LoL the comments are amazing... As a person over the age o 30 I too was not too familiar with RoadBlox. But I was looking into game developement so I started with a Youtube tutorial showing me how to make a Roblox game.
Okay so can anyone help me out here... I have been a part of the Xbox Insiders HUB for over 5 years... and am in the Alpha Skip Ahead Ring.ButI have noticed a bunch of times, when I see articles like this, that Insiders are now testing "the new Edge Browser" or something similar, that I always have trouble seeing where it actually tells me in the app that I am actually testing it. I know where it shows the very rare game betas that it puts in their... But I never seem to notice the new features or whatever that is being tested. Being in the highest ring available I figured I should easily be able to tell. Where do I go to tell that the Update Scanning is being improved right now??
Also I do try to consistently give feedback and do the weekly questionair thing, I am on a streak of 25+
@Cherip-the-Ripper The Xbox Series games are all on Game Pass. The games on 'Games With Gold' have been almost funny the quality has been so pathetic. They have really been keepin GP interestring in this insanely long drought of first party games... Besides Tunic n Shredder (both aren't even 1st party, they are just both exclusive to Xbox) They haven't had a game since MF Halo n Forza. So thankfully they have been staying on point with 3rd party games being added to the collection, a lot of games day n date even which has been really dope. We get Star Field at the end of the year, n Redfall hopefully. In 2023 Xbox has no excuses, they have to make sure no more games be slippin a year or whatever. We have to start having some of the heavy hitter games they showed when they did the Series X/S games show case... Like Fable n stuff.
It is honestly AMAZING that Xbox is actually beating out PS5 this year, we have dropped ZERO games. N PS has dropped multiple games! they should be slayin Xbox. Now if Xbox has proper games consistently... its game over for PS.
I am annoyed that Crusader Kings 3 doesn't have Mouse n Keyboard support. I even messaged the studio on Twitter about it and got no response at all. I get they spent a lot of time making the controller controls, but it would be easier to play with M&K
LoL Sony being like... "Big Bro Xbox, I never meant anything against you when I made that Game Sharing video 9 years ago... I swear.. Just wanted to show the new players how to share their games..." Xbox "Uhhh huhhh... Yeah, sure" PlayStation "Yeah so anyways, now that that is water under the bridge... About that Chip Priority.... anyway you could help your little bro out with some extra chips maybe??" Xbox "Oh hmmm well since you never meant anything about that game sharing video a while back, let me take a look.... So I checked on the chips for you Pee Station, and yeah, yeah I don't have any extra chips at all... Using all the ones that we have right now...Thanks for letting me know about the game sharing ***** though. Can you please get the hell out of my bedroom now? Thanks."
They just added Cricket 22 to game pass just now. LoL honestly looks like a decent game, I just do not kno anything about the game of Cricket.
Also funny that I was looking to see if MLB The Show had been added yet and to my surprise Cricket 22 was their instead haha.
Maybe this will be the game that gets the USA into Cricket... Maybe all of the MLB teams will just say screw it, and become Cricket teams... That could be cool. LoL Yeah I am stoned and think Cricket is funny I guess.
@Resi32 "I mean a real release date, not a guess."
Resi my man, you sound like you belong at Home Depot... Cause you are a real tool. Seeing as they have over 7 months until the announced date, the date your first comment declared that they had never put out yet. You are a hater, with no reason to be. People do not like hanging out with people like you.
If you are a Xbox Insider... Go to the Insider HUB this weekend. The Evil Dead is having an open Beta for all Xbox Insiders! As of now everyone who tries is getting in.
I noticed two nights ago out of the blue, that the other two games that are part of the GTA Remastered collection, Vice City and GTA3 are now just randomly available for free. I am assuming they will be coming to Game Pass soon or something and this is a glitch.
San Andreas came to Game Pass on its launch date. N the other night I was randomly going through the "Full Library" section of my games, which is over 300+, which made it extra random that I noticed the addition of the other GTA games.
I downloaded both and they both fully work.
Also another heads up... Far Cry 6 and Lost Judgement are free to play this weekend! Far Cry 6 has some random DLC coming out too that is a collaboration with the Netflix show Stranger Things.
