@Tasuki Well, you are in luck because there is a PS4 version, physical and digital.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 will also be available for Switch 1 & 2, and Steam.
So take your pick!

I might try it out on game pass, but I'm not a fan of using the Xbox controller with Tony Hawk games because of all the button mashing I do for the combos. Those bubble shaped hard plastic buttons, just aren't comfortable for those kind of games. In my opinion. So I'll be picking up a copy for PS5 later on.

If I didn't already own it, I'd take a free copy.

Plus, I have the Steam versions and physical copies for Switch & PS4. So I'm good!

The Metro series is great! I'm looking forward to the next installment.

A great month indeed! I actually dusted off the old Series X today after about 6 months of no playtime. Renewed my GPU subscription for 3 months and downloaded a bunch of games to keep me busy for a while.

Microsoft is finally giving me a reason to give the PS5 Pro & Steam Deck OLED a break!

I'm looking forward to Doom The Dark Ages & THPS 3+4 in the coming months.

Nice for those of you who prefer to play on Xbox.

I already have all the games on disc for PS4 and digital on Steam.

However, I will take physical copies for Switch, though.

Keep them hits coming Remedy. And I will continue to support with day 1 purchases. With Rockstar involved I'm sure Max Payne 1+2 will have a physical release. But please don't make us wait until a year after release to print physical copies of Control 2 like you did with Alan Wake 2.

Yeah, too little too late Microsoft. I don't play Call of Duty. Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Tony Hawk, & Diablo I've owned on multiple platforms for quite some time now.

But it's good for those who don't own these games...

@dskatter, I agree. Besides the controller, that's one of the reasons why I buy almost all of my physical games on PS5 instead of Series X. I want the Series X version on the disc, not the Xbox One version.

Unfortunately, those are few and far between. The last physical copies I bought for Series X are Resident Evil 4 Remake & Dead Space Remake because they don't have Xbox One versions.

It's not a big deal to me. Xbox controllers have always been terrible for fighting games since the original console. I've never been a fan of the hard plastic bubble shaped A/B/X/Y buttons on any of their controllers.

For that reason alone, I will always choose Playstation or Nintendo for any of my fighting games, plus at least both of those platforms still receive physical releases.

If I didn't already have an Xbox I'd get the 2TB Series X.
My current Series X is fine with a 2TB Seagate Card & 8TB HDD.

I'll be fine until the Xbox handheld and next Gen system releases.

Bring on the PS5 Pro.

I gave the game a chance a few times co-op with a friend, but having our progress deleted both times we logged in to play killed our motivation to continue.

I picked up a physical copy a few months ago for $10 still sealed. Mabey it'll be worth something someday. Probably not.

Not exciting since I have it for 360, PS4, & Switch already.

I really want RDR1 to come to Steam instead. So I can play it on my Steam Deck oled at 60fps with gyro aiming!

Such a great trilogy of games! I recently played through all 3 on my Steam Deck OLED and had a blast, especially using gyro to aim and look around made it much more of an enjoyable experience to me over the Playstation & Xbox versions years ago.

I have an XSX and choose performance all of the time!

Sometimes, I'll go back and forth between performance and quality modes to see if I can tell much of a difference in visual quality. I usually can't, but the difference between 60/30fps is obviously noticeable.

I definitely go with 120fps if the option is available. DOOM Eternal, Overcooked 2, & Mad Max come to mind.

After recently playing through the Tomb Raider trilogy on my Steam Deck OLED, it's safe to say these games hold up well.

Shadow is the weakest of the 3, but it's still a good experience none the less.

Put Persona 3 Reload on hold for now to finish up Soul Hackers 2, which has been on my Series X for almost a year. Even though I own the game on disc for PS5. Same with Tales of Arise. I'll play them again on Series X for achievements. And so I don't feel like I downloaded them for nothing.

Dead Island 2 was a surprise hit last year! I didn't expect much since the game was in development hell for so long. The FLESH system is cool! A breath of fresh air after the disappointment of Dying Light 2.

Flawless performance on Series X is what i like to hear!
These games are so time consuming. Thankfully this time around I have a Steam Deck to grind away through dungeons via Xcloud & enjoy the main story on my LG OLED tv.

P3R will keep me busy for a while. I'm also looking forward to Open Roads. And maybe Plate Up. I think Soul Hackers 2 will be leaving the service soon, so I should try to finish it here within the next few weeks...

