I finished Marvel Midnight Suns, including dlc, which I got late in my playthrough. I started the stealth dropped Supraland sequel on gamepass today and am enjoying it so far. I missed the first game, but heard it was good. Fun so far, it reminds me of Tinykin a bit in vibe, which was a fun game

I want to see a Series XS. An X with a detachable S for on the go gaming. That way, they don't have to change their manufacturing processes either. I mean, it would still run Redfall at the same frame rate, so everyone would be mad and ask why they bothered, but people would buy it

The only game that I don't already have that I am interested in is a switch exclusive, so this has no value for me.

I voted coffee talk. I think it is just the right game at the right time for me. I started ghostwire and am enjoying, and I played some loop hero, which I already knew I like from Switch. Very much looking forward to Benedict Fox if I can find the time. So, great month for my tastes!

I almost bought Hoa but never quite pulled the trigger. Now I can check it out. Great month for me!

I'm looking forward to checking it out. I have not been watching the trailers, because I kind of like to be surprised and gamepass lets me do that risk free. So not positive it will be for me, but I like what little I have seen and heard so far

I have Roguebook on Switch, this is fun game for anyone who likes Slay the Spire type card battles. I like its unique exploration elements

It would be great if it turns out Oxenfree 2 was planned to be a stealth day 1 gamepass drop, hence no anouncement.

One of the reasons I got an Xbox was some buzzy games coming to Xbox and not other platforms (Deaths Door, Song of the Sea). There may have been others. Those examples later released on other platforms but I am glad I purchased. It's all about which games you really want, and how patient you can be.

I have this wishlisted and may grab it soon.
I want to finish some ongoing games, trying to finish at least 2 from backlog before buying anything new

I am quite excited about this lineup. And I still need to start Ghostwire, plus looking forward to playing Minecraft Legends with my son still in April

I'll check it out at 30, 60, or any number in between. I don't really care about frame rates.

If this were a surprise gamepass day 1 addition, I would not complain. There have been some nice surprises like loop hero, so I will dream. Not that I don't already have a huge GP backlog (Passlog? No, sounds awful)

Sounds good! Is this launching same time as Redfall? I look forward to trying then both, but I'd probably go Redfall first

I played on PS and really enjoyed it, but I stopped playing in the 3rd act and never finished. I should go back. Glad it has launched on Xbox so more folks can experience it

In terms of slay the spire type gameplay, Roguebook is really fun, too. Steamworld Quest is worth checking out as a story adventure, and Marvel's Midnight Suns is a fantastic game with card battle being a huge piece of the genre mashup

@AverageJoseph my recollection is that you unlock new tiles and win them from battles, which can be played from your hand to create environment (fields, rocks) or loop locations (graveyards, forests) that each impact gamepkay in different ways (spawn enemies for you to fight). So, more tile placement than card combat. Very fun game, though it has been too long since I last played on Switch. I will throw it on my Xbox now. I love this surprise drop!

I think Peaky Blinders reviewed well when it came out. I was vaguely interested despite not watching the show it is based on. I might check it out. I have never heard of the other, but I bear it no ill will

I'd try this and I bet my son will like it. Yay gamepass!

Indivisible and Journey to the Savage Planet are on my wish list. I think I will give them a try. And Indivisible is also on sale, so if I like it, I can pick it up

I just read about Lamplighters on another site. Did not realize it would be on gamepass. That's great news!

Nintendo is high end. Zelda is going to cost 70 and for the next 10 years, you will be able to play the same COD on it as any other platform. 😀

The various changes are not my favorite, but it is still a way to get credit over time with little effort. Seems like it is being streamlined more toward engaging with gamepass or just spending money in the store. Which is fine, I like the Nintendo gold coin incentives for spending in the store. It's a nice little extra. I wonder if they will keep the daily Bing engagement incentives.

It's not going to happen, but the scenario in my head: Microsoft issues one COD game, just under 10 years after the acquisition on all platforms, and it is a retro game similar to Prodeus. In the meanwhile, the whole team is used to develop Halo after Halo 😇

I have really enjoyed Midnight Suns so far. I'm thinking of getting the season pass, which is currently on sale. I read that the first 2 dlc released are quite good.

@relaxplease Thanks for the thoughts on Frostpunk. I have been intimidated by the difficulty, but may give it a shot. I thought it had left gamepass.
I played Hades using the God mode, where each death increases your defense, so you can make progress more quickly and complete the story.
If you like deck builders with roguelite elements, Rogue Book is fun. I've not gotten too far, I need to get back into it, but liked what I played. I need to try monster train, loved slay the spire

@relaxplease I was thinking the same. I kind of hope Hades 2 comes to GP, but I may just buy it either way, on xbox or on switch (especially if it launches first on switch again).

I have heard frostpunk was good, but never played. I would be interested in seeing 2 come to gamepass.

