I bought a grand total of zero games on Xbox (either digital or physical) last year. Everything I play on Xbox is either from my backlog or from GamePass. I do, however, still buy games on Steam (digital, obviously) and PS5/Switch (physical, strictly exclusives).
So disappointed at the lack of cross-progression/cross-saves... Was looking forward to juggling MHR on the Steam Deck and on Series X, just like on the updated Witcher 3, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. Shame.
@DeathByLasagna Absolutely! Having said that, I wish PlayStation's offer was actually much better, as that would certainly push MS to keep improving GamePass. As it stands, MS has very little to worry about...
The Octopath photo is the exact same as the “Destiny 2 at the airport” photo (https://twitter.com/aarongreenberg/status/1371606211414532099?s=21). Same table, computer, position of drinks... all the same, except for the game on screen. Was that an intentional Photoshop?
I like the “Medals” idea. I usually don’t bother with achievement hunting because the points system is not enticing for me. The “medals” would be an instant reminder of how many games I actually played to completion - just like the Platinum trophies on PS.

Re: Talking Point: Who Would You Cast As 'Delta Squad' In The Upcoming Gears Of War Movie?
Not too worried about the cast, just wish it follows the source material a little better than what they did to Halo. (My personal opinion, of course)

Re: The Ascent Is Bringing DLSS, Ray Tracing To Xbox Game Pass For PC
Any hint that RT is coming to the Series consoles?
Re: Argh! Sea Of Thieves Is Getting A Pirates Of The Caribbean Expansion
I’m assuming it’s still 100% multiplayer oriented, right? My hopes for a “single player story mode” are just useless, right?
Re: Dying Light Is Still Getting New Content, Six Years After Release
Still hasn’t been optimized for the One X or the Series consoles, though, right?

Ah, if only they "fps boosted" GTA V...
Re: Thanks To Smart Delivery, Marvel's Avengers Is A Much Easier Upgrade On Xbox Than PS5
Shame about the file size, though - 106GB on SX vs 74GB on PS5, IIRC.
Re: Insider Advises What To Expect From Rumoured Xbox Bethesda Event
I’d be super glad if they simply announced Series X upgrades for their back catalog - would love to play Dishonored 2 at 4k60!

@Krzzystuff Can you see me waving? We’re on the same boat!

Have they announced any details on the Yakuza games in terms of Series X optimizations?
