MSR are the best thing about Xbox right now for me, I got my Series S with my phone upgrade with 3 months of GP thanks to MSR Im 1000 points from another 3 months for free.
I don't get why this is even news, yes they work at rival company's but I imagine they all get on great when they do see each other, there not like the people on social media who nail there flags to the mast of a particular plastic box and will die for it.
My February will be filled by Horizon Forbidden West. Of the 3 on there the one I'd be up for is Elden Ring but when after watching gameplay I can't decide if it's more Souls or Sekiro/Bloodborne, hopefully it's more the latter.
@UltimateOtaku91 I wouldn't have played it without Gamepass, same goes for Forza don't really play racing games, but I had a blast playing Halo Infinite it's not revolutionary but the gameplay loop was fun.
For as much as people won't accept it Sony have had "an answer" to Gamepass before Gamepass even existed in the shape of PSNow. At the base level there the exact same service (large selection of games that can be downloaded or streamed) Microsoft have made it the main feature of Xbox whereas Sony have pushed Now into the background and hardly given it a thought. The only thing that separates GP & Now is the day and date games but I can't see Sony doing that tbh.
It makes sense that they wouldn't keep making Xbox One's as they can make Series S consoles. It helps the S that it's not the same inside the box as the X unlike the two PS5 models (less a disc drive obviously)
For me personally they never lost it, Double Fine is still the studio I'm most excited about under the XGS Umbrella. The fact they won't have to kick-start games now is just sublime.
@Rural-Bandit when have I whined and I've never mentioned Halo? All im waiting on actual footage of the game I'm hoping that it's on a new engine rather than the modified one they've used since Morrowind, I have no doubt that Starfield will be a big deal given there track record of Elder Scrolls & Fallout but those games have massive flaws technically. I don't treat GP like a free hit I won't just play something because its part of the service.
@Rural-Bandit again not made by Bethesda and they were the ones who would have told MG to rush Wolfenstein just like they did with Obsidian for Fallout New Vegas. I don't remember any Bethesda developed games that have been polished right back to Oblivion on 360 and Skyrim still has the same bugs as it did back at launch in 2011 in the special editions for PS4/XB1. If your looking forward to Starfield after the CG teaser awesome but I need to see footage of it being played before it's even on my radar, the same with a lot of games that have been revealed with CG trailers over the last few years.
@PhhhCough says the guys who's instantly spouted numbers the called me a "real gamer", if its free as part of a subscription service that has what 20 million users that amount of players isn't a really a surprise I genuinely thought it would be more but it'll get there id imagine over the weekend

Re: Ghostwire Tokyo Xbox Release: When Is It Coming To Game Pass?
Much like Deathloop GP will get the best version of GW, every kink should be ironed out by then

Re: FromSoftware's Miyazaki Thinks 'More Players' Will Finish Elden Ring
@Spiders Sekiro was definitely easier than Bloodborne, I'm hoping it's more along the lines of those 2 I've never clicked with the Souls style.

Is that him saying it's easier than the standard FromSoft stuff?

Re: Bethesda Shares New Concept Art For Starfield
@Fenbops very much the same feeling here my dude
Re: Bethesda Shares New Concept Art For Starfield
@Rural-Bandit Deathloop wasn't Bethesda as a developer though Arkane made that
Re: Bethesda Shares New Concept Art For Starfield
Rather see gameplay, I really can't get to excited for Starfield I still get the feeling it's gonna be running on the same engine as Skyrim was.

Psychonauts 2 because it'll be criminally under played much like the first was.
Re: Microsoft Has Discounted The Xbox Series X|S 1TB Storage Card In The UK

Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Assassin's Creed Xbox Game?
Odyssey, then AC2
Re: Psychonauts 2 Developer Already Working On Multiple New Projects
In an ideal world it'll be Grim Fandango 2 or Brutal Legend 2 (without the RTS).

Re: Forza Horizon 5 Passes 4.5 Million Players, Biggest Launch Day In Xbox Game Studios History
Great numbers but surely it was to be expected given that its on GP at launch its a no risk play to try it out if your subbed up
