@themightyant Absolutely, yeah. But saying that, it's never our intention to mislead PX readers by throwing random SEO terms in a headline or the article itself. That's not how we do things
@themightyant @PsBoxSwitchOwner To be transparent, if we mention that it's coming to Game Pass in the headline, it quite often doubles our engagement levels on the article. We'll always take that opportunity when we can.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner We'll consider it when Xbox Game Pass Standard becomes a thing, but for now it's the same situation as before - if we say "Game Pass", we mean Game Pass for Console, Ultimate and/or PC.
Core is different, but it's been different for a long time - we have a separate list for those games:
I really wanted to get Mafia: Trilogy (and I'm seeing it for £8), but when I hit the button, it takes away the "Just For You" offer and puts it back to £16.49. Anyone else finding this?
For those who don't have any of the DLC yet, it's worth noting that the Ultimate Edition has been slashed to £16.99 / $19.99 on Steam already, so I'm assuming that'll happen on Xbox in July as well.
It should also be noted that if you download these now, they won't disappear from your Xbox 360's hard drive on July 29th, and they'll seemingly still be re-downloadable in the future as well.
@Mustoe I think it's gotten a lot worse over time. Plus, it was just a different era... I didn't really start buying digital games until the end of the 360 cycle (aside from Xbox Live Arcade titles of course).
@Fiendish-Beaver Best to ask @Fallingshadow about that one - they mentioned that game in a discussion yesterday
As far as I'm aware, none of this is anything to do with Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S DLC (even if it originates from the 360 days). The problem is that the Xbox 360 store is just outdated and broken in some ways, so when you go to download certain content on there, it doesn't work.
Microsoft does a much better job maintaining the modern Xbox store, so you shouldn't run into anywhere near as many problems on modern consoles with backwards compatible content.
Article has been updated with a new message from Xbox:
"We’re aware that a few games are still not showing the correct price or are not showing on the Store – we’re continuing to investigate. We will follow up when we have more information to share."
@MattyPrime That's not what's happening here. None of the Xbox 360 games that are playable on Xbox One / Series X / Series S are being delisted as part of the store closure.
@Ralizah So, I believe we could have done (although the majority of reviews seem to be for PS5/PC right now), but with showcase season taking priority over the past week-or-so, we sadly have to give up on it.
If it was any other time of year, we'd have gone for the review. I know PJ was keen on doing it, but other things got in the way.
@themightyant @Sol4ris Yeah, please bare with us. We've had so much to consume over the past few days that certain bits of interviews can easily get missed - the intent isn't to mislead.

That's the power of Game Pass for you! 🤷♂️
Re: Stalker 2 Dev Drops Beautiful New Screenshots As We Near Xbox Game Pass Launch
@themightyant Yep, we'll obviously do our best to make things clear in the future when "Standard" comes in.
Re: Lots Of Games Are Reduced By 90% On Xbox This Week (July 9-16)
@Darude84 Nope, definitely not a certainty. 2K24 is expected to leave on August 31st and 2K25 is not expected to join at launch.

Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (July 11)
@Dimey Ultimate.