Thanks Pure Xbox for being such a great place to find Xbox news!

@FraserG Thanks, I did notice that yesterday... But when I went to connect to the multiplayer my game was having trouble. I was fully online, in a party chat even. Anyone else having trouble getting MP to work for Shredders?
@sjbsixpack Word, and at least for the fighting game, each console had a couple different characters also... But throwing them all in the way they are, does kinda feel like a cheap way to say they have 13 different Turtles games in the package... When it is more like 8 or something. But either way, if they really have online multiplayer for Turtles in Time, I will be gettin this day one.
I'll give it a go when it's out because it is free. None of my friends will sadly, but I'm sure it will be fun for a few weeks here n there. I totally remember this being at E3 2019 or something, I never got to play a beta myself but heard decent to good things.
I am looking forward to that crazy fighting game, multiverses, or whatever it'd called with Shaggy n Superman n stuff... Last I heard that was going to be releasing around now, But we haven't seen a thing since initial announcement.
Werid... come to think of it, I actually wanna play another F2P game that has been MIA for quite some time... Exo Mecha! They need to get that game out asap while their are no FPS games ruling the platform at the moment.
I like the single player for the main game, but I was hoping for some end game content to have online Quidditch matches and PvP wizard team death match lol. That woulda been dope.
@Dezzy70 Cool, and yeah bundles are kinda lame.... But this is PUREXBOX, why not spam that on a PlayStation focused site... Where people might actually give a *****. Just saying Dezzy
@PhhhCough Word, I have been all about MS Reward Points for years now. I have not paid for Game Pass Ultimate since it was revealed haha. I either get the monthly or 3 month game pass ultimate passes with MS reward points. Sometimes I have enough to get gift cards too, but mostly I just make sure I always have enough to pay for my game pass for free.
I have been waiting for this since it was announced. So happy to see that this didn't give it a CrossFire X style review. I like playing Session and Skater XL n both pretty much don't have any missions really, it's just fun to skate around. I feel like this game ill be similar, I hope someday you can ride the mountain with friends though! That would be a great way to add tons to replay value
Everyone saying it is only $10 bucks... I just went to the Xbox store to see whats up with it and the $10 version is for just GTA5 Online. If you want the full version of the game, online and story mode, it is $20 to upgrade it to the Series X/S version (you must already have the game and are just upgrading it). I would be more down if the entire game was for $10, and if it looked like some of the insanely great graphic mods I see on youtube, I swear people have modded the game to look damn near real haha.
@UltimateOtaku91 True, well mainly as far as the amount of money spent on each brands console... But when it comes to unit sales, Nintendo Switch has pretty much been steady on top for a couple years now. The Switch has been hands down the real king of sales since the PS5 and Xbox Series generation has started. The Switch would be owning PS and Xbox on money spent if the Switch cost as much or even close to as much as Xbox and PS systems cost.
I am a huge Xbox fan, obviously, I am here and comment on a majority of articles here. So please don't take this comment as some sort of troll or put down to PS or Xbox.... Just stating some facts.
@Krzzystuff
Yeah they most definitely have a deal with Twitch... I guess since it has been a little while and the last time we have seen Xbox on stage was their E3 show and then a few things at the VGA's. I am sure with the overwhelming vocal majority not enjoying the Twitch show format, I am sure Xbox will find a new partnership or just start using a much better format for their showcases as soon as they can.
Next year, with Activision more than likely being under their wing. Xbox will NEED to have 3-5 showcases during the year and every year going forward. I really am hoping they start doing a seasonal Game Pass show 3-4 times a year where they only showcase games that will be coming to Game Pass in the next 3-4 months (1st party and 3rd party games that they have signed). The show that the y had just before the Series consoles released that had something like 45 games featured and 42 of them were going to be on Game Pass. The whole vibe that show gave off knowing everything was coming to Game Pass, made that show so ***** hype!
Global Publishing, 1st party Xbox Studios, Activision, and Bethesda should warrant as I mentioned 3-5 game showcases (seeing as a lot of the games we do know about are going to start coming out 2023 and 2024).
