I'm guessing about 70% Xbox for me this year. There's been some great games on the system as well. The other 30% belongs to the Switch 2, mostly the last 2 months. Some excellent games already on it.
Picked up Alan Wake 2 and The Crew Motorfest in the current sale, so been playing those all Weekend. And some Split Fiction on Switch 2. Happy gaming everyone.
GP Ultimate is a roughly 50% increase in Australia. Probably the same everywhere. That's a step to far. Will step down to the essential tier and continue to buy only what I need. MS slowly but surely losing their fanbase
I started Claire Obscur today and my heavens, what a wonderful game. A special mention to the music in the game. Along with South of Midnight some of the best, and really adds to the experience.
Picked up a Switch 2, so playing Mario kart World and Street Fighter 6 pretty much all weekend. Online MK World is brilliant. Also still getting through South of Midnight which I love. Happy gaming.

Re: Deals: Xbox Seasonal Savings Sale Now Live, 400+ Games Included
@Evilinsane I am a notoriously slow gamer unfortunately, just not enough time. I'm only about an hour in, but really like it so far.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 18-19)
@Medic_alert Enjoying it. I tend to like these unusual type of games.
Will probably buy it when it gets some sort of sale.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 18-19)
@Medic_alert Same for me. GPU ends tomorrow so playing Keeper to see if it's something I'd buy. It's pretty cheap.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 18-19)
I have started Keeper. Weird as, but I find it quite soothing to play.
Still getting through South of Midnight as well. Love this game.
And on Switch 2 playing a bit of DK Bonanza.
Happy gaming everyone.
