@GeorgeKal Yeah, it's definitely very cool that they're adding it again! I've put so many hours into FM 24 this year

@GeorgeKal Hey George, I'm confused by what you mean that it's not in the article? Do you mean on the official Football Manager website? Because it's definitely in the article here at PX 🤔

We were sent some extra information earlier today by SEGA that definitely confirmed it's coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one

@LocalPenguin This has literally just been revealed, and here's the answer (guide will be updated shortly):

"To start playing the Shattered Space expansion, players must complete the introductory mission of the main quest, One Small Step. After you’ve completed One Small Step, the first time players grav-jump to an orbit that is not used by a mission or encounter, they will receive a distress call and discover a large star station, The Oracle.

Any player can take on the challenge in Shattered Space, but reaching level 35 is recommended for the best experience."

@Fiendish-Beaver We're getting at least one more

@RetroMan71 It shouldn't really. The golf is fun, but it's certainly not better than a lot of the dedicated golf games out there.

@GuyinPA75 They didn't make an actual trailer for it, so we've linked to the exact part of the broadcast where it was revealed instead. Based on your feedback, I've changed the link to the "Xbox On" version of the stream instead.

Here's a bit more info as well:

"Fallout 76 Creative Director Jon Rush announced at TGS that it’ll be raining cats and dogs in Appalachia when C.A.M.P. Pets hit the game this December. Start getting your own personal corner of the wasteland ready for your new furr-ever friend now!"

Thanks as always folks!

@MaccaMUFC Haven't heard anything recently, sorry!

@abe_hikura They've discovered a last minute issue resulting in a minor delay for the Xbox version - no new date yet.

@MjJmediablogger Solid C at least. I'm a sucker for shadow drops!

It's now available everywhere! Article has been updated.

@Fiendish-Beaver So, I believe it's more about encountering other people that are playing the game - but it does also advertise that you can "connect and adventure with friends and players worldwide".

You can apparently even form town-like communities and showcase the houses that you've built.

@Tasuki Thanks for mentioning - it seems the trailer has been taken down in multiple places, so perhaps it was uploaded earlier than planned...

@undarlegt Yep, it's the 26th - that's been added now

@Fiendish-Beaver I'm unfortunately not the best person to answer that, but I'm sure someone else will help!

I believe they mentioned during the RGG Summit today that Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will get an English dub at launch.

@Lup Yep, it's Xbox One too. That's been adjusted now.

@MaccaMUFC Oops! That's been added now.

@Fiendish-Beaver I wanted us to do a review of this one, but sadly we haven't had contact with the publisher and the timing of the release doesn't work out for a couple of reasons.

Hopefully we'll get to do a roundup of the reviews at least...

@ZAHMED Nope, was never announced for Game Pass.

https://www.purexbox.com/guides/xbox-game-pass-in-2024-the-full-list-of-everything-announced-so-far

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Not the intention. "Xbox Game Pass Details" mainly refers to the 10-hour trial that's always popular every year.

@Tasuki Yes, it should be!

Thanks folks! List has been refreshed once again.

@Markatron84 Haha, apologies 🤣

@Darude84 Gotham Knights is part of our list of games that might leave Xbox Game Pass in October, but it's by no means a definite.

https://www.purexbox.com/news/2024/09/heres-what-might-be-leaving-xbox-game-pass-in-october-2024

@GADG3Tx87 That's because they've been the most popular of everything we've posted. Just going where the demand is!

@themightyant I believe it's a new feature that was added yesterday. Definitely useful, but as you say, different sources seem to list different numbers of games!

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Yeah, it's a pain. We're going to keep doing things as normal for now - it's impossible to know ahead of time which games will be joining XGP Standard, so we can't really make any adjustments to our monthly and yearly guides as it stands.

@Decimateh No word on that yet!

@Ricky-Spanish It's got more in common with Steep and Descenders really.

@themightyant Yeah, I'm just going off the official Xbox website here - it was listing 506 games for XGP Ultimate until this morning (now 507 thanks to Riders Republic).

https://www.xbox.com/xbox-game-pass/games

@Mustoe It's not half a story though.

We've covered the full list of Game Pass Standard games (as well as highlighting what isn't part of the tier) elsewhere on Pure Xbox - found in the "Related Articles" section in the middle of the story above.

https://www.purexbox.com/guides/xbox-game-pass-standard-full-list-of-369-games-included-at-launch

FYI: This is obviously a list that's going to change regularly - for example, Riders Republic is now included with Xbox Game Pass Standard as of this morning.

The list you see in the article is exactly what was included with Xbox Game Pass Standard following Microsoft's announcement at 8pm BST on Tuesday, September 10th (2024).

@MinervaX Yep, definitely food for thought!

@Fiendish-Beaver Yeah, you might well be right there.

@K1LLEGAL Hmm, maybe at some point we will. It's just one of those where we're bound to get criticised for being "off topic" as you say.

@Darude84 Strange that it comes across that way. I've made a slight adjustment to try and make it clearer.

@Murray It's a weird situation all around.

Basically, it IS an Xbox (console) exclusive, but it's also launching on Steam early access first... with the console rollout to follow in 2025.

That wasn't the original plan, but they made adjustments to it at Gamescom a few weeks ago. It was supposed to be Xbox on day one.

@themightyant

@Frmknst I don't think that's dated yet? Last I heard was that it's Q3 2024, but no specific release date unless that's changed...

@Fiendish-Beaver You're right, what am I doing?! Can I blame Friday? I'm going to blame Friday.

@dskatter Ah, I get you 👍

I don't think they're related at all, it's just a weird coincidence where one bug was mass-reported (if you want to call it that... it wasn't THAT many people) and then another one was.

They're fixing bugs all the time, if you look at the Xbox Insider reports on a bi-weekly basis, there's always some kind of bug that's being rectified. Usually they're very minor things though.

@dskatter They're not... I'm just trying to raise awareness that the previous issue from earlier this week has been fixed, while also acknowledging that these kinds of bugs don't usually last very long.

Feel free to gloss over it if you wish 👍

Thanks as always for the updates!

@johnK Specifically on Hookshot Media websites? (PX/NL/PS/TE)

@Vordus Thanks for the update, I've taken it out.

@ZeD Hmm, I was of the belief that it's 30FPS on Xbox One.

For anyone wondering, Expeditions and Riders Republic hadn't been officially confirmed until today - they've begun showing up in the "Coming Soon" section of the Xbox Game Pass app over the past few hours.

@awp69 Go back to Tuesday and you'll find it! 🙂

@Fiendish-Beaver It means you can play on whichever mode you like and you'll get the smoothest experience possible.

Someone who plays at 40FPS or 60FPS on a non-VRR display will see more juddering than you do.

In this DF analysis, they're saying that due to the lower image quality in the 60FPS mode, they'd suggest going for 40FPS as a nice balance between frame rate and visuals.

@Titntin Apologies, was trying to convey that it was already confirmed for Xbox ahead of its cancellation.

@Feffster You can turn off the billing for each individual subscription, so it shouldn't affect XGPU at all.
