BATTLETOADS! Excited for that and Flight Sim coming to Game Pass.
Plenty of other interesting games here too so definitely a big week.
So I guess Battletoads requires GamePass for the time being?
@IronMan30 Not as far as I'm aware - you should be able to purchase it on Xbox One / PC when it's out, but it strangely hasn't been made available for pre-order yet.
I was playing Super Lucky's Tale this week and I had a question on my mind all the time: "Why doesn't this camera fully rotate??" Maybe upgrading to the new version might be worth it for this feature alone
@FraserG yeah, that part is what throws me off. I can't buy it a week away from release but the page for the game promotes GP.
Here’s hoping Battletoads turns out to be good. 👍🏻
And I hope it’s not as brutally difficult as the old game.
I'm really looking forward to Battletoads, hope it doesn't disappoint
Looking forward to seeing how Battletoads turns out...
I take it they’re just going to change over super luckys take for the new one in games pass?
How do you pre order battle toads without game pass
@IronMan30 I’m as confused as you are 🤷🏻♂️😆
@KelticDevil it’s got difficulty settings
You missed Train Sim World 2 (Aug 20th).
@Darylb88 Thanks for pointing that out! Added.
@FraserG No worries 😊
