@Markatron84 They're not included, you're right, we're not super well-versed in D2 these days with what is and isn't vaulted. Edited!

@Kaloudz Yeah there are definitely some missing here... could just be that these titles have responded to whatever maintenance tweaks they made and the rest need work? Who knows, hopefully we find out soon.

@Fiendish-Beaver It's a completely separate app so yeah, it should have new achievements.
I'd assume it's a repeat of the list from Gears: UE.

@Fanat1c Fair play! For some reason MW19 didn't quite grab me, aside from the Warzone launch of course.

@Ricky-Spanish how's online looking? any takers?

@Fiendish-Beaver Nope, you're right, I'm not sure what happened there! Possibly a typo from updating the article... 😩
All fixed now, thank you!

@Kaloudz we are eating GOOD!!

@RiverGenie It's not apples to apples but I hear you, I think Hello Games were in a little over their heads...
I don't hold grudges either, definitely agree that life's too short. I just think folks acting as PR reps for massive studios like CDPR should maybe be a little more cautious. Doesn't mean you can't celebrate the final product if it's great.

Folks are very quick to forget about how bad Cyberpunk was. A limited edition Xbox One X came out for a game that barely worked on that system.
It may have always been a tech demo but the gameplay segment was presented like it was a chunk of the game. I think people have the right to scrutinise, personally.
I thought we'd moved on from the era of pointless vertical slices...

@Kaloudz We haven't had a proper update for the first half of June yet! We do have a few more games already locked in though: https://www.purexbox.com/guides/xbox-game-pass-all-games-coming-soon-in-june-2025
As for the next roundup, MS is becoming a bit less predictable with them these days. Hopefully we get one in and around the showcase.

@Rob3008 We'll do our best with this! Sometimes we include prices, but it can be time consuming with regional pricing etc.
If we don't include prices there's always a link provided so you can quickly check the store price for what you're interested in

@dannnylee blame Microsoft and their X|S naming convention 😅

@Romans12 It's always hard to say these days, but considering the team is changing puzzles and gameplay mechanics, I'd say remake? But they're calling it a remaster... confusing!

@KlipKlop Thanks for this, our bad, didn't spot the message. Updated!

@jesse_dylan Annoyingly it's only a two-hour trial... we've updated the post now.

@JoyfulFire here's hoping!

@FarmDog08 Hope you're enjoying it!

@Fiendish-Beaver complete shadow drop, no early access unfortunately!

@Fiendish-Beaver Thank you sir, just a small update with Avowed and South of Midnight now shipped 😁

@Kaloudz One of the captions says 'do you use it, or put it on a shelf' so I believe it's fully playable on!

@dskatter As a brit, I'm sorry, it's a common phrase here 😂
Can simply be swapped with 'ages' 😅.

@abe_hikura Yeah, the combat is the game's weak point but I'd rather that than something convoluted that gets in the way of this story and its world! We can't have everything can we 😝

@Cornpop76 but for PUBG, maybe... 😅

@PsBoxSwitchOwner https://www.purexbox.com/news/2024/12/sega-is-reportedly-considering-its-own-gaming-subscription-service 🤔

@IronMan30 the smell 🤢

@themightyant Given its 2025 date and appearance last year, Id assume a lot of it's been done already. Possibly money for the final touches and marketing? Hard to know exactly.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Right yeah, that's annoying. Generally speaking though, it's not particularly tough to find a Series S.

@OldGamer999 When I put my postcode in at Argos, the nearest 10 stores all have stock readily available, so I consider that pretty readily available.
As for GAME, you're right. I genuinely have no idea what GAME are trying to sell these days 😅

@NintendoByNature Possibly! Either way, only a week until the official announcement

My bad there! I've just edited the link to the Xbox version 🙂

@Lup Yep! As the quote says. We just like to get Xbox in the heading 😅

@Kaloudz Not played it myself but there doesn't appear to be any sort of time restriction on it! Could be a good time to give it a whirl.

Any suggestions may make it onto future lists, just saying 👀
We try to include everything but there are SO MANY great games in this library 😭

@Fiendish-Beaver Hey! It totally depends on your preference, we'd recommend trying both to see what you think.
Typically, these 40FPS modes give you 30FPS graphics with smoother visuals and better response times, so they can strike a nice balance. If you want all-out fluidity then 60 should be the way to go! Both seem like viable options for Avowed.

@themightyant I gotta do another RE2 Remake run sometime soon, bloody love that game.
Enjoy 3 and 4! The latter especially is an absolute banger.

@Kaloudz Yup, bit of a strange entry. But, free's free 😅

@Elbow I'll be honest, I'm not super well versed in how GOG works, so if it's mostly their work then this is great stuff.
Either way, I still want Capcom to bring these to Xbox in some form 😅

@Fiendish-Beaver Well... Xbox has been deliberately vague in its wording.
"visit a surprise location to see another studio’s brand new game" nowhere does that explicitly say 'unannounced'. Brand new game could simply mean it's not a remaster or re-release...
Only time will tell but I think folks are maybe reading into it or mixing up the various reports with what MS has actually said!

@Kaloudz This year feels a safe bet! I wouldn't expect Bloodlines 2 tomorrow but something about Silent Hill... after this rating I'm convincing myself it's gonna be the surprise 😅

@Markatron84 As we said in the post, it seems most likely to be something to do with E-Day, maybe a revisit of the old games after a meeting with the dev team or something?
Either way, we think the timing is intriguing... the man hadn't been on Gears 2 since 2009

@Lup Hi! Which region / timezone are you in? 🙂

@somnambulance Agreed. I think a little old game called GTA 6 is preventing some devs from dropping release dates...

@Fiendish-Beaver the cheapest option we're seeing is $300... 😑

@IOI bring back Windows Phone

@Vordus Yes, I said this in the article but it's not easy to put in a headline lol

@BacklogBrad It totally depends on the game but if it's a twitchy FPS it's an advantage, no question.
How many people do you think bought a console to sit and use a M&KB with it? It's a device designed for a controller in a living room and that should be the focus.

@Markatron84 Yeah, we looked into this years ago. That's just another reason for Xbox to give us more options!
https://www.purexbox.com/news/2022/01/talking-point-is-forced-cross-play-on-xbox-becoming-a-huge-issue

@BacklogBrad I do mention that input-based toggles would work, that would separate console M&KB players too. But, I assume the vast majority of console players dont use M&KB so it's nowhere near as much of an issue as PC.
I dont want to use M&KB because I game on a sofa with a controller and that's the experience I want. I shouldn't be at a massive disadvantage on a console controller when I bought, a console, to play games on.
If input is a scapegoat why is my experience so much better when I go into my console settings and turn crossplay off? Microsoft shouldn't bury this stuff.

@TeiGekiLord Yes.
In all seriousness, I just think the PS5 stuff gives Xbox a reason to have more options. This has been an issue for years, but an understandable one given lower player counts on Xbox.
That probably won't be an issue going forward...

@Fiendish-Beaver Well, '1pm GMT / 10am PT / 1pm ET' certainly isn't right.
I should probably go tell them 😅
