Super excited for Star Renegades and it’s coming to gamepass, can’t argue with that.
I heard about the serious sam collection coming to switch but even better that it’s on Xbox!
This is a really well formatted way of delivering this information 👍
hopefully Serious Sam will not be insanely priced
Isn't Halo MCC getting the Series X/S patch on Nov 17 as well?
@blinx01 It is, but Microsoft isn't classing it as a "new game", per-se. I've added it to the list anyway to avoid any confusion.
I seen the other day Family Feud listed in new games, this might be a good one
Still haven't played MK 11, but that synopsis makes it sound like the series is as ridiculous as ever. I mean that in the best possible way.
Thank you for your hard work putting this together. Presenting info in this format is extremely easy to digest, and is very much appreciated.
@Klinjon No problem at all! Thanks for the kind words
Too pick up mortal Kombat or not. Let's see if we can find it for a decent price
Can't wait for Poker Club.
Ark is now optimized for series X and S as well with some big improvements. Not sure if that pertains to this list but worth noting I guess. Thanks for all the info.
