Personally I feel Moon has created unnecessary drama with this announcement. Why not just say the Xbox version has been delayed or we're working through something with Xbox. I think the original statement they released is confusing and created negativity.

The game looks awesome. It's on my radar. Ultimately it depends if it's on a platform that I have access to.

I'll pick The Outer World 2 but I'm looking forward to playing COD and Keeper too. I'll wait and see what everyone says about Ninja Gaiden.

When I clicked on the link for 3 months of ultimate for $49, it showed up as the normal price of $59. I'm assuming Amazon has already closed this sale.

This one doesn't excite me much, but it's great for those who have been hoping for this on the Xbox.

I personally really enjoy Xbox at the moment. It's been great on my Series X and our PC. Game Pass is really good value.

I think the writing is on the wall about the future of the brand's hardware. But I'm gaming in the "now". I'm currently enjoying the system and games. Who knows what system or service I'll be gaming on 3+ years from now. It doesn't mean I'm happy with this direction, but I am really enjoying the current run of awesome games they're putting out.

I was about halfway through the campaign on Ultimate Edition when they announced this. I decided to put a pin in that session and wait for reloaded to come out.

I agree with other's post above, they need to do this with 2 & 3, specifically 2. Gear 2 was the reason I purchased a 360!

I love achievements, but not achievement hunting. When I'm playing games I'm really enjoying and planning on finishing, I really do try to lock down as many as I can, but I also don't get too stressed if I miss some either.

I'm not planning on purchasing games on this list, just to boost my score. I'd rather my money go somewhere else.

Chicken Horse is awesome fun but I'll stick with that on the Switch.

I can't wait to play TH3+4!

I just started this game last night. I made it through the prologue and stopped after the cut scene at the beginning of Act 1. I'm playing on Expedition difficulty but I'll admit that timing the dodge and parry has been a struggle for me. Story seems cool so far.

I'm interested. I thought the base game was awesome.

1. Clockwork
2. The Outer Worlds 2
3. High on life 2
4. Dawnwalker
5. Indy DLC

Neon Inferno looks really cool.

I'm now a couple more chapters into South of Midnight and I have an update in regard to my placement of South of Midnight not being as good as Indy. I still think Indy is a better game, but South of Midnight is closing he game a little. The story is good and the world they are building in South of Midnight is very unique and fresh! I'm loving it.....just not as much as I enjoyed Indy.

Even if I started that game the day it dropped on gamepass, there's absolutely no chance that I would have been able to finish it in that time period. Add in the fact that there's so many quality games competing for gamer's attention, that low number doesn't surprise me at all.

Personally, I'm much more likely to start Avowed, Clair, or Doom first.

I just recently finished Indy and immediately started South of Midnight. I'm only about 4-5 chapters into South of Midnight but from what I've played, I prefer Indiana Jones overall. I am really enjoying the story and style of South of Midnight, but in my opinion, the controls and camera are not near as good as Indy. I'm excited to get to Avowed, Doom, and Elder at some point.

I've owned most Nintendo Systems throughout the years. I will continue that with the Switch 2. But it will not be on day one. I can't justify the purchase right now with the backlog of games I have on PC/Xbox/Switch.

Gears 2 & 3 for me! Although the OG, especially the remake, is also really good.

I've owned systems from many companies, I tend to keep coming back to Xbox and Nintendo. Personally, gamepass is awesome! I do probably 75% on Series X and the other 25% on PC; but primarily it's just games on gamepass.

So happy I picked up my Series X for a great deal back in November!

I had gamepass last year for a couple months for the PC. It was okay at the time but we found ourselves playing the same basic games that were cheaper to straight up buy.

We got a Xbox in December and we've subscribed to Ultimate since then. All I can say is that it's been A++ since then. However, if I had to pick the strongest month, I would agree that it's probably been April.

I saw there's no review for it on this site. Can anyone who played this offer an opinion? Thanks in advance!

The sale is incredible. So many great games on that list.

But for me, the current backlog is too large for me to justify a purchase.

Is there a better subscription than Gamepass at the moment? I have no regrets spending my hard earned money on Ultimate.

I'm guessing I'm about halfway through Indiana Jones. Next up is South of Midnight. Then it's going to come down to Clair, Oblivion, or one of the many other banger titles on the service. Doom is right around the corner!

Great! Another huge game that I want to play but no extra time to dedicate to it at the moment.

There are soooo many awesome games and just too little time.

I had probably over 300+ hours into the original Fallout 3 back on the 360. I just got around to finally playing and finishing Fallout 4. As much as this pains me to say, I don't know if I'm too interested in revisiting the wasteland anytime soon.

Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games though. (Fallout 4 is pretty great as well!)

I wonder how many go directly to spam or into the trash?

None here.

There are sooooo many great games included in this sale. If I didn't subscribe to Ultimate and have a growing backlog of games included with the pass, I would definitely pick a game up.

We owned this on PS4 but I never really played it back then for longer than 15 minutes. Others in my family did and loved it. I played 3, Vice, and San Andreas a lot. I bought 4 but never gave it a chance because I was really into some other games at that time.

I will definitely pick this up while its on the pass.

