@Fiendish-Beaver I play on PS5/XSS and like I said PA has no impact on where I buy games. It only really matters to the people who play Xbox and either PC or handheld which you would have to imagine would be a niche group.

@fatpunkslim what are the facts? I play on multiple platforms if a game is available on both Xbox and PlayStation I always buy on the latter as its my preferred place to play. No amount of Play Anywhere will make me buy a multiplatform game on Xbox (which now includes games Xbox releases) making my Series S redundant as a place to play new games, which is a shame.
Are steam users all buying games from the MS store on PC because from what I've read games released there aren't Play Anywhere.

@fatpunkslim play anywhere isn't as huge a pull as you seem to think it is. Very few people play across Xbox, PC or handheld. If Fable is the tink sink I'm hoping it would be playing on game pass would cost me more than buying it and do you really think Playground will release a worse experience because it's not on an Xbox device?

@acmiguens yeah if you have the points get it cheaper, only makes sense

@acmiguens I have the same set up and I'm 100% getting the PS5 version, if it was only on Xbox I would have played through on Series S but I'm glad it's on the other box as well.

If you haven't given NG Ragebound a shot, it's an amazing game.

Oh yeah Beast Of Reincarnation completely forgot about that, nice.

@LordDieALot I played 114 hours of DS2 it absolutely flew by

Knock off a few of the back log before I get into anything new, same every year but I still have things in there from years ago. Finished Shovel Knight on the 1st which I started 6 years ago, so it's a start.

@themightyant like the article says you can't fault the team at Xbox who's picking things to go on & making the deals for GP.

@Weebleman and you wouldn't know because it's not constantly talked about unlike anything being in game pass.

@BAMozzy I know how game pass works, I don't need it explaining. I understand the value of publicizing there inclusion but it's not down to game pass that they've had success. I'd also not come here console warring either, but they weren't included for all subscribers.

If you don't think people are claiming them as wins for Xbox & Microsoft just jump onto twitter and have a look. There taking like they aren't on any other platform.

Really odd the way people are claiming E33 and Blue Prince as wins for Xbox purely because someone offered them a bag for GP inclusion.

It's a shame what Xbox as a platform has become two million machines in a year is shocking.

Death Stranding 2 or Ninja Gaiden Ragebound for me, but Ghost Of Yotei has been great so far.

That handheld is gonna be a grand at this rate isnt it

Wonder if this was supposed to be in the much rumoured Sony show that's due any time soon?

This is great news but id love a sequel to Grim Fandango or Stacking along with new things.

Still love that the Berserker achievement is a nod to Clerks

I dont really get how anyone could look at the current generation of consoles (Xbox & PlayStation) and think we need new consoles. Feels like its barely got going.

@Casco do you think they (& other devs) agreed to a game pass bag because they weren't confident of it actually selling there? You might as well get some guaranted money if you don't think people on the platform will buy it.

I genuinely think FH5 will clear all those day one on PS5.

It to be more in line with Asylum or City than Knight. I loved AK but I'd rather have a focused story over the big open world.

Mega Man, it's time we got a new entry.

He does hit his fair share of 180's so it could cost Microsoft a few quid you know

If you haven't play it, so good. Should we be surprised that it's good on Series S? I played it at launch on PS4 and it ran amazingly in my experience, makes sense that it'll be great on S.

Mass Effect 2 but I really did love Jade Empire on the original Xbox

@FraserG yeah stick of truth is the better game for me as well, shame we never got a third RPG with the amount they mentioned RDR2 in the show I'd imagine it would have been cowboy based.

Play it if you haven't it's great!!

DOOM & DOOM Eternals reversible covers are awesome hopefully we get another for The Dark Age

Is there any demand for a pro Xbox? They aren't exactly selling like hot cakes are they?

Should really say GP Ultimate next to the first party games on there. I could see some moron filing a case for false advertising cos they aren't in standard.

@BlueSheepz there both coming to PlayStation & Switch as well, makes way less sense to release a niche Trilogy on Xbox then completely miss some of the biggest fighting game collections.

@abe_hikura @ValentineMeikin seems like it's just a case of unless it's in game pass it doesn't sell well enough to bother, give them a bag of cash or it ain't coming.

I'm wondering how much it has to actually do with MT Framework for Xbox versions as the first CFC is available on the console.

Thanks for the heads up I thought ONL was Thursday for some reason

Can't afford to advertise games can but arses on controllers 😄

It was on 360 but The Club was an amazing pick up and play game

When I got back into the Xbox ecosystem in 2021 I was massively into the rewards system, kept me in GP for 2 years (and got me a few gift cards as well) once they started to mess around with it/butchering how many points you could earn I stopped completely I still have 24000 points on my account that I'm gonna use for a couple of months of GP - if it's still part of the rewards - when Indy & Avowed come out.

Highly recommend Robocop Rouge City if anyone hasn't given it a shot more than worth it at 50% off

Minervas Den from Bioshock 2 is pretty amazing, Old Hunters from Bloodborne is also excellent.

15/10 all killer, no filler for me personally. Even the things I wouldn't usually touch had me pretty interested.

This alone has made it a minimum of an 8/10 show for me, everything else is a bonus.

@BacklogBrad 4 times in 4 years is hardly a lot. One of them was a demo to show off the "power" of Series X, one was her looking into a puddle and then you had a couple of game play trailers that lasted about 9 minutes in total. Not advertising a game is putting it out to die, to use Redfall as an example when they were showing it off with a section of gameplay that didn't represent the final product was that games biggest downfall not it being advertised.

@ConsoleGamer86 They shouldn't be putting games day one on gamepass.

@Kooky_Geezer I am genuinely worried about Ninja Theory & ID to be honest with you, seen more marketing for Sea Of Thieves on PS5 than anything that's been put for Xbox.

Why don't they release some more game play or actually start to advertise it?

Give it a shot, I managed to find it for a fiver in the supermarket and I had a decent time with it.

No because I've played them already. If they actually go ahead and start putting everything there I could see myself buying Indy (I know they've said no but the way they talk you can never really believe anything MS say).

My 2 year will be happy with Bluey (love the show myself tbh)