I have around 200 physical games across all 4 Xbox console generations. Only 5 of them are Series X games (Elden Ring, Far Cry 6, Callisto Protocol, Dead Space, & Resident Evil 4)

Most of my physical games are purchased on PS5 & Switch.

I prefer physical over digital but my Series X is mostly used for backwards compatible and Game Pass games. Hopefully Microsoft continues to release games on disc. But I'm sure they will be the first to go all cloud & digital sooner than later...

Yes, please. A revision is much needed for the Xbox controllers. I love my Elite Series 2, but the standard Xbox controller, not so much. The ABXY buttons make my thumb sore after a while with certain games (Gears). Make those buttons flat and less noisy. The rumble is dated. Using AA batteries is fine. Gyro would be great and hopefully make it more of a standard going forward.

Just one more reason why I prefer multi-plats on PS5 over my Series X.
The Dualsense Controller has been a game changer this Gen. Besides battery life, everything about the Dualsense is better! It's my favorite controller of all time! The Switch Pro controller is right behind it.

The Xbox 360 controller is amazing and Microsoft improved upon it with the Xbox One/Series controller. But Sony passed them up with the Dualshock 4 and even more so with the Dualsense.

So far, so good. I'm about 4 hours in. Played 2 hours on my Steam Deck through the cloud with gyro aiming and another 2 hours on my Series X to see how it looks on my OLED display. While the game truly shines graphically on my 4K TV, of course, I kinda prefer to play in handheld mode with gyro controls. Either way, I have a better chance to get through this game with the option to play in portable mode.

@DJKingaling Yeah, it's unfortunate. I'm hoping at least Limited Run will step in and give it a physical release. I'd love to have Alan Wake Remastered on cart for Switch as well 🤞.

I really want to support Remedy & Alan Wake with a day 1 purchase, but the lack of a physical release means I'll be waiting for a big price drop.

Even with October's packed month full of releases, I would have picked this up.
Any word on if Remedy responded to THQ Nordic's offer to make a physical version available?

Sad news to wake up to this morning. After almost 20 years, we knew it would go away someday. I have most of the 360 games I like on disc already, but a list of games you can only purchase on the 360 store would be appreciated.

At first, I thought BC OG Xbox & 360 games would no longer be available for purchase on the store for Series X/S, but I'm glad to see that's not the case. I'll have to buy a 2TB external HDD and hook up the old 360 slim to buy all the games that will be gone by this time next year.

Guess I'll start downloading it today while I'm playing Fallout New Vegas.
I have around 1TB of space left on my SSD card, so there is no issue with the file size.
With all the hype around this release, I'm looking forward to the reviews.

@ZuneTattooGuy I've purchased and played Outer Worlds 3 times (One X, PS5, Switch). It's really good. I'm looking forward to Outer Worlds 2 👍.

Hopefully, I'll have Fallout New Vegas finished by then (such a great game), which is even better on Series X thanks to the fps boost. If Starfield is anything like New Vegas, I'm sure to be in for a treat.

Xbox One disc and no gyro support means I won't be ordering a physical copy for my Series X. I'll order copies for PS5 & Switch instead.

With Smart delivery for disc versions of Xbox games, I don't buy many physical copies for my Series X. I prefer to have the Series X version on disc (Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, Callisto Protocol, ect)

Gyro should be a standard (optional) for most games. If Microsoft included gyro sensors and their controllers by now, I'm sure it would be. Even Sony is starting to embrace gyro more with some first party releases (GOW Ragnarok, TLOU Part 1, Horizon Forbidden West) I don't game on PC but the Steam Deck has me interested with it's built in gyro support. I'm holding out in hopes of an OLED Steam Deck revision. But yeah, using a standard thumbstick to aim in shooters doesn't have the same precision vs thumbstick/gyro together.

I almost pre-ordered the Collector's Edition because of the watch, lol.
But I resisted and went with the controller and headset instead.

After recently upgrading to the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, I don't regret missing out on this watch now.

I played a little bit yesterday on my Series X, and it's amazing! Super smooth 120fps really is a game changer for fps games.

Same with Quake 1, I'll be picking up physical copies of Quake 2 for Switch & PS5. The Game Pass version will do until then.

If only the Xbox version had gyro support, oh well, at least the PS5 & Switch versions do. Microsoft really needs a controller revision.

