This is great, hopefully a good amount of people give it a shot. I've loved the service since I've had it!

Hoping we get a cloud version of Octopath in time. Usually not into these type of games but loved the demo on the switch, just never got around to the full thing. Great addition.

These look great! Awesome they have a variety of colors after only a handful of months!

We've had a good bit of fun with it since the update, 60 FPS def makes a huge difference here. Probably won't keep our attention for too long until the next content drop but it's been fun to get back into.

@Medic_Alert Totally agree with you there. Both Sony and MS seem to be buying up every aspect of the gaming world and I'm not sure how good of a thing that is either.

I admittedly didn't think much of smart delivery when it was first announced but seeing first hand the issues going from PS4 to PS5 versions, Microsoft was really on point with it. Kudos to them for being much more forward thinking on this particular issue!

Glad this point was clarified after months of speculation. It's a great win for MS fans!!

Got one! In and out easy peasy

MS on a roll this week! Sounds very promising!

Not surprising at all. In my experience Stadia actually worked better than Xcloud but the games/business model surrounding it was a disaster from the jump. I give it another year before they shut it down completely as Google loves to do.

Dirt 5 is a huge get! Very fun game that only came out a few months ago, hope you guys enjoy it!

Great news, definitely need some PS vs Xbox tournaments!!

Jackie Robinson edition is awesome! Cool to see its coming to Xbox as well, hope you baseball fans enjoy it!

Xbox 180 🤣

It's a great thing when companies respond quickly, glad peoples voices were heard.

@ThanosReXXX Ha you know I'm a notorious deal shopper and I had never heard of that one lol! Definitely did me a solid, thanks again!!

@ThanosReXXX Thanks for that link man, will definitely help me out in the future!! Appreciate it!

Still looks like you can snag it for $60 from most retailers if you aren't pleased with the change. Better stock up folks!

@LiterallyDoNotCare Perhaps because they're not interested in a debate and merely wanted to share their opinion, glad you got your point across.

@LiterallyDoNotCare cool bud, happy gaming!

@LiterallyDoNotCare If you don't find value in 2 bucks a week for Ultimate than I dunno what to tell ya lol. I'm not even a big Xbox guy but to me it's a no brainer, but there's still plenty of options for ya man.

Obviously trying to steer people towards Ultimate. Honestly if you're super invested in the Xbox ecosystem I dunno why you wouldn't just get ultimate regardless since it offers so much more. With the constant sales/promos/deals it's probably less than just getting Gold at this point anyways 🤷🏾‍♂️

The F2P thing is really bizarre though and it's surprising they still haven't fixed that!

@Krzzystuff You're welcome, always happy to help!

@Krzzystuff the Nvidia Shield Tv is an android based streaming device in the vein of a Roku or Chromecast. Biggest difference is it actual has gaming level internals (about as powerful as a Switch) so it can easily run games/emulators/streaming services much better than a $30 device you get on Amazon. Also with it being Android you can easily install all of the same apps you could on a phone such as Stadia, Xcloud, Luna etc which makes it a very useful and versatile little "console".

GeForce now however is an actual streaming service like those that allow you to stream Steam games to various devices.

Should definitely be mentioned that Xcloud works wonderfully on this device. It's how I've gotten my Forza fix for a while now, very convenient and versatile device!

Great news, glad you guys will be able to try it out. Wonder if it'll have crossplay, perfect game for it!

Very cool of them to do, awesome work for the community!

This is a terrific game, glad more people will be able to try it out and see if it's for them!

@Tasuki it's in there, quit your whining and play the game

Tunic looks great and even runs on my average laptop so def. interested in that one. Mild interest in a few others but pass on most of those. Though it certainly seems like they're getting a nice stable of exclusives finally, 2021 shaping up to be a good year for Xbox!

@Tasuki you're still on about that lol! Play the current gen version I believe they added it. And yes they did continue their story in 3.

@Tasuki They are back..

This was a great edition to the Borderlands series. I had never played a Telltale game before hand but I really enjoyed it. Hopefully this leads to another season!

Codemasters games have been some of my favorites the last couple gens. While I don't necessarily like them being under the EA umbrella, I'm willing to have a wait and see approach to see how it all pans out. Hoping they go back to Dirt Rally sometime this year or next!

Wonder if this will be coming to Gamepass seeing as MS and EA are pretty chummy lately. Would be quite a nice get of it did. Hopefully can carve out time to play these again.

Very slick looking controller. MS is killing it with the designs, love it!

So ungrateful, shame really.

@gollumb82 don't waste your time, it's like trying to communicate with a rock lol

I'd rate it a solid C overall. Releasing 2 consoles that many people seem to be enjoying and Xcloud is terrific, exactly what I hoped it would be. Still a lack of banger exclusives imo but they're hopefully well n on their way of fixing that issue.

@Kefka2589 agreed completely! The clips I got of kids opening up consoles I helped their family get was worth so much more than a few hundred bucks. Was honestly the best gift I got this year!

@Kefka2589 yup same, all sold at retail or even at a loss. No one should have to pay double for something for their kids especially after the year we've all had.

Yes, bought 6 of them 4 series X and 2 series S! Spreading gaming love!!

Lol thanks!!! Free 5 bucks from an email buried in my spam folder! Shocked I actually got it of all people, appreciate the info!

@Tasuki That's what I use as well, no noticeable lag either. If you do experience some you can use a USB-C hub and connect it straight to your router with an ethernet cable. I usually do that when I want to play on the TV. The flexibility Microsoft provided with Xcloud is amazing!

Absurdly great deal for new subs!

@Ryu_Niiyama Yes they added it a month or 2 ago I believe, think its only a month however.

@Tasuki Great! Did you end up going with a Galaxy tab? I think it was you that was asking about those but I may be misremembering.

@Tasuki For sure, I'm not too fussed either given the circumstances. And late packages are a great opportunity to try and get a little bonus credit/gift cards from some places. Amazon in particular is VERY generous when a package is late, works about half the time if you're polite and firm but not rude.

@Tasuki That's great, seems to be a popular bundle lol!! Hope it arrives for you today, I've had 3 different packages of game related things delayed in the last week!

@Jslade Awesome! I feel the same way about the Dualsense, glad you're enjoying it!

Picked up a couple 3 month Gamepass cards and a Shock Blue controller. Nothing too crazy this year but man this controller is gorgeous, Love the color scheme!!

Really cool stuff! Not something I'd ever use but its cool that its possible!

Next logical step and something I would totally welcome. Currently just doing xcloud on my tablet/phone directly connected to the TV but having a native app would make thing much easier.