@Lup Thank you!
Re: Review: Neon White (Xbox) - A Speedrunner's Heavenly Delight, Now On Game Pass
@PsBoxSwitchOwner Ugh, that wasn't me going crazy - just a glitch that happened before the review went live. 🤦♂️ Fixed now.
Re: Review: Neon White (Xbox) - A Speedrunner's Heavenly Delight, Now On Game Pass
@ShutenDoji @sonicbooming Apologies folks, today's been a DAY. All this Game Pass news is frying my brain.
Re: Review: Neon White (Xbox) - A Speedrunner's Heavenly Delight, Now On Game Pass
We're slightly jumping the gun with this headline... Neon White joins Xbox Game Pass in a few hours on Thursday, July 11th.
There's no set time for when it'll land, so keep an eye out!
Re: Here's A Complete List Of All Price Increases Coming To Xbox Game Pass
@dskatter As far as I'm aware, it doesn't. Here's what Xbox says:
"Recurring billing dates will not change. New prices take effect on the next recurring billing charge after September 12, 2024."
Re: Xbox's New 'Just For You' Offers Include Super-Cheap Mafia Trilogy Deal
I really wanted to get Mafia: Trilogy (and I'm seeing it for £8), but when I hit the button, it takes away the "Just For You" offer and puts it back to £16.49. Anyone else finding this?
Re: US Sales Figures Reveal Interesting Stats About Xbox Series X|S & Hellblade 2
@MjJmediablogger What, drop Xbox? Seems unlikely to me. They've just paid a huge amount of money to buy Activision Blizzard.
Re: Xbox Summer Sale 2024 'Teaser' Now Live, 300+ Games Discounted
@kuu_nousee Keep in mind these are just a few of the highlights. There are over 300 deals in all, so it's worth going through them.
Re: Here's A Final Look At The Xbox 360's Best-Selling 'Arcade' Games
@Fiendish-Beaver July 29th!
Next sale is on July 16th.
Re: 'Blur' Is An Xbox 360 Classic That Deserves Backwards Compatibility
@nomither6 Yeah, this is physical-only I believe.
Re: Dead Rising Returns To 'Top Paid' Xbox Charts Following Major Discounts
@trev666 Nice, thanks for mentioning that!
Re: Lots Of Games Are Reduced By 90% On Xbox This Week (July 2-9)
@AlwaysPlaying Thanks for the heads up, I'm not sure why that's happening - will look into it 👍

Re: These Eight Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (July 3-16)
@RentedPanda It's not - this will be its Xbox debut
Re: 22 Years Later, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Is Finally Coming To Xbox
@UndyingInsurgent95 I know Battlefront had some issues at launch, but Racer was a decent port from day one.
Re: Forza Horizon 4 To Be Delisted On Xbox And PC In December 2024
@Fallingshadow Thanks for pointing that out! A shame
Re: Forza Horizon 4 To Be Delisted On Xbox And PC In December 2024
@Altaria_97 Awesome, glad you found a solution!
For those who don't have any of the DLC yet, it's worth noting that the Ultimate Edition has been slashed to £16.99 / $19.99 on Steam already, so I'm assuming that'll happen on Xbox in July as well.
Re: Forza Horizon 4 To Be Delisted On Xbox And PC In December 2024
@xDD90x @Altaria_97 I'm guessing the DLC will still be purchasable via the Ultimate Edition, yeah. That's what it sounds like at least.
@Banjo If you play on Game Pass and bought the DLC, it sounds like you'll be getting a free code in the coming days.
Re: Atari's Anniversary Celebration Returns To Xbox With 39 New Games This October
@somnambulance I'm going to assume paid, but haven't had any confirmation either way yet.
Re: Atari's Anniversary Celebration Returns To Xbox With 39 New Games This October
@Yousef- It didn't leave! It's just making a comeback with this new version
Re: These 254 Free Demos Will Soon Be Delisted Forever On Xbox 360
@ALK That's very true.
@IGN_Commenter No, they don't work on modern consoles.
Re: These 254 Free Demos Will Soon Be Delisted Forever On Xbox 360
It should also be noted that if you download these now, they won't disappear from your Xbox 360's hard drive on July 29th, and they'll seemingly still be re-downloadable in the future as well.

@Daniel1221 They're not updated yet. Xbox must have revealed the list early... keep an eye out over the next few hours.
Re: All Xbox Games With Mouse & Keyboard Support
List updated!
Re: Hands On: Black Myth: Wukong Is A Transformative Action RPG
@KillerBoy No and no. The release date was originally August, but it's been delayed indefinitely for Xbox (hopefully not too long).
Re: Hands On: Black Myth: Wukong Is A Transformative Action RPG
@DJKingaling I'll let Craig fill you in if he sees this, but as mentioned by others, I believe it was a PC build (with an Xbox controller).
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Launches On Xbox To Fantastic Reviews

@themightyant Perfect, I'm going to add that in now. Thank you.
Re: Xbox's 'Slimy Platform Things' Comment Draws Attention Of Former PlayStation Boss
@Sol4ris Don't be silly, of course we've had enough clicks over the last few days 😅
I'm not deliberately leaving anything out, I just didn't catch that bit. Can you share a timestamp in the IGN video for me?
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From The PC Gaming Show 2024