@docjcj Yeah! I have physical copies of all of them except ReCore, but I played it on Game Pass and really enjoyed it. I prefer physical over digital, but lately, I've been buying digital versions of games I already own if the price is low enough.

I used $50 worth of credit I received through the Samsung Galaxy/ Xbox promotion they had going a few weeks ago and purchased...

Fallout 4 Game of the year edition
Deus Ex Mankind Divided
Mad Max
Prey Deluxe edition
Overcooked 2 gourmet edition
ReCore

Gotta have all of those FPS Boosted games for my Series X.

I just redeemed mine, I appreciate the link.

I upgraded to the digital version for $10 last year on PS5 and picked up a physical copy for $20. The ray-tracing, 60fps, adaptive triggers, and haptics alone make the upgrade worth it.
I'll download the Series X version when it's available on Game Pass and pick up a physical copy for the collection in the future.

I'll be playing it day 1 on my Series X thru Game Pass. 30fps isn't a deal breaker to me, but it would be nice to at least have a 40fps option for those of us who have 4K hdmi 2.1 tv's. Of course, I'd love to have a 60fps performance mode even if the resolution was at 1080p or so. Either way, I'm looking forward to playing it.

@Scummbuddy Use hand sanitizer before picking up a controller.
It keeps my hands and controllers clean, even after long gaming sessions.

Mine was delivered today along with the headset. I'm satisfied with my purchase, but I'll continue to use my Elite Series 2 controller and standard Xbox headset. The Starfield controller and headset will be displayed on my shelf.

@Mastodon3954 I just started Planet of Lana, and so far, so good. Most of the games I buy are physical, and I usually pick up multiplats on PS5.
Unless it's something I love like RE4 Remake, Dead Space Remake, Callisto Protocol, ect. Then I'll double dip for Xbox & Playstation and Switch sometimes as well.

Game Pass & PS Plus Premium are such great deals they give me a reason to play games I probably wouldn't or missed out on due to playing other stuff.

I've never heard of Blue Oyster Cult so no it isn't. I appreciate the reply, though. Happy gaming!

Games like this are what makes Game Pass worth it to me. The beautiful watercolor art style caught my attention, so I had to download it on my Series X. I'll probably play it after Planet of Lana.

It's such a beautiful controller design along with the headset. I had to order both. Already shipped out and will be delivered tomorrow. I'll probably never use the controller, though because my preferred controller to use with my Series X is the Elite Series 2.

My controller & headset will be here Wednesday.

I'll play Starfield thru Game Pass day 1 and if I like it enough, I'll buy a physical copy for the collection.

If it had a disc drive, I'd buy one as a secondary console. But I'm fine with my Series X. However, I did order the Starfield controller and headset.

I need 4TB for my Series X & PS5. My 2TB SSDs are already full.

I gave in and bought the 2tb card earlier this year for my Series X when it was on sale for $350. It's still way overpriced compared to the 2tb SSD I got for my PS5 for $180. I hate deleting and transferring games back and forth. Hopefully, a 4tb card will be announced soon. I'm still waiting for a decent price to upgrade my PS5 SSD to 4tb also.

Very underrated game. Platinumed it on PS5 and now I'm playing it again on Series X. My TV supports VRR & 120hz so I play on high frame rate with v sync. It's pretty smooth for the most part. However the Dualsense Edge is a game changer and so much more immersive with the haptics and adaptive triggers. So I prefer to play Ghostwire on PS5 over Xbox any day.

I need to go back and get the rest of the achievements/trophies for Series X & PS5 anyway. One of the best games of 2022 in my opinion. While 40fps is fine, I was hoping to see a 60fps option. Better late than never.

Sold my black Xbox One X to a friend when I was able to upgrade to a Series X Christmas 2021. I also had a brand new Gears 5 One X but ended up giving that to my nephew's, which I kinda wish I would have kept. I still have my PS4 Pro. But after upgrading to a PS5 & Series X that pretty much made my PS4 Pro & One X obsolete. I can't go back to the slow load times & 30fps gaming of last gen.

@NEStalgia That's strange it's only being taken away from Game Pass. I thought it wouldn't be available digitally also. At least it's only temporary.

I haven't played Quantum Break in years but a 60fps patch and or sequel announcement would make me want to revisit it.
