@BacklogBrad Great stuff! See you out there on the battlefield...

@Lup NZ thanks you for your service

@BossBE Nope, this isn't on Game Pass day 1

Treyarch like to keep Zombies under wraps, will be a wait for the full release on that one!

@Markatron84 but what about Squash 😔😔
@Fiendish-Beaver yes, just multiplayer

@GamingFan4Lyf Yep. Definitely has 'Microsoft moved the goalposts' vibes. Although that's maybe understandable after a $70 billion acquisition...

@UBERSICKO Thank u. It's busy right now 😅

@BacklogBrad To be fair yeah, I can't definitively say it either way - none of us can. It just feels like it'd be a huge coincidence to not be Xbox's decision considering everything else that's going on.

@BacklogBrad It was in the FTC docs that Microsoft had negotiated for Indy to be Xbox consoles only. This is their decision.

@Fiendish-Beaver RTX should be usable on any PC version of the game, although you'll need the right Nvidia hardware for it. Not an expert on what hardware you need though 😅

@GamingFan4Lyf I really hope it's single-player!!

@Techno92LFC They've not been very forthcoming with console details yet, but Sony has labeled trailers as 'PS4 and PS5', and the game is planned for mobile, so there's a good chance it'll come to Xbox One! We'll try and bring more details when we know 🙏

@awp69 BRINGING THE FAITH. Let's hope so ✌

@Markatron84 It will be all of them when Game Pass Standard actually comes out 😅 But for now it's just those subs that have 'XBL Gold' access, so, Core & UIt.

@Ooccoo_Jr Yeah... we've been back and forth here at the offices on this and I keep saying that I can't see another Xbox console after next-gen. It feels like they maybe have one more in them before it becomes a pointless endeavour - unless their strategy changes again.

@Ooccoo_Jr The negative stuff is coming, I had to try a little pick-me-up first 😅

@Titntin It's more for SEO if we're honest. We don't need Xbox in the heading, but getting it in there helps us with search results and whatnot - having Xbox in our site name etc.

And yep, another big old patch by From!

@Cikajovazmaj Frostpunk 2 was moved to Sept 20th at the start of this month, I'm not sure why the app is saying today.

@themightyant I wouldn't say discounts would be a major thing in that regard. Mind you, the FTC or CMA might still come for them 😅

@Markatron84 It's very confusing 😅. The hub basically connects recent releases together, and a bunch of the files (probably weapons, characters, textures etc.) are contained within the Call of Duty 'hub'. From there, you add other bits you own - for instance, an MW3 Campaign Pack, or a Warzone pack etc.

@Dimey They're fantastic, especially Exodus imo. A real bargain for all three games - and you get the two DLCs for Exodus!

@Savage_Joe I'd fully endorse being able to buy ass... Xbox controller ass of course!

@Scrubchub Yes, we believe so. If you extend your sub before September 12th, you shouldn't have to pay more until it expires.

@rustyduck 💀

@WhiteRabbit This is officially known as Game Pass Confusion Day at PX HQ 😄

@rustyduck It's OK https://www.purexbox.com/features/hands-on-call-of-duty-mw3s-campaign-is-here-for-a-good-time-but-a-short-time

@Fiendish-Beaver We've not heard anything official from Xbox yet. The wording so far has been very vague, we assume Push Square has read into it as ALL day one games won't be on Xbox Game Pass Standard.
We're just waiting for a bit more clarification before committing to that here at Pure Xbox.

@pip_muzz Yep, first-party is very back-half of the year leaning. We should be in for a good few months ahead!

@AccessibleDaydream Yeah, the 360 web store is really hit and miss these days in terms of what works. I've heard that really, the most reliable way of using the store is on an actual 360 console nowadays.

@Fiendish-Beaver Honestly, we're not 100% sure yet as we haven't had chance to test it.
I would assume that you can pick either Low or High, with low then giving you higher frames. If we get more solid info on this I'll let you know!

@Ricky-Spanish No problem. If you have the Lego DLC, you should get contacted soon with a token to get the base game for free. We're just waiting on these tokens to start going out!

@abe_hikura We might make a big deal about it when the tokens start showing up 😉

@Ricky-Spanish The game will be removed from Game Pass on December 15th when the digital version goes away.

You have until then to get a copy if you want it digital, but it will be deeply discounted on Xbox in July - and we're hearing that if you bought DLC for the game you'll get a token for the base game soon. Should know more about that in the next few days.

@Titntin Thank you for reading! I bloody love this game, there's just nothing really like it especially with the setting.

@RazputinAquato It is frustrating, it's been a problem with racing games for decades. I love loads of those niche racing games from the PS2/Xbox era and even the 360 days as well, but it's mostly disc or bust for those now.
In the case of Forza, I'd love for MS to work on some sort of rolling license for the series. If new games keep coming out with the same cars, why can't the 'franchise' hold these licenses and all the games stay active? A weird one.

@The-Grezzly-Bear Hoping for better things tonight! 😅

@The-Grezzly-Bear We can't 100% confirm but it's usually around 5 or 6pm UK time. It should be worth checking then!

@somnambulance haha, the gameplay is so similar it's hard not to!

@PartyMarty Nice one to sneak in!

For the record it's totally cool to debate this sorta stuff, as long as we keep it civil. Some folks probably do value dollar above all that's fine.
It's clear that a lot of us do care about time though, so, we'll keep bringing the reviews - Game Pass or not!

@EvenStephen7 Yeah, the Bond pack also contained some cars that you just never see in games like the Z8 and a couple of the old Astons.
Still, I don't think this is the worst thing in the world considering Call of Duty and the likes charge about $30 for cosmetic packs. When you consider how much free content FH5 gets as well.

@Ricky-Spanish Appreciate the support 🙏

@BacklogBrad They've told us that they're keeping those bits intact. But there are also a number of instances where it's added to point you in a certain direction... you'll be able to toggle those off soon.

@Mustoe Time is the biggest currency of them all. With the abundance of content available nowadays, it's always worth knowing what's worth putting time into. Game Pass reviews are still very relevant, we think so anyway!

Seems most of us are up for this one! Looking forward to seeing more of it, personally. We need more dino shooters.

@GuyinPA75 did you play BF3 on 360? It had less than half the intended player counts for Conquest, the visuals and audio were compressed as all-hell, and generally speaking the 360 couldn't properly handle it.
No doubt it was still fun at the time, but when you compare it to the PC version, and to Battlefield 4 on Xbox One, it's a completely different game almost.

@GuyinPA75 Battlefield 3 Remastered is what I'd like to see next. I'm still jealous that we never got a proper version of BF3 on console

@Fiendish-Beaver We've had some PR from EA on this and they describe it as "BioWare Embraces its Storytelling Roots in Crafted Single Player RPG". It's sounding like single-player is the focus, we've had no word on co-op so far...

@MaccaMUFC Yep. Looking forward to it but the jury's out on Solar Crown. If it's good I'm in, if not I'll be looking forward to this Motorfest update!

@HotGoomba there's always Xbox One (god, that was a Don Mattrick-esque comment) 😂
