The first Halo game I played was Combat Evolved on PC. I remember my dad playing it in the bed with our laptop. He didn't let me play it alone due to its violence, but whenever I got to play it, I would just throw Plasma Granades to Grunts in the bridge from the first level.

He introduced me to the series, and now we're both really excited for the remake! (he really liked Infinite, which surprises me)

Not awful, just a bit eh. Tony Hawk finally, Ascend to Zero is really neat (I tried it during a Steam Next Fest last year), Tamashika and Palworld, with Denshattack coming next week.

The rest I gotta see what they are. Still, this year has been really good for Game Pass so I'm not really worried about this, we constantly have huge months and low months.

@BIGWILL12251979 It's almost always the first tuesday of the month, and since the last one was on June 30th, the next one should be tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest

Man, I'm very excited for Fable, but the fact they delayed it to the month where Persona 4 Revival comes out, and very close to FFXIV Evercold, FF7 Revelation and Stranger Than Heaven, means I will have to put it aside as I finish those one first

@RadioHedgeFund It's a retelling of the mobile game Brave Exvius, but beyond that is a full premium game. Simillar to what they did to Octopath Traveler: CotC with Octopath Traveler 0

Persona 4 Revival is one of my most anticipated games for next year since it's the remake of my favorite Persona game, and P6 is simply surreal to see, even if it's only the logo.

The fact they are coming to Game Pass day one is insane. Persona 6 especially, it's like they put GTA VI day one but for JRPG fans.

Going to react to it on my Twitch channel, always exciting watching an Xbox Showcase, especially in recent years. Keeping my expectations tempered so I can be surprised by at least something.

A lot of people here jumped to conclusions (for obvious reasons) but just minutes ago Asha confirmed that Copilot for the Xbox mobile app would be removed and Copilot for console is getting canceled.

Seeing Asha also came from CoreAI, it feels like these new hires are simply people who got to work on AI, but it's not the only thing they work on. I don't blame anyone for thinking this would be bad, but these people can do much more outside AI. Even so, only time will tell.

@Millionski That is true. I'm interested in the Steam Machine and Helix because of that, having a PC fully optimized for gaming is really good for a lot of reasons.The only thing that would break the deal would be the price.

One of my main reasons to buy a console, aside from exclusives, is performance and ease of use. I constantly struggle with my PC running AAA games weird and I really don't want to troubleshoot constantly just so I can play a few hours. In a console, I don't need to do that, so that is a big plus for me.

Xbox especially helps a lot with Play Anywhere and the Rewards Program, since I can play them in both places and Rewards give me a nice discount on any game, that's how I got Silent Hill 2 and Helldivers 2

I was already going to buy Inkonbini, and I will probably still going to do it, but seeing it on Game Pass made me very happy.

Overall this was the best ID@Xbox showcase in a while.

Endless Legend II leaving feels like an error because it just arrived XGP Premium this month. Normally when a game enters Premium it means it gets a few extra months on the service. Weird.

Bought Helldivers 2 finally. Been wanting to play it with friends but haven't had the money

I recently downloaded VOIDBREAKER from PC Game Pass and I liked it so I'm probably going to put more hours into it.

Also bought Helldivers II and I'm planning to play it with friends tomorrow

Would buy Pragmata if it weren't releasing so close to Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream. That game is going to trap me for weeks. But I might give both REPLACED and Kiln a try since I have also been anticipating those for a while.

@oopsiezz It was not an AI, it was Aaron Paul confirmed by the Xbox Twitter account

Stranger Than Heaven on Game Pass is huge. Very excited for this game since the reveal on TGA, and now it's coming to GPU. Hopefully it comes out this year.

Also I noticed a lot of 2027 games, which is weird when we are in March. Many devs are escaping GTA VI so any small-medium games that would come out on September-December are delaying their games to 2027 so they don't get crushed.

Tried the demo on the Steam Next Fest and I was pleasantly surprised. Haven't played the original but I going to soon so I can play this one. Very happy for the devs.

