I was not a fan of the 50% increase, but this past year has been a feast for anyone that has Gamepass and enjoys playing a bit of everything. The amount of quality games has been the best this past year. Now they will have to match and possibly surpass that to show cause for the increase.
@HeavyHoggJP Gamepass isn't for everyone, I play all kinds of games and a bit of everything, so for me it's 100% worth it. This past year has been Absolutely Stacked. It has added a ton to my backlog. I'm enjoying my gaming
I tried Jusant when it released and ended up playing and completing it. It was a great different kind of game that I was glad to have the opportunity to experience.
I tried it on cloud gaming, nothing special to me but it's also nothing that interests me. To each their own, sounds like it has a fan base so hope you all enjoy your game. Keep on gaming
I played a decent amount of the first one but didn't finish it, but since they re added it to Gamepass Ill probably finish it eventually, maybe, probably. To me it just seems like the 1st one just came out not to long ago.
That's a complete lame comment stating they became uncool, sounds like they became uncool to them. Genres are subjective to the ones playing them, the players if he thought they were uncool then say that, don't assume all or most gamers felt that way...lol
Used to be a huge Gears fan, fell off the past 2 titles...Looking foward to Helldivers, Theres about 4 of us that will be playing it. Haven't gamed since we used to play SoT.
I liked this game and will definitely buy the dlc for it. This is the kind of content that needs to be released for people to buy if there game is on Gamepass. The dev from Raccoon Logic said he didn't get the extra sales for his dlc in his game. That dlc was nothing and not worth the price. Put out something that adds something to play and many with Gamepass will probably buy (dlc) it if they liked the game and game is still on Gamepass.
This is the 3rd time Epic has given Deathloop away for free. I got it the first time they gave it away for free. Its a solid game so having it available again is always good for everyone who didn't claim it the first 2 times. Also it's EPIC doing the giveaway.
I'm going to go with the 1st one. Just seemed like something special to me and I remember picking it up on day one at Gamestop. The good old days of physical media. Seems like it was a completely different era and time.
I have many games that have been added and a few more are coming out this month to my backlog. This game is 1 of them but is lower on my list but it is there. I should try it sooner rather than later bc its filling it fast and I don't have the time to play as I wish I had.
I've always been a Gamepass and Ultimate member. There is a TON of stuff that's been released and a lot of upcoming games as well. Just from Gamepass my backlog has grew significantly and will over the next few months.
For me South of Midnight is an okay game. Its not great and it's not bad. I am about halfway through it and it seems like the more I play it the bored I am becoming with it.
It's ridiculous that have actually released as few as they have so far. There are so many games if they released a couple every month I would be ok with that but NO.
@Kaloudz This has happened to me once I bought a game on sale and within a week it hits gamepass....lol...I've also had games that i almost bought but didn't and they ended up on gamepass soon after, that's always a pleasant suprise.
I have Gamepass and will definitely check it out. I liked Avowed very much so if this can be as much fun that would be cool. I guess I'll find out when it releases.
I have played about 5 hours of it and am enjoying it very much. This game is more fun and enjoyable for me then the last big 1st party title that was released.
They don't do a good job at letting players know that they even have free play weekends. You would think that one of the ad boxes they have would be dedicated to this kind of stuff or create a box for things like this or specials.
It's not going to run at 60 fps on any console this generation. They will add that update to the 10 year anniversary edition available for purchase in 2035/2036.
Gamepass is great, I've been subscribed since it came out. For me it's been worth it for sure. I have got to play and experience some great games because of it.
Death Stranding was on PC Gamepass it debuted in 2022, its not in PC gamepass anymore but has been available to buy on Xboxs PC gamepass and store since 2022.
That picture is night and day difference. The one looks so much better then the other. Wow, I am completely Wowed by the screenshot comparison. Just complete fidelity at its finest...Superb... not really

Re: Microsoft's New 'Buy One, Get One Free' Sale Features Plenty Of Xbox DLC
Cheaper to get them when there all actually on sale, but if you just have to have them now it's better then paying full price i guess.
