@RTGX I've read 1984 and Fahrenheit 451.
I have Brave New World on my list to read soon.

I just spent 30 minutes doing all my discs, only 2 which aren't part of the scheme isn't too bad. I'm chuffed GTA trilogy remastered is part of it as it makes it easier for me.

Neighbors: Suburban Warfare looks like fun

@Markatron84 it will also say 16x the detail

@StoicSlab they fall under King now as part of Microsoft Casual Games

Nah I don't want ads adding into my games! If it's free to play then I can see it happening but if I've paid money for a game I don't want to see an ad.

This is a shame, I will of course be playing SoD3 when it launches.

I've already pre-ordered the controller as a present to myself so I think I will get the upgrade edition as I have GPU. I will not be playing the PVP on it however as I'm way too slow for that now but I will be playing PVE Horde and Horde Siege mode a lot.

Gotta be honest it would a worry for me and not a good thing, it's the single biggest advantage of the service really so for that to go away it would take another reason for me to subscribe to it away with it.
Even at a cheaper price it wouldn't take the sting of it away enough for me.

I really hope this does happen and it would be a day one purchase for me.

I want to try Once Human and I enjoyed Aliens Fireteam Elite so the second game should be worth a play 😊

If they did bring it out then it would be a day one purchase for me.

Firstly I would try and get it repaired, if that wasn't possible I would buy a Series X refurbished console.

I've managed to pre-order off the UK Microsoft store now too https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/d/xbox-wireless-controller-gears-of-war-e-day-limited-edition/8wg5vqp0x4gw

@FraserG yeah I thought so, I will keep refreshing the Microsoft store to check.

@FraserG is it listed to buy on the Xbox/Microsoft store yet? As I have vouchers to spend on there but can't seem to find it.

That Crimson Omen controller looks awesome, I think I may have to treat myself.

I'm hoping they do bring one out as I will be treating myself to one 😊

Thanks for putting them all together in one article like this, I've got them all now except the Twitch skin which although my account is linked and I've claimed it via drops it doesn't seem to have shown up in game yet.

@shoeses Yes I got that one at the weekend

I'd not heard of Corsair Cove before now, I will definitely give it a go.

I'd quite like to try that updated game library tiles option, I think it will look better.

@Lanmanna it's a lot of jobs from Xbox so 3,200 will make a difference going forwards lol

@MinervaX76 Yeah I guess I thought all of these roles were being lost in addition to the studios being spun out but if it includes them in the numbers then it's not so bad.

Xbox should definitely do some kind of ad with him in

Ah man this is the worst possible outcome then, I do hope Arkane Studios are able to continue in some shape or form.

@Markatron84 Ah ok I get ya and it's not a good look whichever way they cut it

@Markatron84 don't forget the cancellation of Project Blackbird from Zenimax too

I currently have 5.5k points, however I had saved up 82k points in order to get GTA 6 pre-ordered for £4.99 so I can't complain, prior to this I used it to extend my Game Pass Ultimate until they changed that to mean you have to convert points to pounds to redeem it.

I'm playing some Battlefield 6 as well as some more of Quarantine Zone: The Last Checkpoint which I'm getting closer to finishing.

This does seem to line up well with that quote from Jason Ronald then to be fair and it also provides something extra for people with the ROG Xbox Ally / X

@themightyant in the same, I've been meaning to play it for some time

I had 81k points saved up specifically for this reason, I cashed them in for £65 in vouchers so GTA 6 has cost me £4.99

I could have just saved the extra £5 in points then pre-ordered for free but I'm now saving points to try and get the Gears E-Day upgrade pack at £20

@MaccaMUFC I'm at £65 in reward points so far from saving haha, I did dip into my points to get Thank Goodness You're Here at £8 for free so I don't think I've done too badly.

I will definitely give The Planet Crafter a try 😊

@alasakarama yes it all depends on the price for me, but I have been saving up my reward points specially to put towards this since the turn of the year so I'm hoping it won't cost me much at all

Hopefully this means it gets announced for XBOX at Gamescom or TGS this year

Mistfall Hunter and Wuthering Waves will be the two games I try next month I think.

I've still not noticed this yet so I will try and force the update through the settings menu .

I'm actually looking forward to Yooka-Laylee Kart when it does come to console

I really liked the first game so I will definitely play this! Been waiting years for another entry

It wasn't a good idea on console but I did use it on the Xbox app on my phone and it was useful then but it's already been removed from there too.

This is the reason I will not bother with this game

@FraserG that's disappointing about No Rest for the Wicked but I already have plenty to play so if comes later down the line then so be it.

I normally watch it via the Xbox YouTube channel so I'll be doing that again I think.

Yeah I say remove them until the other gaming companies start doing it

@Skinny-Pete it's usually 4 to 6 weeks later after the insiders have tested it

This shows that they are responding to that already which is a good sign. On a side note I noticed Gaming Copilot has now been removed from the Xbox app on my phone.. it's a shame as I did use it.

These look quite nice, now I just need to decide which one to go with haha

I submitted my idea for a top 10 trending games of the previous week with player counts listed as well as a top 10 most increased player count so you can see what is popular at the moment.