I won't pay for this game. It's the visuals and style for me.

....and a huge backlog of other games that I want to play to take a chance on something I'm only a little interested in.

@Kaloudz Same here! But I'll probably DL it to play short sessions.

I don't think I'm interested in any of the other titles.

I have no comment about the practice of selling hard copies of games but needing to install additional stuff to make the game run.

I will say that I'm finally playing through the game and it's awesome. It was a bit of a slow start and I questioned if I should move on from it, but I stuck it out and I'm loving it now. It's really good if you give it a chance. I just arrived in Egypt in the game.

Won't happen, but I'd love a new Left4Dead.

So, I've spent most of my time since December finally playing through Fallout 4. I did spend time playing Balatro during this time period too. I finally finished Fallout last Friday and was going to wait patiently for South of Midnight.....but I instead I started Indiana Jones instead. I will say that Balatro is my favorite game that I downloaded this year but I also think that came out in 2024 so I'm not sure that counts. Lonely Mountains is really good for what it is.

So I'll say that because most of the games I've played are older, and because that limits my choice, I'll go with Indian Jones. The game looks amazing. The experience is cool. The story is cool. I just don't think it does anything groundbreaking.

@FraserG I try to give it a second go and report back.

@FraserG Maybe I did something wrong because I currently subscribe to Gamepass Ultimate, but for some reason, the version of Madden I thought was incomplete. Maybe I missed something in game, but I thought it said I couldn't do ultimate team in Madden.

Hey I'm still relatively new to Gamepass so this may be a dumb question, but:

Are all the EA Sports titles that are on Gamepass not fully unlocked versions?

I'm typically Nintendo first gamer, but this has me very happy to keep paying for my Gamepass fee!

I've had gamepass on and off on the PC for over 2 years, but I've had ultimate going every month since December. I have no regrets. It has awesome value and I don't second guess it.

I'm close to finally completing Fallout 4 and I'm pumped to start either this on day 1 or playing Indiana Jones, then South of Midnight.

I'll patiently wait but I don't think that's a bad deal for what you're getting. If I wasn't preoccupied with other games at the moment, I think I would consider this one.

I'll be playing the Blizzard Arcade Collection. I loved The Lost Vikings when it originally came out many many years ago. I'm excited to see how it's aged.

I'll vote "NONE". Should have been an obvious choice.

Unless Microsoft/Xbox are rescuing these IPs because Ubi is completely done, I'd personally like them all to stay where they belong.

The other exception would be Xbox dumping money into Ubi developing something for Xbox that maybe they haven't done or need help with. Sort of like Nintendo did with Bayonetta.

@FraserG @Beetlebum91 For some reason I always seem to gravitate to the Two Pair and Straight as well. I find the hand isn't near as important as the Joker combos.

@Beetlebum91 I know the question wasn't directed at me but I find it interesting. I tend to use straights or two pair a lot and I was just thinking about if other gamers had a tendency to lean on a specific hand like me. The flush is something I always forget to look for.

I currently have 11 hours into this game. I love it. I've complete 2-3 runs, I can't remember exactly how many but it's definitely multiple runs completed. I've sat down and played this for a couple hours after getting sucked into "just one more game"! I've also used this game as quick sessions to provide a break from playing more story driven games. I also played this game when I've had only 15-20 minutes to game. The game is simple yet very strategic. I find it to really shine when you stumble upon a combination of joker cards that just shoot your scores up.

I apologize for asking what I anticipate being a dumb question....but, what is Game Club?

I understand that it's a community group that play a different game each month and discuss it. But is there other criteria? Are the games chosen based on anything or just by vote?

I voted "10", but after thinking more, I think I'm more like a 7 or 8. I'm hopeful that this game plays well. I'm sold on the art style, world, and story. I currently subscribe to Ultimate Gamepass so I'll probably be checking it out day 1 or at least soon after release.

It's really good. The gameplay and strategy is a lot of fun. I managed to complete a run by the 2nd-3rd day. I have high hopes for what this game can become in future sequels; if they decide to make sequels.

I'm having trouble understanding the comments saying its not a game. Sure it may not be for everyone but it's not just video poker.

I think the second statistic is more telling than the first.

The first number is 70% and refers to players who played one of those top 10 Live Service games in the month of January. That could be someone like me who played Marvel Rivals one time for like 30 minutes.

The second number of 40% represents total time spent playing one of those same games. Like others already pointed out, there are other Live Service games that aren't included in that number because they're outside of the top 10. That number is huge! It's almost half the total time played in January is dedicated to just those 10 games....all of which are Live Service.

I also find it interesting that the Switch is probably the opposite. Most of those games aren't even on the system. (this is just a guess, don't kill me if that info is out there somewhere)

I've almost pulled the trigger on this many times over on the Switch but I knew it would show up on Gamepass so I've been patiently waiting. I got to sample it on Dave the Diver.

Last night, I played it for about 3 hours. I loved every minute of my game session. I can't wait to play it again. It's simple, yet very strategic. If you're looking for deep story and killer graphics, this isn't it. If you're looking for pick-up and play fun, it's awesome.

I knew this day would come and I have patiently waited for it. Can't wait to dive into this one.
