Thanks, @FraserG. Found it. Unfortunately, prices aren't that great for the games I'm interested in. I'll wait until they go on sale individually closer to the lowest ever prices you have listed about.
I don't understand how some people think being upfront and honest is a bad thing. It's silly for these shows to imply a game is exclusive only to find out minutes after the show that it's multiplatform. The criticism should be directed at Nintendo and Sony for continuing to be disingenuous.
This is corporate speak for "we're giving hardcore fans what they want - exclusives. But that means we're going to need to have layoffs, studio closures and smaller budget games to make up for lost revenue". Can't blame her, but that's the reality.
New backwards compatibility games and expanding Xbox Play Anywhere to older games are big ones for me.
It should be easy for Xbox to at least add older first party games that are already on console and PC to Play Anywhere so we only need to buy once to get both versions.
I guess they already announced there would be more backwards compatibility games and hopefully they'll announce some at the upcoming summer event.
I gave up on Rewards after they blocked me from redeeming my points. I never violated the rules (did not use bots, etc) but used all the methods they offered. I can't even redeem points earned from game purchases. 4 months now they've blocked me and I just get automated responses when I reach out to them.
@Fiendish-Beaver Understood and agree. To be fair, MSFT really can't divulge the number sold as Asus is the manufacturer and would need to provide MSFT with that information and permission to share with the public.

Re: Roundup: The Results From Our Xbox Games Showcase 2026 Predictions
I think some predictions you got "wrong" were actually just things they are going to announce at shows later this year.

This deal must only be in the UK. Not seeing it here in the US.

Re: Poll: So, Is Forza Horizon 6 Your Favourite Game Of 2026 So Far?
Enjoying so far, but too early to say. Definitely up there with RE Requiem and Pragmata as my favorite games this year.
Re: Xbox's New Chief Strategy Officer Is Planning To 'Revive Storied Franchises'
@Balaam_
Yeah, maybe he's referring to bringing new Halo titles, instead of just remasters, Forza Motorsport and/or Project Gotham Racing.
I think you're also correct about bringing back some Activision titles as well - another Singularity game would be great.

Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages Director Says Upcoming DLC Is 'Like A Sequel'
I just upgraded to the Premium Edition last week because it was on sale for a little over $11 and I figured it should be coming out soon.
Re: Deals: Dead Island 2 + All DLC Is Less Than $7 On Xbox Right Now
This was a surprisingly good game and one of the few that I have replayed completely.
Re: Death Stranding Director's Cut Gets Huge Player Bump Thanks To Xbox Game Pass
@Daffy-Duck I always bounce between 3-4 games at a time. Different genres for the most part.

Re: Xbox Developer Direct Has Always Had A Surprise, But What About January 2026's Showcase?
Fallout 3 Remaster or State of Decay 3 seem the most likely shadow drops.
Of course, it could be an unannounced third party title again that shows up on Game Pass.
Re: ASUS Sparks Fears Of Potential Price Increase For The ROG Xbox Ally
@TheGameThrifter - no one is buying them? You do know the first batch sold out before launch and is just getting replenished now?