Sorry for the long ass comment, Hopefully you can read it before the Xbox Twitch show finishes up on the 16th LoL
Give yourself a 3-4 hour time slot for this show LoL. I'm laughin but at the same time I am 100% serious. We all should know that this will not be the 20 minute all game play/trailers that we are expecting. But instead will be a very bloated showcase that has tons of people that we have never heard of talking about a game they were assigned to, and clearly have never heard of the game previously and have done zero research. Most everyone that visits this website and comments, will know more about each game than the Twitch personalities/presenters during this show.
I was not sure if this was coming to Xbox.. at it's reveal yesterday at the PS State Of Play it only stated PS4 and PS5. So Stoked to hear Xbox is getting a version of this, and cool to hear they are doing a physical version too. I'm curious to see what major differences Sega, Nes, and Snes versions of games will really be. Either way, really looking forward to this.
LoL At first I looked at the list and was like everyone else and Mass Effect Legendary Edition is for sure the best game on it. I actually had never played any of the ME games all the way through, but when the Legendary edition came out on game pass I went all in and beat ME 1 2 and 3 back to back. Games are great, and they did a great job on the upgrade for sure. But then I thought about that, and I remembered... I beat all three of those games... MELE came out in January for console, the one on the list is just a cloud version that was added in Feb. I think a lot of people either saw just how shat the list of Feb games were and said F it I'll put the cloud version of ME as my pick... or people had a brain fart and mixed up that it came out on console the month before.
Last month was the weakest GP month in like over a year, So thank freakin god we are getting GOTG and Shredders in the next 12 days. Fingers crossed Shredders is actually good, been keeping tabs on that game for like a year plus or whenever it was first announced
Last thing, Where in the ***** is EXO MECHA?? Haven't heard a peep from them since the delay announcement, and it scheduled to be coming out now I thought.
@Nightcrawler71 Well I sure hope you don't eel like you need more memory, because one other kinda downfall to the Xbox Series X besides the memory cards only made by Seagate, they also only have one port for you to put a memory card into your system. So you could potentially upgrade to the 2 TB card but you cant just buy another one and add it on top
@NEStalgia When Steep launched you could not even grind while snowboarding... This gameplay is going to be much more bold and in my opinion way more fun than Steep. And what do you mean by "for more money"? Shredders is a Game Pass game... Steep did not drop into Game Pass until years after it was released.
Lo Wang was funny PC Gamer, I did find it a little on the nose the first hour or so when I played the Original Shadow Warrior. But by the end of SW2 I thought it was really fun and funny. Of course the PC and the Fanboy websites have the lamest reviews.
Attack of the Fanboy.... Now their are some very unaware problems with this game, I mean website. Please fix the issues and maybe we might enjoy a sequel, maybe.
If TUNIK is not on Game Pass I probbly won't play it until it is... Not to be a cheap *****, but they have promoted it for the last two years as an Xbox exclusive and along side all of the other Game Pass titles.
I sincerely hope that snowboarding game Shredders is dope. Been waiting on it for awhile, and I just hope it isn't some low quality Cross Fire X *****, cause I feel like I am the only one who ever mentions it and all marketing for the game has been fizzled out since its last delay
@belmont That sucks dude... I have not paid for Game Pass Ultimate in over a year and got a couple of $50 gift cards along the way. I'm glad not every subscriber to game pass does this too, so Xbox can make some money and doesn't take the game pass ultimate month passes of the redeem options or something haha.
I almost feel guilty for doing it... but then again, I have told at least 10 friends and none of them will do it, all for different reasons too. When you are getting free money essentially for playing Xbox, you can count me in.
Funny how every week Pure Xbox makes an article from something said on the Xbox2 Podcast on Rand Al Thor19's channel and only ever give Jez the props.... Rand Al Chop Liver as always hahaha. If you watch the show you know. N don't think that I mean that Pure Xbox is the only site that does this, it is practically industry protocol to make articles out of nuggets Jez drops on the show and never give Rand any name drop or anything lol
Has anyone heard any news at all about the Free to Play game Exo Mecha, that game has been radio silent for a long time... Feels like the only think they have said since announcing the game was that they needed to delay it to first quarter of 2022
This will probably be a year exclusive. Only Xbox does 3 Month console exclusivity deals (Stalker 2)... I can't believe Xbox only locked that down for 3 months. 6 Months sounds too good to be true imo, But it will be a nice surprise when Sifu drops on Xbox next year.
