@Banjo- @themightyant If you check out the current Ubisoft sale while logged in (on console/desktop etc.) certain titles should show up with the extra discounts. Do bare in mind one of us here only got one deal on their account (I have like 4 or 5 discounts).

@Tharsman Far Fry - a Far Cry out-in-the-wild cooking sim? I'd play that!

@Lupaie79 This is a fan-made roadmap aimed at giving us a rough idea of the schedule! MS hasn't provided any sort of official roadmap.
Hopefully we get Forza & Starfield dates soon.

@CraigDigsTrains Yep. I tried installing the X|S version to my console via the app, still doesn't work. Sadly the enhanced version is only a part of more expensive bundles and it's just the XB1 version that's free this weekend.

@Savage_Joe I wouldn't say that's the full reason, but I've been saying since announcement that it's not a great name. It's unwieldy & just a bit odd isn't it?

Quantum Break was easily as good as Control imo, if not better!

@NEStalgia Appreciate the heads up but it's actually a direct quote from the store page! Ultimately I'm not super familiar with the series so I figured it best to stick a quote in there.
Any further issue pls take it up with Bandai Namco... 🤣

@Fiendish-Beaver Maverick Games is an independent studio right now and is not under Xbox. We're not sure on platforms yet, we'd assume the plan is multi-platform unless they strike a deal somewhere along the line! This is all very early on right now.

@themightyant @themcnoisy Agree on most of this. FH5 is technically great and still a fantastic game but FH4's map just feels more cohesive. Also the roads in FH4 make for great racing routes, FH5's are a bit more generic open road vibe.

@awp69 Blizzard Mountain, for me, was cool on paper but driving in those conditions just got annoying after a while. I prefer a down-to-earth DLC that I want to keep going back to, I haven't touched BM since launch.

Mentioning old Far Cry & Stalker has me very much looking forward to this one. Can't wait to try it on Game Pass!

@Cherip-the-Ripper godspeed

@Kaloudz The normal time slot has come and gone :/ I've posted about the new addition anyway!

@ironcrow86 This is the cheapest Legion has ever been, so price wise, you're looking good. As for the game itself, I enjoyed it more than most and London is a real treat to look at. Worth it imo!

@UltimateOtaku91 I would say you don't need to play Wildlands first. There's potentially some carry over story-wise (I haven't played Breakpoint myself) but from what I played of Wildlands it's more about the emergent gameplay than any sort of deep storyline. Good deal at 85% off!

@Kaloudz Not usually but this week could be different if Xbox is a little slow waking from its holiday slumber...
I'm in the same boat as you there, will bring the roundup as soon as it comes!

@Kaloudz Nope, we're still waiting 😩 Stranded Deep was shadow dropped, no roundup just yet.
https://www.purexbox.com/news/2023/01/stranded-deep-becomes-2023s-first-xbox-game-pass-addition-january-3

@UnusedBabyWipes Hopefully confirmed soon via an official roundup from Xbox! For now, it's just Stranded Deep

@EliJapan I believe it refers to the final holiday sale as lots of stuff is reduced around this time of year.

@EliJapan I totally forgot 360 games were to keep! Yeah, that's a bummer

@Sebatrox I believe it's the site's compression when uploaded on our end. The source images are 3840x2160.

@stvevan It's mainly due to regional price differences/currencies making things a little messy. With this amount of deals it's doable, but sometimes we're listing quite a lot of them and then it gets complicated & time consuming

@Clyde_Radcliffe Great game, sadly Team Sonic Racing was a bit pants. I don't think Transformed is 4K, just 60fps? Looks a bit blurry to me 😩

@raftos Hey! No, it's not a part of Game Pass but for some reason it's showing as being extra discounted for Game Pass members. The store appears to take another £1 or so off when signed in as a GP member!

@Lup Yep, Xbox usually runs one last huge sale that runs up to the new year. Last year's promotion went live on December 17th, so this year's could be later this week!

@Clankylad The idea of 2 is great, on paper it sounds really interesting. But, in my experience it's just not that fun, there's too much awkwardness within its systems and its world. I never managed to finish it...

@MaccaMUFC Yep. I think the modern weaponry and the smaller maps do make it quite a lot more accessible than HLL though. More combat and less sprinting through empty spaces

@TheGrimOne None taken, I was genuinely curious! No need to apologise, let's blame MS's dodgy console naming conventions 😄

@TheGrimOne what's misleading?

@Raffles Yeah, it's a beauty!

@armondo36 Hey there's Flight Sim, and... The Medium? 😄

@FatalBubbles It's cross-gen so, you'd think 60 is possible on Series X|S?! Hopefully anyway...

@Titntin FH4 is the GOAT

@Tharsman The rumour is that 2023 will be a gap year, with MW2 potentially getting two years of support before Treyarch come back into the fold. Not confirmed though, so we'll have to wait and see!

@Non_Toxic_Camper I'm assuming its involves driving... I did think of bringing it up but thankfully it doesn't detract from the campaign overall.

@Nightcrawler71 You can uninstall parts of the game with MW2 (as you have been able to in the last few CODs) but I believe you have to download the whole thing first and then start removing. MW2 is about 85gb right now, for the full thing.

@Moist_Raine Yeah, I'd love to see some sort of collection of some of those older games. Basically a modernised way of enjoying classic TR in some fashion

@somnambulance Personally I haven't played through the Remaster, but I too think the 360 version is still solid. The resolution is low, but man, with FPS Boost it really does work great.

@Kaloudz Hmm, what didn't you like? Rebirth is a bit more puzzle-y and has a more involved storyline compared to the sometimes-vague-wandering of the older games. It might be worth a shot, I'll be putting a review up on it around release anyway!

@Kaloudz No. 60fps came with the next-gen update, it was 30 before on Xbox One / One X.

@Dr_Luigi My experience was about 16 odd hours I'd say

@TJ81 I ran into 1 or 2 bugs throughout the whole thing. Performance aside, there's no reason to wait for a patch on this if you're playing on XSX.

@Artois2 It's an improvement I'd say but if you didn't like the first you probably won't like Requiem. It's an iteration not a revolution of Innocence

@Banjo- I mean, it's hardly a series heavily associated with Xbox is it

@gollumb82 What a great selection of games mentioned here, Insurgency is bloody brill!
Glad to see you ended up enjoying Thief, maybe we'll get a successor one day...hopefully!

@Kaloudz As far as I'm aware it's not limited, apologies for the confusion. Edited slightly to clear that up!

@UltimateOtaku91 No concrete info on Nintendo but you'd assume Xbox wanted it there too. Yeah, it'll have probably been blocked because neither Ninty or Sony want competition with their own sub services, makes sense.

@pip_muzz Yeah, I couldn't commit to any more than "should" 😅

@Texel According to 343's roadmap, mission replay comes alongside campaign co-op so yep, the winter update should contain both!

@BlackMayge Hey, at least our angle was around the expansion and the leak itself (I thought I was quite forgiving with the headline tbh 😅)
I agree that these types of games have their merit, although FC has become a little bloated even as someone who likes the series generally. Still, a GOTY label is a stretch, could easily call it a complete edition or something along those lines.
