I know Starfield and Diablo 4 didn't release this year, but I have had a ton of fun with both, and they account for most of my hours (not counting Sea of Thieves which is always in my rotation)
I think since this is a new IP, this won't be on PS at all or at least for a very long time. Either way, this is my most anticipated release since The Outer worlds was one of my favorite games last gen.
No way is this a Creation Club download. I am hyped for this. I am just finishing up the main campaign and ready to build outposts and explore. Perfect timing, honestly.
Bruh, everyone needs to chill. This game was in development before Xbox acquired Bethesda. It is not crazy to think a major IP like this would be multi-platform from the beginning of development. Also, who cares? I get it gamepass day 1. Let the ponies pay $60/70
Let me get this straight Game Pass Core - Online multiplayer. Couple dozen games. Game Pass Standard - Online multiplayer. No day ones Game Pass Ultimate - Everything
The future of Xbox is GamePass. Go ahead and move to Playstation if you want to spend $70 for every game. I will stay on Xbox and enjoy day 1 games while PS players fund future day 1 games for the service.
As someone who plays on console servers, I have appreciated having a wide range of players. I really enjoyed season 12, and I am looking forward to this new world event to crap on more PS players
@themightyant I mainly buy digital because of all the free gift cards I get from Microsoft points! I do like to buy physical for games I absolutely love and that can be played offline.
Forza 4 is still my favorite of the series. It is unfortunate that it is getting delisted, but I realize such is the way with all the licenses involved with cars in the game.
It is free and you don't need Xbox Gold/gamepass core to play which means this is an easy thing to pick up and play with casual friends without spending a dime.
I actually just jumped into Destiny 2 with a great deal on all the DLC. I need a tutorial for all the menus, shops, quests, and currency. Holy smokes it needs to be more streamlined
@Ricky-Spanish He doesn't take cover but he still stands behind pillars and walls as if he was taking cover. Still impressive. The Raam fight took him over 100 tries.
@Martsmall So many different endings and such a dense world that you could play multiple times before getting bored. I am on my second playthrough now, but haven't played DLC yet.
@munstahunta Thank you for your sacrifice. It brought the game to GP for the rest of us. I bought Jedi Survivor recently so I expect that to come any day now...
Seems like they showed off a lot of gameplay for ship combat, but what do the other 3 players do while someone is flying the ship? Also, it would a great GP addition given its co op mechanics
Imagine getting put in charge of Xbox after the Xbox One launch! He has rebuilt the brand significantly after the market failure that was the Xbox One. He is a gamer and I think is doing a decent job of giving gamers what they want while satisfying the demands of Microsoft.

Re: Amazon's 'New World: Aeternum' Is Getting A Free Xbox Beta This Weekend
One of the few MMOs that have 3rd person action combat. That plus a beautiful world with both PVP and PVE options, makes me excited to try this.

Re: Review: Flintlock: The Siege Of Dawn (Xbox) - New Game Pass RPG Hurt By Its Own Ambition
Sometimes 6 or 7 out of 10 games end up being some of my favorite. I will try with GamePass! Otherwise this is would have been a wait for a sale.