@VisitingComet1 Right, I mainly wanted a Series X at first just for Cyber Punk. On the Series X it really didn't have the preformance bugs, or at least not nearly as many, as what people were showing on YouTube and stuff. I beat the game without falling through the map or anything haha. But looking forward to this, I just started redownloading it and it is showing the optimized for Series consoles!
@Microbius Your first ever DLC purchase? Are you like 12 years old? Microtransactions are one thing and completely different than DLC. If I ever am really into a game, I usually buy the DLC or expansions to keep that game going... And more often than not the best content will end up being in paid DLC's or expansions
The fact that if you played the game as a solo player with bots to fill up the rest of the team... the game would not count that progression or some weird *****. That, and the game was just not even close to as fun as I predicted it to be in the months before launch sadly.
This Rainbow 6 Extraction game has been a huge surprise hit or me, I expected dog ***** before I tried it myself. R6E is honestly way more fun and B4B
@mousieone LoL I am not a complete *****, ou aren't schooling anyone with that comment. The game was delayed 8 months roughly... I would imagine having a studio running in full production for 8 months would cost some money right? So mabe the studio themselves are the ones eating that cost, obviously Xbox is not funding the entire cost of production because they literally only have a 3 month exclusivity of Stalker 2.
From what I am getting from you, you think that Xbox is going to get the game exclusive for longer now that the game was pushed back? Maybe we are just miss understanding each other... But yeah their is no way the length of exclusivity changes for Stalker 2 now
Cross Fire X Campaign portion is still not downloadable for Game Pass as of 8:15 AM Paciic Standard Time.
The only reason I want to even try the Catalyst Campaign portion out is because it is made by Remedy and not SmileGate.
Smile Gates Multiplayer turd is literally exactly the same as the Beta version that came out like a year and a half ago... The Beta even had the same maps and guns.... So they could have potentially ironed out some bugs (which I did not have any when I played the beta) but it is hard to imagine that Smile Gate was fully satisfied with what they put out for the base version of this game.
Maybe 3 or 4 maps that are assigned to certain game modes. For how long they have had to develop this game just from when they announced it in one of the Xbox shows last year, the should have been able to make double that (I feel like I could have made 8 maps using the PS4 game Dreams by myself in that time)
That is crazy, I have Phil AKA P3 on my friends list and totally did see him playing R6 Extraction the past couple of days.
In other news, the game is not a complete POS like the marketing made it out to be IMO. I actually really like the game a lot, it is a horde round based multiplayer/squads type game... except very much revolves around stealth and working as much as a team as possible. Very rewarding and tactical, not just another game where hordes or random enemies come and you mow them down until you are out of ammo. This game really did put a nice twist/spin to a what can be, very played out and boring game genre at this point.
The marketing just did the game no favors on the months coming up to launch. I think most people, as did I, figured the game was being "dumped" into Game Pass because the game publisher did not have any faith in the game or thought the game quality was sub par.
If you have not tried it for some reason and have Game Pass give it a try right now, just know it does take a little bit to figure out the game play flow and exactly what to do/need to communicate to your team as you play. Solid 8 out of 10 in my book.
I could have sworn Tom Henderson openly said that they did start working on Bully 2 long time ago but since have fully canceled the project. Bummer I would have loved to see a sequel and just something different besides GTA and RDR from Rock Star
@mousieone Sorry I know it has been a while since you made your comment reply towards me. All I really wanted to say is that even if the Stalker 2 devs did ask MS for more money (because they obviously did have to get more time to finish the game). You said something like, "more money would be more time being exclusive (on the Xbox)". And that is not how the deal is or would work. Games can have a projected time to be complete, and sometimes the corporate side of game studios will stand by that date no matter if a game is done or not and just expect to push out a patch that will hopefully finish a game or polish out the bugs... which never seems to work out as smoothly as hoped for haha. But the exclusivity time for Stalker 2 was agreed on when they first struck the deal with MS. It is only going to be a 3 month exclusive. That feels like way too short of a exclusivity window honestly. Sony fan boys will be mocking that they will just get the game in a couple of months and that it is not a Xbox game (which yes it is not an Xbox game, but the reason a platform invests in a game and makes a deal for exclusivity is to market a game and make it seem like it is exclusive. That is the hope anyways) I wish Xbox would have gotten to make it like a 6 month exclusive for giving the studio such a big push back in release dae and more money. Looking forward to hearing the deloper drama when this game finally does make it out.

