I've not had a message about this and I've not received any of the free gifts cards previously sent out so I'm not holding much hope but I will check that offers and credits section you mention to see if it has anything in there 👍🏻
I bought Snow Day ages ago and gave had it installed the past few months but still not fired it up. I'll give it go when there are bound to be more players cos of the free play day.
I'm glad we are getting console updates and I'm looking forward to them coming to the wider audience outside of the insiders only. I play my console daily and I've been asking for some of these changes so it's a welcome boost for me.
I would like to think if we want to give some specific feedback that if you go on the Xbox app, click on settings then scroll to the bottom and choose Give feedback that this would also reach this new team.
I think it's an early positive step, as I and the majority of people thought the 'This is an Xbox' campaign sucked and did only negative damage to the brand.
I managed to get it when it was listed for 74p. I need to get it installed now so I can get as much done as possible on it before that 22nd June shutdown date 😫
That quick resume update is a game changer for me, I find that it doesn't play well with Halo Infinite or Battlefield 6 for me and I've been saying since it came out that we needed this feature so that's very good
The fact that there is no continuation after completing the main quest line is crazy. I wanted to mop up achievements but the game simply ends and does not let you.
I was close to buying Death Stranding a few times but held off, I will now try it on Game Pass. Space Marine 2 is awesome I got that on release it's so much fun.
@Fiendish-Beaver yes I like how it allows for mistakes, I've made a lot on there as people do walk in front of your line of fire. It does then still weed out the bad actors.
@Fiendish-Beaver Helldivers is a lot of fun with plenty of difficulty options to tweak and change on it. It does have friendly fire on it but I think it could be from some of the higher difficulties although I could be wrong. I also like Starship Troopers Extermination, for team based PVE its great fun. There is friendly fire in that but it's very forgiving as it warns you first if you accidentally hit someone. Then if you keep on doing it the player killed gets the option to mark you as a traitor, at that point an announcement plays that there is a traitor in the ranks that must be killed and all players in the match can kill you and are rewarded XP for doing so haha
@Markatron84 Yes I'm sick of this email as well even though it does say in the message if you've already done this then ignore this email, it's still annoying.