But maybe this is just greedy of me with so much already confirmed 🤔

Sounds like it would be fun in a saints row 3/4 kind of way. And educational, too. I had no idea LA was an island

I've never played a fatal frame game. I'm tempted. Also interested in the dead cells cross over and possibly Rom-vania, but would like to see a review there

I couldn't get into Atomic Heart. So slow to get started and then it didn't grab me. I only played merge and blade, which is fun in short bursts. So it got my vote. I've played Darkest Dungeon on other systems, but not on gamepass. That's a fun game

Seems like a silly rumor, I wouldn't worry much. There's a whole big list on this site of upcoming games, so even if true, I'm not too disappointed

Neither of these is for me, but glad to see them added. Lots of great stuff available!

Like others, I have pretty much played through the ones I was interested in. I have some interest in Plague Tale and ReCore, but they were not high on my list

I watched the trailer for Merge and Blade and it looks like a tetris RPG. I'll mess around with it. And Soul Hackers is something I would like to check out but not necessarily play all the way through, so a good couple of games for me

I have been doing fine without a memory expansion, but now I'm starting to think about it. I'm interested in 2 of these and not sure I can even squeeze Atomic Hearts last update onto my drive

Thanks @Pepa27 , I am only an hour or two in (maybe a little more, time seems to melt away) and am really enjoying it!

I picked up Marvel's Midnight Sun on sale and started it, just doing the tutorial. From that brief play I see what the hype was about and cannot wait to play more!

I like crown trick, I had a lot of fun with that game. I may need to purchase when it leaves

Cool, most of these are surprises I know nothing about, may check them out later. I'm trying to finish a couple of things ahead of Atomic Heart, which I already downloaded, so these will go into the pile of saved for later

Very much looking forward to this. Although I did have to remove some other games from my S to accommodate that file size. I have no memory expansions, I have to delete things I am not actively playing

That was a pretty good month for me last year, I had interest in most of those. I bounced off Guardians and Weird West, but may come back to them and purchase if they stick this time. Kentucky RZ was interesting. I'm almost through Genesis Noir. It isn't really my favorite but I have stayed interested enough, and it seems short enough, to stay through the end

This is great, I was curious about this game!

I earn 8 to 10,000 points per month, which gets me 10 usd to spend in the store. So I'm not earning the max as others are, but really like the program and consider it a major perk in the MS ecosystem

I bet MS are so confident in this deal they already have HR drafting hundreds of termination notices for AB staff and a huge golden parachute for Bobby. I mean, I hate for that to be true, and I hope it's not, but I fully expect it from a merger like this. I like this deal as a GP subscriber, but I hate it as a human.

@Tharsman I think of Deathloop as AAA, although maybe not as exciting a release as many had played on PS. I wouldn't want to sell it short. I agree it was not a bad year for me as a gamepass subscriber without a ton of free time for gaming. I had a lot of fun with what I played.

I do like these types of graphics. I see similar on the Nintendolife site and always enjoy them

@Would_you_kindly it might be a timed exclusive.

Pun very much intended, in case that is in doubt

@GuyinPA75 Personally, I get big games on sale, and very rarely pay full price. But I am willing to wait and play my backlog in the meanwhile. Gamepass allows my cheap self to play a subset of new games (granted, small for the past year or so) without the extra investment. The S is a dream come true for me, lowest cost next Gen console and a library of games for a reasonable monthly fee. And the rewards program further helps with cost, either subsidizing GP or new game purchase

I have no nostalgia for this, and thus no interest. But happy for the people who have been waiting for it for so long - enjoy!

I had Telling Lies on my list because of Immortality, but I cannot play everything, just not enough time. I've played Donut County and own on another system.

I recently started The Ascent. I'm starting to worry, I think it is coming up on a year and I am slow at completions...

I'm looking forward to Inkul... and Atomic Heart. Realistically, I don't have time to play more, but I would love to see a few more indies added. I'm holding out hope that Rogue Legacy 2 (or even 1) or that Lamb game whose name eludes me (lamb of god?) could come to GP someday. There are bunch like that, old and new, I'd love to check out

In 2022 there were 2 major release Pinnochio films, and now this. Is Pinnochio the new zombies? Is everything going to be Pinnochio for a while?

These types of articles are interesting to an extent, but I don't know the subscription model payout structure for devs and pubs, how GP payments differ from Apple Arcade or the PS or google versions, etc., and it is still pretty new. I guess we'll all see how it pans out. I've been on gamepass just over a year. I bought a Series S just to get gamepass and use it like am arcade, and that's pretty much what I have done. Mainly playing "indies," based mostly on what is available in genres I like, and also I tend to seek shorter games. It also let's me play big, longer games and bounce off without buyer's remorse. But if all these planned huge games come out this year, all that may change and I may ignore the indies for the bigger games. Like I say, it is pretty new and always changing, so tough to say. Based on January, I will be playing the Inkulati (sorry for spelling) game and ignoring the AAA offerings. That won't be the case in Feb. I don't know if Inkylati is truly indie either. Defining indie is like defining craft beer, it's a really big tent.