I would love to play Resident Evil Requiem right now, but I'm waiting for a friend to buy it and I'm still playing a lot of demos from the Steam Next Fest.

The best ones for me have been Denshattack, Vampire Crawlers, Esoteric Ebb, Mermaid Mask and Scott Pilgrim EX.

That's fine by me. Already have Shadow of War on physical, Monster Train is quite cheap on Steam, as well as Injustice 2. Expeditions looks interesting though.

I'm really excited for the new Castlevania. It's being made by the devs of Dead Cells and The Rogue Prince of Persia. They even made an excellent expansion about Castlevania for Dead Cells. I'm certain it will be very good.

If there were preorders for Romeo is a Deadman, I would have already bought it.

Been playing more Citizen Sleeper and Artis Impact on PC, and I'm coming back to Overwatch with the upcoming update, and it's been really fun

Very cheap and I'm happy for it. Bought it day one on PS5 and I don't have any regrets, Rebirth was worth it's price, but I'm a bit mad that Xbox and Switch are getting the game at a much affordable price lmao

@awp69 I hope so and there is a chance of it

Game Pass has been pretty good recently. Even if you are not interested in many of these, we haven't seen this amount of big names on the service in a while.

This batch doesn't have that much for me, but Pirate Yakuza is an amazing addition, alongside Avatar, Starsand Island and High on Life 2. I'm just a bit dissapointed that FFIII was not here, looks like the rest will be added monthly.

A for me. A good bunch of AAA titles, and Final Fantasy was a really good addition, I'm hoping they include Final Fantasy XII since that one has been in my radar for a while.

If it weren't for Romeo is a Deadman and Tomodachi Life, I would get DQVII day one. Probably going to get it during the summer sale or later (also I have too many RPGs and I want to finish some of those first before buying a new one)

I still use it a lot, bought a full year in advance, but I'm not paying full price and I'm sharing it with some friends to maximize the value. Ultimate still has a lot of value for me, even Fortnite Crew is something I really like, and being able to play Halo Campaign Evolved and Forza Horizon 6 day one is one of the main reasons I wanted to pay for it this year.

Just Arc Raiders with the help of a friend, I saw many games I wanted like Space Marine II but I wanted to buy more games on Switch and PC.

Not that much, but I have been using Xbox on PC a lot (mainly due to Game Pass).Also I just bought a Series X and been playing a lot on it, as well as buying more games like Inazuma Eleven and Silent Hill 2 Remake.

Probably going to use it a lot more next year, with a lot of games coming out that I will probably buy on Xbox due to the regional price (PS5 doesn't have regional pricing and those games will not run good on my PC) so yeah, unless I get a Switch 2, Xbox Series X will probably be my main console next year

Also Ultimate Sheep´Raccoon releases on the 9th on Game Pass. It was announced yesterday.

Here in Mexico it still asks to buy it. Going to wait until it appears

Not on Xbox (though it will be avaliable there) but UNBEATABLE is going to be the main new game I buy this month, aside from Marvel Cosmic Invasion and whatever else comes to Game Pass. This month I'm mostly going to focus on older games and Expedition 33

Nothing right now, but for lack of money, because I have been wanting to buy Space Marine II or Silent Hill f using my Rewards points

Just got a Series X, I going to use it to play all those games that don't run very well on my PC, but right now I'm going to try and finish Octopath Traveler before it leaves Game Pass

@IOI To be fair, we have been getting a lot more Fable stuff compared to Perfect Dark, that game had 2 trailers with years in between. Also, if Forza Horizon 6 is being made by Playground and Fable hasn't been cancelled, I feel it's close to completion

A lot of Powerwash Simulator 2 and maybe a bit of Sonic Adventure DX, since I need to clean my backlog soon.

@themightyant To be fair, it is a festival. Assuming SXSW works similar to Cannes or other film festivals, they voted based on what they have seen during the event.

The Game of the Year award would be just the best game they saw during this year SXSW, not the whole year
