I have 5 Xbox games including Spider-Man 2 & FF7 Rebirth to go through and I haven't even touched Final Fantasy 16 yet.

This was a wise decision by the publisher as there was no way majority of people were choosing this over the big hitters like Yakuza etc

Microsoft to buy Ubisoft within 5 years.

Will continue with Fifa 23 and wait for this on Gamepass.

Original COD games on Gamepass is all I want.

@Fiendish-Beaver

This.

People who frequent these kind of sites like you and I are in the VAST minority of gamers.

There is a reason why people on here consistently complain about yearly sports / call of duty games but they almost always go on to be the best selling games of the year for a reason because the masses buy it.

Like A Dragon alone makes it an A+ for me

Getting a Series S and gamepass is going to save me hundreds if not thousands of pounds at this rate

All 3 releases are absolute bangers! I was going to buy Like A Dragon on Day 1 but now don't have to.

2 Like A Dragon Games releasing on Game pass this year ?!

My Yakuza fix is going to be satisfied

A lot of us are first time xbox users because of the Series S and i am certain this goes for a lot of people.

The low entry point is the main reason I got it. Would not have gotten an xbox for £449

RGG releases banger after banger 1-2 years apart and Western developers take a decade to release 1 game

2023 is truly stacked and its not even done yet. How are you all finding time to play these games lol.

Baldur's Gate 3
Starfield
Lies of P just dropped

That's at least 300 hours of gameplay right there

2028 seems about right for the next gen consoles. Most generations last 8 years.

I expect a lot of the above to change between now and then but anyone surprised Microsoft pushing an all digital future has not been paying attention to Gamepass and their strategy for the past few years.

Elder Scrolls 6 is 1000% not coming next year lol.

Although its nice to know what they are working on now, even if they themselves didn't want us to know.

@carlos82

Xbox Series S should be £200 to aggressively target anyone with even a hint of interest in Xbox games.

Betheseda Games
Activision Games
Epic Games

At that price point, you would tempt a lot of people to get an xbox as a secondary console or even make it their main one.

What a massive leak. We essentially know everything Xbox related between now and 2028.

Hype is at 0.

The Rockstar of 2001-2013 is long gone. Dan Houser and several other key figures of that time period are gone now.

They bought Betheseda for a reason. Sony would have made it exclusive too if they owned them.

This is not news.

We don't.

Have to prioritize games because playing them all simply isn't possible with a full time job along with other commitments.

15-20 Hours a week if im lucky

@themightyant

Summed it up perfectly.

"I'm Shocked"

Sarcasm

Should have been this way from the start. Black consoles just look better. in a media centre.

@themightyant

Well Said. Volition haven't had a solid game since Saints Row The Third which is 12 years ago at this point. Saints Row 4 was a glorified DLC.

The Reboot was the nail in the coffin and easily the worst game in the franchise.

@Titntin Agreed. Its going to get to the point where nobody communicates with anyone out of fear of being banned or suspended.

The irony of playing multiplayer games to bring people together is actually just going to further isolate them.

Lol so basically don't expect to play this until 2028 if we're lucky.

Not even a little.

A narrative driven game similar to the original trilogy. There is a reason its still the vast majority of peoples favourites over 15 years later

@ZuneTattooGuy

Still cheaper than buying 12 months of gamepass up front. Just checked and I am seeing 18 months of Xbox live for £60

£60 for a year of gamepass ultimate is a steal even at the 3:2 conversion.

@XBOX045

Finishing 4 games in 20 years with 1200 games owned sounds like a severe lack of attention span.

A year of Gamepass with the gold conversion method is still a whole load of bang for your buck with Activision games soon to join along with this.

Them dropping support would almost certainly lead to a lawsuit of false advertisement.

Myself like millions of others got their first Xbox consoles through the Series S because of the great price point. Dropping support would be a slap to those millions of people and a huge blow in trust between consumer and Microsoft. I'd certainly not buy another Xbox again after that.

This is why they should have just done the Sony approach and release a Series X with and without a disc drive.

Release the disc Series X at $499 as it did.
Release the disc less Series X at $299

Same SKU except one has a disc and the other doesn't. This satisifies people who need their disc drives and getting a series x at $299 is an insane deal for new Xbox users and people who don't care about the disc drive which leads into more Gamepass sales.

I hope this isn't around the same time as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Day 1 playthrough

Looking forward to the day Call of Duty comes to gamepass

Give me the old CODs over these newer ones any day

Burnout 3 Takedown is a classic everyone should own. Can be found for less than £5

Still can be purchased on Series consoles so not that big of a deal.

Being delisted forever or not being able to use your disc copy on your console would be worrisome.

COD on Gamepass is going to be lit.

Disc Version Always.

Once locked into the Microsoft Store, sales will be less frequent and they can completely determine pricing.

Discs create competition. Can't be charging $60 for the MS Store version when the discs are going for $20.

@Kezelpaso

Darn it

Guess those games weren't included in the summer sale then. I got my first Xbox ever (Series S) in June so I am still building my library.

Any idea of when the summer sale will be?

Eyeing up Saints Row 1-2 and FF13 Trilogy

@Cashews

Precisely the reason why I mainly play 360 games on my Series S

Almost exclusively a backwards compatible machine and single player games for the most part.

Microtransactions have invested the gaming industry

@InterceptorAlpha

Microsoft should have employed Sony's approach to this by releasing the Series X with a disc drive and one without the disc drive.

That way there is parity and since Microsoft can afford to take the hit on hardware knowing they will make their money back on Game Pass, sell the Series X Disc at $499 and the disc less version at $249 instead of $399.

This pushes people to go digital and thus locking them into the Game Pass ecosystem and possibly gets gamers from Nintendo / Sony to try out 4 generations of Xbox for $250. Those that still want their discs, can get the $499 as it is now.

Fantastic games = Great Sales

The fact the bug fixes and notes are this long for game that was released last year, just goes to show the rotten state the game released under.

This will inevitably show up on game pass but not at all surprised it was a critical and commercial failure

@BowsersBuddy

Just beat it. Plays great. Had no issues. Just bear in mind that you have to use a technique on the last mission to make it to the helicopter (guides on youtube how to do it)

Patiently waiting for Saints Row 1 & 2 along with the Final Fantasy 13 trilogy to go on sale.

COD4 Modern Warfare on Gamepass is all I want.

Few people if any are going to miss Avengers

@Serpentes420

Likewise. Gamepass is enough for me. No need to buy xbox games ever. COD is coming to gamepass soon anyway

Talk about going out with a whimper

The leaps between generations are only going to get smaller and smaller.

Doubt we will ever have that significant jump from PS2/Xbox to the HD era with the PS3/360 ever again.