I really am hoping they start doing a seasonal Game Pass show 3-4 times a year where they only showcase games that will be coming to Game Pass in the next 3-4 months (1st party and 3rd party games that they have signed). The show that the y had just before the Series consoles released that had something like 45 games featured and 42 of them were going to be on Game Pass. The whole vibe that show gave off knowing everything was coming to Game Pass, made that show so ***** hype!
Global Publishing, 1st party Xbox Studios, Activision, and Bethesda should warrant as I mentioned 3-5 game showcases (seeing as a lot of the games we do know about are going to start coming out 2023 and 2024).
Sorry for the long ass comment, Hopefully you can read it before the Xbox Twitch show finishes up on the 16th LoL
Re: ID@Xbox March Showcase Will Detail Upcoming Indies On Xbox Game Pass
Give yourself a 3-4 hour time slot for this show LoL. I'm laughin but at the same time I am 100% serious. We all should know that this will not be the 20 minute all game play/trailers that we are expecting. But instead will be a very bloated showcase that has tons of people that we have never heard of talking about a game they were assigned to, and clearly have never heard of the game previously and have done zero research. Most everyone that visits this website and comments, will know more about each game than the Twitch personalities/presenters during this show.

@Tasuki
Wow thanks for the info!!
Re: Konami Is Releasing TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection On Xbox
I was not sure if this was coming to Xbox.. at it's reveal yesterday at the PS State Of Play it only stated PS4 and PS5. So Stoked to hear Xbox is getting a version of this, and cool to hear they are doing a physical version too. I'm curious to see what major differences Sega, Nes, and Snes versions of games will really be. Either way, really looking forward to this.
Re: Pick One: What Was The Best Xbox Game Pass Addition In February?
LoL At first I looked at the list and was like everyone else and Mass Effect Legendary Edition is for sure the best game on it. I actually had never played any of the ME games all the way through, but when the Legendary edition came out on game pass I went all in and beat ME 1 2 and 3 back to back. Games are great, and they did a great job on the upgrade for sure. But then I thought about that, and I remembered... I beat all three of those games... MELE came out in January for console, the one on the list is just a cloud version that was added in Feb. I think a lot of people either saw just how shat the list of Feb games were and said F it I'll put the cloud version of ME as my pick... or people had a brain fart and mixed up that it came out on console the month before.
Last month was the weakest GP month in like over a year, So thank freakin god we are getting GOTG and Shredders in the next 12 days. Fingers crossed Shredders is actually good, been keeping tabs on that game for like a year plus or whenever it was first announced
Last thing, Where in the ***** is EXO MECHA?? Haven't heard a peep from them since the delay announcement, and it scheduled to be coming out now I thought.
Re: Shredders Finally Gets A March Release Date For Xbox Game Pass
@NEStalgia Do you have Riders Republic? It is pretty much a new upgraded version of Steep. The huge 60+ person races are where it is at!
Re: Talking Point: Have You Bought An Xbox Series X|S Expansion Card Yet?
@Nightcrawler71 Well I sure hope you don't eel like you need more memory, because one other kinda downfall to the Xbox Series X besides the memory cards only made by Seagate, they also only have one port for you to put a memory card into your system. So you could potentially upgrade to the 2 TB card but you cant just buy another one and add it on top
Re: Deals: Multiple Games Are Reduced By 90-95% On Xbox This Week
@awp69
Yup I felt the same way about Anthem... I really wish they would have actually spent the time to fix the game and put some legit content in it.
Re: Shredders Finally Gets A March Release Date For Xbox Game Pass
@NEStalgia
When Steep launched you could not even grind while snowboarding... This gameplay is going to be much more bold and in my opinion way more fun than Steep.
And what do you mean by "for more money"?
