I’ve stopped buying games on Xbox because, at some point, they will only be available by streaming on other platforms …if I’m lucky

I believed in Phil, because he was a gamer, and a good egg. Now… Xbox, with particular regard to hardware, looks to be in a place that it’s not coming back from

Dear Xbox, Activision, etc…

Please, please, please bring back the career mode in THPS4… open world (ish) skateboarding? What’s not to love?!

RIP Forza Horizon 4, you ignited my love of gaming for the first time since I put down the Arkham trilogy

Inevitable but still gutted. FH4 was my first foray into Horizon and I loved it, still play it daily now

And the accolade for the Pride Race? Playground? Where have you gone?!

Bored now.

RIP Kevin Conroy.

I’ve been digital only since my Xbox One. I don’t miss physical media at all but I’ll go so far as one subscription for games and Co am very happy with Game Pass. I’m not adding a bolt on for every Tom, Dick & Harry out there. Just the one subscription for music and three for TV/movies (two are likely to get cut upon renewal this year) but that’s it. I haven’t the time to make use of every subscription service out there - quality over quantity - and Ubisoft haven’t a huge no. Of games/franchises in their favour. I can live without Assassin’s Creed if needed…

It’s a brilliant idea, occasionally flawed in its execution. FH4 used to work great with quick resume, not so great nowadays. Sadly, FH5 has never gelled with it.

Absolutely gutted about this. Free Radical were an amazing studio and I would have loved to see them complete their comeback. Phil? Are you there? Got any change leftover from the ActiBlizz purchase?!

…and I will buy it …when they keep their promise and actually provide an offline mode

Poppycock & shangdangery

I really liked FH5… but there was something about the Rally Adventure expansion which was just better than the base game. Smaller, more interesting map to drive. Great, engaging courses to race. More, please.

Also, FH4 was and is amazing.

I don’t care what needs to be done but Transformers and Tony Hawks - relicensed, revitalised, revamped, etc etc etc

@PeteW I only noticed because I’d made the same mistake 🤦🏻‍♂️

@PeteW It needs to be New Super Lucky’s Tale and not just Super Lucky’s Tale - both available on Game Pass

I’m looking forward to this but for me, it’s just one step closer to the next iteration of Horizon.

I played Warzone (Verdansk) during covid and enjoyed it. Lost any interest in Warzone 2.0 when they confirmed that the handful of cosmetics I’d bought wouldn’t transfer over. Kinda wish they’d taken a cue from Valve’s transition from Counter-Strike to Counter-Strike 2 - i.e. anything you’ve paid for, you can carry on using, etc

I had a similar issue with Fallen Order. 23% through the game and all lost - I just walked away. Hoped it wouldn’t be a recurring thing with its sequel.

Always happy with more Horizon DLC but I’m not feeling the excitement at the minute. Hot Wheels was great but didn’t have much replay value & fell flat quickly. Regardless, I’ll be giving it a go upon release.

I’d settle for a realistic timeframe… announce a game now for 2027 if you like so long as its release date doesn’t slip again & again or it doesn’t release in a half finished, way below par state

Dear Playground, having taken such a positive step, any chance of the first three Horizon entries and DLC bring relisted? Thanks in advance, hugs and kisses

ps Phil… game preservation and all that jazz. Please ensure Forza’s widely available from now forever more.

Dear Playground (because you’re obviously reading this)… please, please, please relist previous delisted FH games and all DLC content for the anniversary - celebrate the anniversary by embracing the legacy. I’d love to finally finish what I’ve not been able to. Thanks in advance

(I know it’s not going to happen but damn it, I’m happy in the hope it might happen one day)

Bah!! Glad to have it back (very glad, in fact) but surely some quality of life updates such as online multiplayer wouldn’t have been asking too much

Hell, yeah!! Finally…

Goldeneye …because it’s eventually going to happen

@Stocksy I like the Hot Wheels stuff but at times, it’s too much like being stuck on rails - I appreciate the freedom of the other expansions

@PushButtons I refuse to give up my 360 for the delisted games installed on there, unavailable on any console since

TMNT: The Arcade Game, TMNT IV: Turtles in Time, The Simpsons Arcade Game, X-Men Arcade Game, Eets

Oh, XBLA, where have you gone? In an age where Xbox is “leading” the field in game preservation, where are all my favourites?!

I’d also welcome FH for the 360 on BC too

What better way to celebrate the release of Hot Wheels for FH5 than by rereleasing the DLC for both FH2 and FH3? C’mon, Playground, make it happen…

Loving FH5 but still waiting for them to fix FH4’s seasonal playlists - 94% each week…

Forza Horizon 5. Now having to restart it every time I use QR. Fantastic game, amazing feature - incredibly shonky coupling.

TMMT: The Arcade Game and TMNT: Turtles in Time 🙏🏻
