@JetmanUK What MS really really wants, is to become a game publisher and make Game Pass available on PS. As long as MS and PS is competitors that will never happen, but if they only were game publisher, then....
Anyway. Xbox will become PC at some point. Xbox console will rather be a third party device like Handhelds etc, with a OS provided by MS - so you will never loose the Xbox feel but the games will be accessible more places.

As long there exists Xbox game controllers that works on PS and I can buy Game Pass I will be happy. Whenever I buy something, I will certainly miss Play Anywhere.

Windows should have a xbox mode, where everything is isolated and unimportant stuff should be throttled like it never has. I don't need notifications about new mail, java updates or whatever.
It should work as a console, but open as Windows where I can install games from other stores/launchers as well. I think this should be introduced to the existing consoles as well, it's a PC
It would be great if I could let my childs play online with anyone but that they only could talk with friend of friends... I think they are pretty close doing something like this, but there isn't any common platform for all developers to use.
@CaptainCluck I think we always will have the back compatibility for all future Xbox (PC/Cloud would probably take over), since Xbox Original and Xbox 360 is running in a virtual machine on Xbox One/Series
PlayStation allows EA Play on their platform, in the long term I don't think it's impossible that Xbox Game Pass will arrive at PS when Xbox only has exclusives (that will happen one day)
Hmm, I remember I had to run some software at my computer to be able to play LAN (over internet) with Halo in the old days... This is something similar?
I like the hot swap of the drive, especially when I can download and update all the games at home with great internet speed and just put it in my pocket when I head over to the summer house to the next xbox
Oh yeah! This probably includes a family subscription!!!
Today we have only one GP Ultimate subscription, but with a family subscription for my three kids as well they will rock on their PC and myself at Xbox
@ymo1965 the PAL standard in Europe++ is 25 fps, or 50 if we double it. 100 Hz fits the PAL standard, and 120Hz fits the NTSC standard (29.97 fps) wich is 30 fps for HDMI.
So wether you are using the PAL or NTSC source, a HDMI display will play either 25/50/100 fps or 30/60/120 fps.
Well, we only have one Games Pass subscription in our household but I would buy a family plan in a heart beat (if it's les than 2xGP) but I'm not going to pay for two or three individual GP.
Got to say it, normally 1.10 and 1.1 versioning of software isn't the same - it really depends on previous versions.
Cyberpunk did have version 1.05, so in this case 1. 10 and 1.1 is equal, but it's ok to go from version 1.99 to 1.100... Cyberpunk will probably move to version 2.00 by then.
@AJDarkstar this app just activates dev mode, and has been here for a long time now. If you ever want to create games or apps for xbox you can use your own console as a dev kit.

Re: Microsoft Signs Deal To Bring Paramount Plus To Xbox In Many More Countries

Re: Xbox Creator Demands Action As Sexist Xbox Live Recording Goes Viral
@Carck yeah, I think I've tried that, but if I activate that I had a few problems in certain games where it disallowed multiplayer.
I think the issue raises when it's a crossplay game.

Re: Xbox & Microsoft Edge: How To Remove Borders And Go Full Screen
What, really? Isn't that feature only for old CRT displays and dumb features that overscans and zooms content to fit 4:3 etc to a 16:9 display?
Edge is good, but the bars was pretty annoying. It's nice to hear that it's easy to remove them
Re: Halo Infinite Campaign Co-Op Won't Arrive Until At Least May 2022

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator's Xbox Series X Port Is 'Going Awesome'
I'm really looking forward to this since my PC isn't good enough to run this high-res.
I really hope my Thrustmaster HOTAS flight controller (for xbox and PC) works out of the box!
