That’s annoying. I’ve been averaging about $15-20 per month. But I guess it’ll be less now. I’d have probably spent my current point stash if I’d known. But then I’d have had to spend it in 90 days too!
@FarmDog08 dang you’re cruising! I just got to the island with all the statues (could have chosen that or a green tablet). I’m always excited to see what’s next
@Lup id loke to try that demo. Thanks. I was. I wonder if it will come to game pass? Wish the demo section was still sorted by newest first. Makes it hard to know when new demos release. Or impossible really.
@NicksyStixx12391 maybe, but what am I supposed to do about it? I’ve never had cramps from a controller before in my entire life, but the series controller gives them to me in 20 minutes. I’ve played almost every system since the Atari 2600 comfortably. It would be less of a hassle if they didn’t lock down the wireless architecture and make it impossible for 3rd parties to easily make their controllers compatible.
The xb1 controller was fine and was a better controller overall, just less features.
High on life 1 had games hidden in it? I think I missed them.
I enjoyed high on life, but it got a little long by the end, and I’m not itching to play the sequel necessarily. I’d like to, but there’s a lot I’d rather play.
Always fun when I buy a game day 1, don’t get around to playing it, and it’s cheaper a couple months later. I know I should never buy day 1, but it’s also nice to support what I love.
They keep adding stuff I don’t want and increasing the price. And making it more and more confusing. I should maybe just go to premium. If everything always comes to premium eventually, just not day1, then maybe that’s the one for me. I don’t always even care about day 1 stuff.
Not for everyone, if it’s for you, you’ll know about the time you see why they’re making you refill a bucket five times and their weird credits roll, if you weren’t already intrigued by the pixel interface, hallucinations, and weird falling minigame
I wish more of these were on game pass. Death howl looks super cool. I’m also really interested in showgunners and Star Trek voyager (both of which have demos I’ve been meaning to try).

@IronCrow86 does activision own those? These are all Microsoft/activision properties on here.
Re: Five New Games Added To Retro Classics On Xbox Game Pass In February 2026
I still can’t get it to run on my pc. just gives me a black screen.
And it’s a little awkward on console!
Re: One Of March's Most-Promising Xbox Game Pass Titles Has Been Delayed
@Naughtyottsel92 Xbox exclusive on an Xbox site… yeah so surprised no one is complaining…?
Re: One Of March's Most-Promising Xbox Game Pass Titles Has Been Delayed
Prefer late and delayed to unfinished or bad! I have plenty to play anyway. Anyone sane probably does.
Re: Avowed Xbox Anniversary Update Now Live, Here's Everything Included In Patch 2.0
Not sure why I played this when it came out. To support it, I guess. But A person is better off getting the premium tier and waiting a year.

Re: Microsoft Rewards Quietly Increases Its Prices For Xbox Gift Cards
@EdgarTheBug they train AI, get data and training on us from searches, and probably most importantly sell our data.

Re: These Eight Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (February 19 - March 3)
Wow. Kingdom come deliverance 2? Definitely gotta make time for that. Only issue is whether to play the first one first.
Witcher 3 is an odd choice, unless that rumored dlc is coming; then it makes perfect sense.
Re: Poll: What Are Your First Impressions Of High On Life 2 On Xbox & Game Pass?
If I had nothing else to play, I’d probably enjoy it. But I have too much and no time for it!
Re: Four Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass In Late February 2026
Didn’t monster train already leave once? It must have come back?
Expeditions is one I was excited to try, but it bugged out during the tutorial and kind of ended my excitement. Maybe not my type of game anyway.

@FarmDog08 same here. How far are you?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 14-15)
@FarmDog08 FFIV is one of my faves too. It redefined everything and sort of invented the modern jrpg in a lot of ways.

Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Confirmed For Xbox, And Konami Says It Marks A New 'Beginning'
It kinda just looks like rogue prince of Persia, not Castlevania.
Re: Here's What The Kingdom Come: Deliverance Upgrade Looks Like On Xbox Series X|S
@PressR2 super Mario bros ran at 60fps on the NES. Just depends what you’re doing.
Re: Here's What The Kingdom Come: Deliverance Upgrade Looks Like On Xbox Series X|S
It’s nice that it’s on game pass, I guess? But for $2.99…
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass, Including An ActiBlizz Surprise (February 12)
I wish I cared about activision or blizzard. They were cool in the 90s. Well, blizzard was. Activision has always been a beast.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Xbox Game Pass Shooter High On Life 2
@Sol-idsnake huh? Who works for Xbox? Been reading this site for years and can’t remember anyone once saying they work for Microsoft.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Xbox Game Pass Shooter High On Life 2
That’s not good enough to get me to spend my precious time unfortunately.
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From February 2026's State Of Play
Brigandine has my attention.
Castlevania might be homage or abomination. Konami doesn’t have the best track record. The last two 2D Castlevanias they made were bad.
Re: Starsand Island Is Out Today On Xbox Game Pass, And Here Are The First Reviews

