Hope it's a proper challenger to Gamepass. Can definitely see me jumping from one subscription to the other depending on what games I want to play in the future.
This is the first time I've gotten into an online multiplayer shooter. Normally I just play campaigns and leave after. But I've gotten hooked on this. Love this game.
FH5 is great, but it's not a game I'm playing much of. I like that I can jump in every so often and there will always be something new for me to try out in it.
My 2013 Xbox One still working great. I use it occasionally when I don't have access to the main TV where my Series S is. The xcloud option is a dream, streaming Halo Infinite is a great feature to have on a 9 year old console.
On my own on TV, Halo Infinite and Avengers. On my phone using xcloud, Gears Tactics (someone here recommended it to me, great recommendation). With the wife on TV, It Takes Two.
As a result of only returning to Xbox a month ago for the first time in about 5 years, im focusing on a lot of Gamepass stuff. So no purchases for me. I've lots of great games to tackle as it is
I'm a returning Xbox player. Haven't really played on Xbox since 2016 but I got the Series S a month ago. Almost every game I play is a Gamepass game but that might be different next year.
I've played a bit of Xcom and enjoyed it. Also played a lot of Mario+Rabbids (as my profile pic shows) which I believe is similar so I'm definitely on for trying that style of game. And Gears is one of my favourite franchises so I can see this appealing to me.
Haven't played many Xbox games this year, only got my Series S a month ago. But Forza 5 and Halo Infinite are on my list. Also really enjoyed The Artful Escape. Its not heavy on actual gameplay but it's a great experience. Especially with headphones.
Loved the kinect. It arrived at the perfect time where I was working and living with mates and it felt like I was back in college playing boxing and dance games. Great fun.
@gollumb82 my feelings exactly. I already have plenty of devices that will run xCloud including Kishi with my phone. No need for a dedicated machine for just that purpose. Not for me anyways.
@PhhhCough Obviously . I downloaded Forza Horizon 5 as its the big game everyone is playing right now. Also downloaded Gears 5 as thats one of my fav ever franchises. So far I'm loving it, it's more Gears which is what I love. Also downloaded Avengers to try it out. And I did actually buy one game because it was going so cheap and I love the series, Tekken 7. I bought that just before I signed up for Gamepass. So I'm gonna be a busy guy for awhile. Been playing on my phone through xCloud a bit too. Works like a dream, as good as Stadia which I also use a lot.

Re: Nacon's MG-X Pro Xbox Cloud Gaming Controller Releases Today
Bluetooth? Pity. I'm sure it's decent but USB C would have been better. I'll be sticking with my Razer Kishi. Works great and much neater too.

Re: Bad News, Stalker 2 Has Been Delayed To December 2022
To be expected. Take every release date with a pinch of salt this year. And then throw some more salt on top of that.

Guess I'll just play it in the cloud for the first while. Then download over night.
Re: Reaction: Halo Infinite Caps Off An Incredible Year For Xbox Game Studios
Went for a C but it was borderline B. Very empty first half of the year is the main reason for a drop.

Re: Xbox Reportedly 'Dabbling' With Handheld Console Prototypes For Cloud Gaming
@gollumb82 my feelings exactly. I already have plenty of devices that will run xCloud including Kishi with my phone. No need for a dedicated machine for just that purpose. Not for me anyways.
