Absolum, super fun. Bummer about xbox, maybe shouldn't step on toes when you don't have a leg to stand on.

Cronos and Hell is Us for physical. I really dig Achilles Survivor, Soulstone Survivors and Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel as digital only and honestly have gotten more attention from me this year. Love these quality survivor-likes of late for quick fixes and stress relief.

Just another breadcrumb in the case of the missing next-gen Xbox. Gonna find this happening a lot lot lot more as devs shy away from the GP demands, form this new solidarity/security and avoid Xbox entirely.

I want an update to allow me to remove all the bloat from the dashboard and when I select "see less of this" I actually see less. I hate the unremovable Play History tab stuck at the end. The entire dashboard is ugly really. So much nicer UI on Switch/2 and PS5 and I can see what I want, wish it were the same on Xbox, nope just ads.

This isn't the "Person Of The Year" TIME Magazine of old. Its an advertisement based service first and foremost, nowadays and "praise" goes to the highest bidder. When is the last time you looked to a TIME magazine article review and thought "I trust TIME, take my money"?

Bought and paid for like a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.

I enjoyed the movie outside of the Minecraft world, I want a sequel to see more of the real world. It had that Napoleon Dynamite quirk kinda like a Wes Anderson movie that was great until we went full Minecraft, I wanted more and to live in that "real world" longer. I doubt we get that.

I have never played a F2P and do not play any multiplayer "game" but to even me, who has no idea how these loot pass box season schemes even work, the so-called perks look like entry level stuff you could acquire free in many other ways or items that are cosmetic. The cosmetic stuff makes no sense. You'd think the players wearing the "perks" would be like wearing a target in game. Am I wrong? Does anyone actually use these?

Sidenote: how many actual Xbox owners with GP ultimate actually play Fortnight? I don't play anything mp or mp online, I only realized Fortnite was available for Xbox with this new GP announcement, been a US Xbox player since inception, never FN mentioned in any context with Xbox.(Also never played Fortnite, so I may have no clue what I am talking about)

How about how my security was violated when MS raised GP prices then decided not to make consoles anymore? That news too fresh?

Some simple math and google you'll find the majority of the games available can be had new/used physical or on sale digital, in it's near library entirety for less than 1 or 2 months of GP ultimate if you try hard enough and you do not need any tier of GP to install and play. Games like Assassin's Creed will take at least a week of play to complete achievements/100%. The maths don't math in the value or necessity department. Easy cancel.

My random decision to cancel any form of GP last month, looks better every week. I'm finding my backlog is full of great games and really brought the fun back to gaming.

Nothing on Game Pass that's for sure. I'll be finishing up the achievements in Achilles Survivor and moving onto finishing Star Wars Outlaws from the backlog, possibly starting Hell Is Us.

I really dislike this feature and wish I could remove it. I wish I could remove a lot of things from the dashboard, I'd pay for a Game Pass that didn't offer any games but would stop trying to advertise and suggest stuff to me. Heck, I'd pay for Game Pass to go away and we go back to a physical only console.

Damn Shame Tony Hawk drops in this Xbox purge, probably pick it up on Switch 2 as I won't be Day One on GamePass ever again.

Fatal Fury:COTW and picking up 3 of the last 10 games(as of today) I need to complete my North American physical Xbox One collection of normal releases(non-special editions if possible). Ramped up collecting last two years for Xbox and nearly completed right as the company goes tits up. Value just tripled, thanks MS.

@MaseSco Hot Wheels Unleashed was hot trash. You enjoyed falling off the track like the entire game was Rainbow Road? Unleashed 2 got a bit better. Personally not a fan of rally games however I have played a few and researched many as I love the racing game as a genre and the majority have mostly seemed to be featureless or control awfully or just plain boring, Rally is not racing it's time trials and that's just not what I wanna spend my $79.99 on these days, the motorcycle games haven't been good since OG Xbox. Has anyone on console ever completed a lap yet in Ride 5, SBK or MotoGP this year? Make racing games and arcade racers again, not cart racing, not rally, not motorcycles with wheels of ice. All we have is rally and rally is boring.

@JayJ TDU has not made much if any improvements, it just doesn't crash anymore on consoles and the AI rubber band was made a bit longer.

In honor of the Xbox 360 not having cloud based services, how about making all those lousy streaming laggy Activision games MS just shat out to GP, downloadable and actually fun to play?

