Don’t think I agree with the brand being stronger now than ever before when there’s so many games that were once exclusive now going on to rival platforms.
Be cool for the original MW2 to be brought onto Game Pass and would give the servers a boost probably only for short time but it’s more likely to be the single player remaster in my opinion.
Definitely the right thing to do and I can absolutely understand the reasons behind this decision. Wouldn’t make any sense to bring out Football Manager 2025 now at this point in the season do fair play to them for making what was no doubt hard decision.
Being honest, I’d be surprised if this was released this year also. Don’t get me wrong, I would love for it be to this year but right now I can’t see it even with their assurances.
Stop reminding us about how good Xbox used to be with these articles! I have to agree with what others have said here, Xbox 360 and PS3 was the best generation for me also. Think the whole HD graphics was exciting to me and seeing how good they could become.
So long as they actually do it right this time and provide some content with updates. There was so much potential for portal on BF2042 and it was forgot about.
You only have one pair of hands so don’t see the point having so many controllers but I guess people like to collect them? Love how this looks but don’t need it to be honest.
Absolutely love Sonic but I’m not surprised with how many games have been brought out over recent years and also like the article states, This new movie has definitely no doubt helped also.
I never understood making character skins limited runs which could only be purchased or unlocked for a certain period and then never to be brought back. They’d surely make more money by having all the character skins on the shop?
Turok has been slept on for so long, It’s about time they brought out another one. This looks like it could be pretty good. Let’s hope so. The only bad thing I can say is how boring it’s starting to get with games being called Origins.
Yeh it would be nice to see some gameplay that’s for sure and also release date. There’s been plenty of Sonic games recently and another movie so loads of content right now.
There’s not much on here that I’ve played but for me in a personal sense it has to be Tomb Raider. Had an absolute blast playing through those games and they look so good with updated graphics.
Good article. Interesting to read up on what’s been happening with this game. I played Test Drive Unlimited 2 on PS3 and loved it but being able to have things to do around the map was a big part of it and so I have to wonder; what’s the point bringing back the map if there’s nothing much to do?
I’d love for the older classic CODs to get brought onto Game Pass. Like others here have already said, Let’s hope it can breathe new life into them again.
Hey that’s cool, I never knew you could do this but like somebody else has already mentioned, You could also search for a picture and use that but it’s a nice feature to be able to have.
Seriously, People aren’t happy about this? The dashboard looks far and beyond better without nonsense cluttering it up like adverts and things you don’t need or use.
You can tell who here in the comments have spent money on these dopey things. Funny enough I was thinking about this recently because I had played a match on Black Ops 6 where I had faced a person on the other team using this skin on a snow map. Pretty easy to spot them and kill them over and over. Don’t know why you would put yourself at such a disadvantage.
Xbox One is the only console I have right now and I use it pretty much everyday and I don’t plan on buying another console to upgrade as I’m happy enough to be honest.
Definitely like the sounds of this but only as long as you have decent internet connection to be able to do it. I’d not want to have connection problems if playing MW2 online multiplayer.
Played San Andreas for the first time in probably close to 20 years when it came out on Game Pass and there were definitely problems, so these updates have made things so much better since then. Too bad it wasn’t released in the condition that it’s in now tho.
Perhaps they’re not getting the sales or maybe they’re going to bring out some Sega compilation with all these games included. Kinda like Rare Replay, Who knows?
Does anybody else think it’s weird to say Xbox’s Call of Duty series? I know Microsoft own Activision now but most of those sales didn’t happen under their ownership.
To be honest I never liked Nuketown that much but it’s been in every single Black Ops so it’s only right for it to be in this one also. Don’t know why it wasn’t already there from launch day tho?
Thanks for the article! Didn’t know when I was going to be able to preload onto my console so it’s good to have the chance to get it ready before Friday.
Yes man, This is proper epic. I’ve been playing through the Tomb Raider remastered trilogy recently and had an absolute blast. They’re really well done and it’s great they’re doing another trilogy with these ones.
I’m absolutely loving these older games getting brought back as ports over recent years. Always found it hard to play when I was a kid but I’d love to have another go.
Yeh I would agree with other people here and say not being able to use ad blocker sucks but I also agree with the article here, I absolutely love using the internet browser on my Xbox One console and do so pretty much every day for watching YouTube videos. I actually like it better than the app because you can open up multiple videos to watch one after the other.
Black Ops 2 is my favourite box art, It’s my avatar here on Pure Xbox also so I suppose that’s pretty obvious choice. As for Xbox only games, I’d say Halo 4. Always liked that box art.
There was an article I read saying about how they were going to remove certain features to make it less complicated and I’d be happy with that because it’s hard to play sometimes with too much being on screen at once.

Re: Xbox Loses Upcoming Game Pass Title As Football Manager 25 Gets Cancelled

Re: Epic Games Suffers Controversy As Master Chief Returns To Fortnite After 935 Days

Re: Poll: What Is Your Xbox Game Of The Year For 2024?

Re: Football Manager 25 Is Getting A Massive Revamp On Xbox Game Pass This November