Shredders is a Game Pass game... Steep did not drop into Game Pass until years after it was released.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Shadow Warrior 3
Lo Wang was funny PC Gamer, I did find it a little on the nose the first hour or so when I played the Original Shadow Warrior. But by the end of SW2 I thought it was really fun and funny. Of course the PC and the Fanboy websites have the lamest reviews.
Attack of the Fanboy.... Now their are some very unaware problems with this game, I mean website. Please fix the issues and maybe we might enjoy a sequel, maybe.
Re: Xbox Game Pass March 2022 List: Coming Soon & Leaving Soon
@TheGrizMan Okay I bet it is on Game Pass by the 15th
Re: Roundup: Here's What's Coming To Xbox In March 2022
If TUNIK is not on Game Pass I probbly won't play it until it is... Not to be a cheap *****, but they have promoted it for the last two years as an Xbox exclusive and along side all of the other Game Pass titles.
I sincerely hope that snowboarding game Shredders is dope. Been waiting on it for awhile, and I just hope it isn't some low quality Cross Fire X *****, cause I feel like I am the only one who ever mentions it and all marketing for the game has been fizzled out since its last delay
Re: PSA: Buying Elden Ring On Xbox? Check Microsoft Rewards First
@belmont That sucks dude... I have not paid for Game Pass Ultimate in over a year and got a couple of $50 gift cards along the way. I'm glad not every subscriber to game pass does this too, so Xbox can make some money and doesn't take the game pass ultimate month passes of the redeem options or something haha.
I almost feel guilty for doing it... but then again, I have told at least 10 friends and none of them will do it, all for different reasons too. When you are getting free money essentially for playing Xbox, you can count me in.
Re: Xbox RPG Avowed Reportedly Targeting Early 2023 Release Date
Funny how every week Pure Xbox makes an article from something said on the Xbox2 Podcast on Rand Al Thor19's channel and only ever give Jez the props.... Rand Al Chop Liver as always hahaha. If you watch the show you know. N don't think that I mean that Pure Xbox is the only site that does this, it is practically industry protocol to make articles out of nuggets Jez drops on the show and never give Rand any name drop or anything lol
Re: Xbox Game Pass February 2022 List: Coming Soon & Leaving Soon
@themightyant Yeah they announced that they were shutting down the servers for Titanfall 1 a few weeks ago.

Re: Hands On: Cyberpunk 2077's Next-Gen Upgrade Is A Major Improvement On Xbox Series X
Has anyone heard any news at all about the Free to Play game Exo Mecha, that game has been radio silent for a long time... Feels like the only think they have said since announcing the game was that they needed to delay it to first quarter of 2022
Re: MLB The Show 22 Is Getting A Free Tech Test On Xbox This Week
@Quaali At the main home screen on Xbox, Hit Y, that brings up a search bar, then type in "MLB The Show 22 Tech" it will come up for you to download.
Re: Sifu Xbox Release: When Is It Coming To Series X And Series S?
This will probably be a year exclusive. Only Xbox does 3 Month console exclusivity deals (Stalker 2)... I can't believe Xbox only locked that down for 3 months. 6 Months sounds too good to be true imo, But it will be a nice surprise when Sifu drops on Xbox next year.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Is Showing Up As 'Optimised For Xbox Series X|S'
@VisitingComet1 Right, I mainly wanted a Series X at first just for Cyber Punk. On the Series X it really didn't have the preformance bugs, or at least not nearly as many, as what people were showing on YouTube and stuff. I beat the game without falling through the map or anything haha. But looking forward to this, I just started redownloading it and it is showing the optimized for Series consoles!
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Is Showing Up As 'Optimised For Xbox Series X|S'
@Microbius Your first ever DLC purchase? Are you like 12 years old? Microtransactions are one thing and completely different than DLC. If I ever am really into a game, I usually buy the DLC or expansions to keep that game going... And more often than not the best content will end up being in paid DLC's or expansions
Re: Huge Back 4 Blood Update Addresses Game Balance Issues On Xbox
The fact that if you played the game as a solo player with bots to fill up the rest of the team... the game would not count that progression or some weird *****. That, and the game was just not even close to as fun as I predicted it to be in the months before launch sadly.
