this game manage to find its own personality, eventually.

I guess X cloud or Epic store.

I'd love a VR headset for Series X, thought.

But that won't be a thing for this gen, I guess. Not for Microsoft.

I'm discovering Jedi Fallen Order, thanks to GPU, on Series X.

This game is SO beautifull ! On performance mode, it is really incredible. Such a great Star Wars story, too. I'm just beginning my journey, but I'm already in love with the characters, the directing, everything.

It's really great.

I'll buy Ninja Gaiden, then. I want to keep it !

I'll be honest : I never use that stuff.
And I'm always turning my Xbox off "for real" when I'm done.

I only use the sleep mode when I have downloads of updates pending.

And that's great, cause what I love the most about the Series X is how fast it can boot up, even when it was really powered off.

What a great machine.

@papahefe Yeah, I know, I understood that

I know Sony HAD to, I get it. But still : we have a "Playstation Studios" game on Xbox. It kinda blur the lines, when you think about it.

And I know the Bethesda games will be an all kind of different matter. As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy to play those titles on my Series X ^^

But I guess it's not so impossible now to have an "Xbox Studios" game on Playstation.

Thinking about it, by the way, I realize that we already have Minecraft, in that case.

Well. I guess we'll see soon enough

This is huge. So now, I'm not so sure about the Bethesda exclusives, anymore. And that's a good thing.
Some titles are just too big to be exclusives.

I believe in this game. So strong.
It will be next Christma's biggest game.

I just can't wait. But I will. Cause I want it to be perfect.

Cyberpunk's lesson learned, friends...

@Tasuki I cannot have said it better.
Gosh, Internet...

I prevented myself to play it on the gamepass, cause it's the regular version.
I want to play the next-gen version. Microsoft, can you do please something about it ? Like, I don't know, update the gamepass version to the Ultimate one ?

I dream of a 60fps option for Sonic Generations. The game was updated for Xbox One X, now rendering at a beautifull 4K picture.

But still in 30 fps. For a game where speed is everything.

I can dream !

As someone who is discovering right now the Destiny franchise, I voted Destiny 2.
This game is so freaking beautifull. On Series X, it really, really shines. I find back this "gun-feel" that I loved about the Halo series, the general design is awesome, and there is so much to do.

As I undestand it, thought, the game is not that much a "free to play"... cause you have to buy the DLCs (Beyond Light and two others) to acess the full game.
Plus, there is this season system. If you're into it (and I'm not) you have to pay 10 bucks for a season (three months) in order to get access to special quests and rewards.
Plus, they did cut a huge part of the game's content. Some people paid for that content. But now it's gone.

So, Destiny 2 and money... it sure doesn't seem to be an happy wedding.

Except if you're a gamepass member. (and I am !)

Either way, such a great game at its core. If you got a Series X, you have to try this version.

Been a GPU member for a month, now. And I'm never going back from that.

"The Division 2 will also be receiving a next-gen patch on the start date of this event - adding 4K resolution and 60FPS."

Best news ever. Exactly what I was waiting to jump in again.

@WesEds Oh yeah, Enslaved would be great, indeed !

Don't forget that we can also buy a game that is leaving with a cut price.
I know we already pay for the service, but let's face it : it is so cheap that I don't forbid myself to buy one game or two from time to time.

It's Sonic. Xbox exclusive Sonic.
Because of the Shock Blue gamepad. "Still icONIC".

What ? A man can dream ! XD

I've just finished the main storylines of the first Destiny,

so I started Destiny 2, on Series X. And it's awesome. The game is beautifull (4K 60 fps) , and reminds me very much of Halo in design and gameplay (for obvious reasons).

I know the game is in a kind of bad buzz now, cause Bungie took out paid content (!!!) from the game... But for a new player like me, it's really great.

Something tells me that it will be the "regular" One version.

Like Control : I didn't download it on gamepass, cause I want to play the enhanced version for Series X. And for this version, I'll have to pay some extra bucks, I guess.

I have the shock blue one as a second controller for all the fighting games.
I really dig it.
This red is not bad, either

3 SEGA games for me !
Already had them on many others supports, but I want to play them on my Series X !

It would be so cool if it was Red Dead 2. I didn't play it and I just subscribed to gamepass.
Please, be Red Dead 2

I think they should really prioritize fixing the game and realeasing a proper Series X / PS5 version.

But maybe that's just me. I'm no developper.

@LtSarge I know what you mean : as a huge Halo fan, I was really eager to finally see this other franchise Bungie has created.

So I bought, a while ago, the first Destiny in its complete edition (with all its extensions on the disc).

And I decided myself to finally play it only a week ago.

And you know what ? Even with its low resolution and its 30 fps (you can litterally feel it's a 360 / ps3 game originally), it's STILL incredible.

I've launched it just to rush the story, without caring about loot or performances. Just to prepare myself for the second one. But the universe, the gameplay, everything is so addictive. Still is.

This game is the reason why I finally made the move to go Ultimate. I needed the Live for one or two raids (some of them are multi only), and it was stupid to pay 7 bucks for one month of live when I had this Ultimate offer just waiting for me.

I just can't imagine what Destiny 2 will feel like, with its next-gen version in 4K / 60 fps !

Maybe I'll see you there, by the way !

I just subscribed to the program. I've waited until now to give my backlog some time.
But now I've done it : I've claimed my All Access offer.
So I'm now a gamepass ultimate subscriber til april 2023 (!!).
So I've made a list. And it's a huge one.
But the very first games I've downloaded :
Nier Automata
Jedi Fallen Order
Dragon Quest XI S
Destiny 2

I think I'm covered for a while just with those four ! ^^