Re: Mewgenics Is The Best-Rated Game Of 2026 So Far, But Will It Get An Xbox Version?
Obv gonna be ps, which is sad. It can’t be that much harder to just port it to both, can it?
Re: Microsoft Apparently 'Expects' The Xbox Series Era To Last, Despite Next-Gen Plans
I certainly have no plans to join the “next generation” or even get a switch 2 anytime soon.
Heck, one of the best times to get a ps5 is now. I’d have said the same about a series x if not for the price hikes.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties
I love the turn based ones. Always been kinda hit and miss with the action ones. I did rush through the gaiden before it left game pass
Re: Replaced's Final Previews Are In, And We Could Be In For A Big Surprise On Xbox Game Pass
@Fiendish-Beaver you have very restrictive tastes my friend. 😆 I thought I did!
Re: Replaced's Final Previews Are In, And We Could Be In For A Big Surprise On Xbox Game Pass
Wow. Thanks for the heads up. It definitely has my attention now.
Re: Xbox Is Reportedly Releasing A Brand-New Controller Revision In 2026

Re: Talking Point: Are You Looking Forward To High On Life 2 Hitting Xbox Game Pass Next Week?
High on life 1 had games hidden in it? I think I missed them.
I enjoyed high on life, but it got a little long by the end, and I’m not itching to play the sequel necessarily. I’d like to, but there’s a lot I’d rather play.
Re: Xbox Drops Multiple Games To Their 'Lowest Price Ever' In Five New Sales
Always fun when I buy a game day 1, don’t get around to playing it, and it’s cheaper a couple months later. I know I should never buy day 1, but it’s also nice to support what I love.
Re: Report: Microsoft Is In The Early Stages Of 'Expanding' Xbox Game Pass
They keep adding stuff I don’t want and increasing the price. And making it more and more confusing. I should maybe just go to premium. If everything always comes to premium eventually, just not day1, then maybe that’s the one for me. I don’t always even care about day 1 stuff.
Re: Multiple Games Announced For Xbox Following February 2026's Nintendo Direct
Why can’t we get the adventures of Elliott demo?? It’s still switch 2 only. Lame.
Re: Multiple Games Announced For Xbox Following February 2026's Nintendo Direct
@fizban3332 the 3d lost a lot of the charm. I was happy to see sprite work. Either way it’s just a Saturn game from 1997! Not a new game.
Re: Multiple Games Announced For Xbox Following February 2026's Nintendo Direct
The monster hunter stories games are great
Culdcept is awesome.
And adventures of Elliott will be day one for me. Wish more of these were on game pass
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (February 5)
Menace is great. I wish it was on console.
Re: Xbox Is Reportedly Releasing A Brand-New Controller Revision In 2026
Make it like the xb1 controller that didn’t give me hand cramps. I’m tired of using a wired 8bitdo.
Rechargeable battery and the rest would be nice too.
Re: Talking Point: One Year Later, How Do You Feel About Xbox RPG Avowed?
@DaPrince and my point is it’s not even that type of game. That’s like being mad at madden 26 because you can’t date the players.
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (February 3)
I’ll definitely give yakuza a try. I prefer the turn based ones tho.
Already own ff2 but might play it anyway!
Re: These 10 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass, Including Three Major Additions (February 5-17)
Not much for me this batch, but I’ll be busy with dragon quest anyway.
Would like to finally play kingdom come. But I suppose it being on game pass means it’s dlc will be full price instead of $5 for all of it.
Re: Feature: 30 Xbox Series X|S Games To Look Forward To In 2026
Only dragon quest for me, it I don’t even have time to finish it In February I bet.
Re: Talking Point: One Year Later, How Do You Feel About Xbox RPG Avowed?
@Deadsea93 so you’re mad because you got hyped unrealistically? And because it wasn’t Skyrim?
Re: Talking Point: One Year Later, How Do You Feel About Xbox RPG Avowed?
I had a great time with it. Wish I’d waited til now to play it tho. They added stuff.

Brilliant game
Re: 10 New Xbox Indie Games That Should Be On Your Radar In February 2026

Re: Death Stranding Director's Cut Gets Huge Player Bump Thanks To Xbox Game Pass
Yep, first time I’ve played it, and first time I’ve enjoyed a kojima game since Snatcher in like… 1995? 1996?