This Rainbow 6 Extraction game has been a huge surprise hit or me, I expected dog ***** before I tried it myself. R6E is honestly way more fun and B4B
Re: Rumour: Xbox Exclusive Redfall Could Be Next In Line For A Delay
@mousieone LoL I am not a complete *****, ou aren't schooling anyone with that comment. The game was delayed 8 months roughly... I would imagine having a studio running in full production for 8 months would cost some money right? So mabe the studio themselves are the ones eating that cost, obviously Xbox is not funding the entire cost of production because they literally only have a 3 month exclusivity of Stalker 2.
From what I am getting from you, you think that Xbox is going to get the game exclusive for longer now that the game was pushed back? Maybe we are just miss understanding each other... But yeah their is no way the length of exclusivity changes for Stalker 2 now
Re: CrossfireX: How To Install The Campaign On Xbox Game Pass
Cross Fire X Campaign portion is still not downloadable for Game Pass as of 8:15 AM Paciic Standard Time.
The only reason I want to even try the Catalyst Campaign portion out is because it is made by Remedy and not SmileGate.
Smile Gates Multiplayer turd is literally exactly the same as the Beta version that came out like a year and a half ago... The Beta even had the same maps and guns.... So they could have potentially ironed out some bugs (which I did not have any when I played the beta) but it is hard to imagine that Smile Gate was fully satisfied with what they put out for the base version of this game.
Maybe 3 or 4 maps that are assigned to certain game modes. For how long they have had to develop this game just from when they announced it in one of the Xbox shows last year, the should have been able to make double that (I feel like I could have made 8 maps using the PS4 game Dreams by myself in that time)
Re: Xbox Fan Shares Their Experience Playing Game Pass With Phil Spencer
That is crazy, I have Phil AKA P3 on my friends list and totally did see him playing R6 Extraction the past couple of days.
In other news, the game is not a complete POS like the marketing made it out to be IMO.
I actually really like the game a lot, it is a horde round based multiplayer/squads type game... except very much revolves around stealth and working as much as a team as possible. Very rewarding and tactical, not just another game where hordes or random enemies come and you mow them down until you are out of ammo. This game really did put a nice twist/spin to a what can be, very played out and boring game genre at this point.
The marketing just did the game no favors on the months coming up to launch.
I think most people, as did I, figured the game was being "dumped" into Game Pass because the game publisher did not have any faith in the game or thought the game quality was sub par.
If you have not tried it for some reason and have Game Pass give it a try right now, just know it does take a little bit to figure out the game play flow and exactly what to do/need to communicate to your team as you play. Solid 8 out of 10 in my book.
Re: Insider Thinks Bully Is Still Being Worked On, Despite GTA 6 Announcement
I could have sworn Tom Henderson openly said that they did start working on Bully 2 long time ago but since have fully canceled the project. Bummer I would have loved to see a sequel and just something different besides GTA and RDR from Rock Star
Re: Rumour: Xbox Exclusive Redfall Could Be Next In Line For A Delay
@mousieone
Sorry I know it has been a while since you made your comment reply towards me. All I really wanted to say is that even if the Stalker 2 devs did ask MS for more money (because they obviously did have to get more time to finish the game). You said something like, "more money would be more time being exclusive (on the Xbox)".
And that is not how the deal is or would work. Games can have a projected time to be complete, and sometimes the corporate side of game studios will stand by that date no matter if a game is done or not and just expect to push out a patch that will hopefully finish a game or polish out the bugs... which never seems to work out as smoothly as hoped for haha.
But the exclusivity time for Stalker 2 was agreed on when they first struck the deal with MS. It is only going to be a 3 month exclusive. That feels like way too short of a exclusivity window honestly. Sony fan boys will be mocking that they will just get the game in a couple of months and that it is not a Xbox game (which yes it is not an Xbox game, but the reason a platform invests in a game and makes a deal for exclusivity is to market a game and make it seem like it is exclusive. That is the hope anyways)
I wish Xbox would have gotten to make it like a 6 month exclusive for giving the studio such a big push back in release dae and more money. Looking forward to hearing the deloper drama when this game finally does make it out.