No way, PGR never got the handling right. Great videos on YouTube about this topic. If you're bringing something back from Xbox past it better start with OUT and end with RUN, the still gorgeous Outrun 2006 or how about the Curly Monsters one hit wonder Quantum Redshift, MS own Midtown Madness, Motocross Madness, Sega Rally, DAYTONAAAA! Ridge Racer 6 or the unbound one, Full Auto, Forza before the Xbox One, at least 20 franchises, one offs, remakes or sequels I wanna see before boring reused PGR series.

I cannot play more than a few minutes of any of the games no many how many times I try. Duck, cover and reload becomes so tedious in just a few minutes of gameplay, I never understood the popularity outside the pretty graphics. I prefer my active reload to be inactive in gaming.

Nacon and Milestone have cooperatively ruined console racing games and I blame them for the state of cheap featureless, poorly optimized and downright boring racing games. Codemasters hasn't turned out anything good since EA took over, not a fan but word is F1 games stink worse each year.

Someone(Burnout and former NFS and Playground Devs) needs to kick racing in the ass and put out a full featured fun Cruisin' or Rush style game, another Burnout, Midtown Madness, Midnight Club, Sega anything and stat. This is horrible news for racing and driving fans.

Same sale on the same games every 5th week or so.

Bam Margera would lick coffee grounds off the floor of a Starbucks for $20 and 5 more minutes of fame. No surprise he agreed to anything...

You shouldn't do this but let me tell you how to find advice on how-to do this in our comments should you choose to do what we clearly stated how to do what not to do.

Works great btw ...

Not recommended. Lovecraft has become The Walking Dead in gaming. Tired, wasn't that interesting to begin with, never fleshed out or poorly written and goes absolutely nowhere without finishing the story started years before. Where's the games based on Phillip K. Dick, Robert Heinlein or even Kurt Vonnegut stories? Give me a Slaughterhouse Five fishing tournament.

Thank you! Good riddance Game Pass and the buck passed down in savings to the consumer... haha.

@Cobra Sony is doing their form of GP right Also waaaayyyy better selection of games and stuff we'd never see on Xbox and not just 1st party Sony titles, all kinds of titles that will never see an Xbox.

@Ricky-Spanish I have a disposable income for gaming, I don't need "free" games I need to be able to what I want, how I want, when I want. I don't want anyone picking out "free" games for me. The GamePass selection is awful.

Please please please give us back Gold or an option that just allows me to download my digital games and play online without some forced "pass" with games I don't wanna play or some agenda pushed on me. Let me play the games I paid for without your "not for me" service with useless perks for F2P games I don't need the service for and Anime for gooners.

I sometimes play more than 1 to 2 different games a DAY Phillip and almost always games that are not on GP.

Skiiiiiiiip! So long and thanks for all the fish, Bungie.

Shiz sale. Inflated sale prices. There's always the Summer Of Arc... Oh wait... Summer Sal... Nope. Flash... Lol... A game pass perk and actual sale prices for members?!? Never happen.

Yawn. Gimme a Blood Wake sequel, a Crimson Skies MMOPVP, something anything Halo, Forza Horizon 1 remake, DOA Xtreme XXXBox, Shaun Murray Wakeboarding 2, NFL Fever NeXt, CONTRABAND and Project Gotham Racing 4.

Bring back Voodoo Vince or Blinx or heck even Malice. So many better and originally Xbox IPs than riding someone else's creation and honestly successes.

Banjo is lame, with horribly ugly characters and world design and it always felt like cheating playing a sequel on Xbox. How about back to the psuedo original Xbox mascot and remake/sequel Metal Arms? It sold best on the original Xbox and was used in all the ads back when the system dropped. Great fun too and deserved a sequel.

@redgrave0 YES! The entire series(PS2 and DS) on one disc would be amazing. Still pull out my 360 to play a round or two.

@RetroMan71 Burnout Revenge and I'd like both Midtown and Motocross Madness to make a return.

@Rog-X I think allowing reviews is excellent and wish Sony and Nintendo followed suit. I've been told I'm reasonably intelligent and can skim through the bogus agenda reviews, I look for certain comments and appreciate a decently thorough or thoughtful review. Especially for indie games or games fewer people would play. I respectfully disagree and think reviews should be available everywhere when it comes to my money and entertainment value.

I personally have 150+ reviews currently on the store.

CRACKDOWN!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!

Absolutely no interest in this. The only place I wanna play is at home on my nearly $2000 4k TV with the necessary VRR in my $500 chair using my $100 a month internet. Not on a potato in the middle of Shop 'n Save.

Clearly these are not "Just For You".

Looks alright, I personally would love to see a remake/sequel/remaster of QuackShot. The Donald Duck plunger hopping epic from the Sega Genesis.

Is Diablo actually successful on Xbox? I never see anyone have anything nice to say about it.
