@BadBoyBule My guess is that all of these delisted games have re-releases coming in the near future, while Fighting Vipers and Virtual-On doesn’t.

Yeah, this smells of new re-releases. Kind of how they delisted the 360-version of Sonic Generations a couple of months before the remaster dropped.

Delistings are always sad to see, but I think I have all of these already.

Will this have local co-op?

I knew this would come, so I’ve been holding off on this game 🙂

@LonR I don’t understand why it would be such a big deal to do it in the consoles settings vs. the in game settings, it takes like 30 seconds anyway? It just feels very nitpicky to me.

@LonR You can turn off crossplay if you don’t want it. I turned it off during late pre-season when every game was filled to the brim with hackers. I’ve been playing with crossplay enabled again since season 1 started and I rarely have any problems with it.

I grabbed Fear 3 at that cheap price. I already have Fear 2 digitally and Fear Files on disc, so now I only need the first game to have the entire series.

It’s a compilation and not a new game so I don’t know if it counts; but my favourite release of 2024 is Castlevania Dominus Collection.

I loved my time with Starfield (199 hours) but I regret playing it last year having to put up with the 30 fps. Had I known that a 60 fps update was coming this year, I would gladly have waited. Now knowing better, I won’t make the same mistake with Avowed.

A huge win for sure! I’ll be sure to pick up both of these collections when they release 🙂

I hope this means we’ll also get the Mega Man Battle Network Collection. I have all the other Mega Man collections on Xbox, so it would be lovely to be able to finally complete my collection of collections.

Sad news for me. I actually love this game and I play it almost every day and hope to be able to continue doing so.

I don’t usually enjoy online shooters, but XDefiant just has something that speaks to me, and I find it very fun and addicting. Maybe Marvel Rivals could be a good substitute if XDefiant meets a too early demise…

What a silly statement; if it runs at 30 fps it doesn’t run well.

I have been really looking forward to this game since the very first teaser trailer, but I will not play it until a 60 fps patch is in place. Even if it means I have to wait until the next generation Xbox consoles.

I’m so happy I could cry, I love these games 🖤

Oh no, this is a huge disappointment for me, I was really expecting 60 fps for this game.

This means I will hold off on playing Avowed until a 60 fps update is in place (which is what I should have done for Starfield…)

Looking forward to Avowed, but I don’t mind it being moved to next year because my backlog is ridiculous 😅

@Frmknst Of course, I still buy lots of games, not everything is on Gamepass you know. I see Gamepass more like a nice complement to the games I purchase. A great way to get to try out games I normally wouldn’t have bought, like for example PowerWash Simulator and The Quarry. Both are games I would not have thought of purchasing, but played them thanks to Gamepass and loved them both.

Same with music; I’ve subscribed to Spotify since 2011, but I still purchase lots of music.

I’m interested in Magical Delicacy and Flintlock, glad both are on Game Pass 🙂

I’ve only played 1 and 2 so far, and it was 10+ years ago… but I remember liking 2 a little bit better because it felt a little more lenient with the time schedule. I would like to replay them, as well as playing 3 and 4 for the first time, but my backlog is massive 🥲

What an eyesore of a controller, and so expensive too.

@Lup The Devil’s Daughter is alright, but have you played Crimes & Punishments? It is far superior and is the best Sherlock game out of the ones I’ve played.

If this is true, I feel like Xbox should really step in and fix this.

Sad news, I hate when Capcom does this, it was the same with the Mega Man Battle Network and the Great Ace Attorney collections 😔

Also, didn’t SE just say that they were going to stop excluding platforms from now on? So why aren’t we getting Romancing SaGa 2 on Xbox, huh Square-Enix???

I already have a Series X so I don’t see any point in getting one of these new models. If they released a significantly more powerful version I might have considered upgrading.

And I can’t wait for the handeheld, I’ll be all over that when they release it! (Because after so many rumours and hints, it has to be a real thing, right?)

Would love to see that Xbox handheld soon, I’m hoping for a reveal at Gamescom.

I’ll be busy at work when the show is live, so I’ll just read about the highlights afterwards.

Online shooters are usually not my cup of tea, but I felt curious to try XDefiant and now I’m hooked!

I’m currently at player level 53. I have unlocked most of the Battle Pass, as well as all characters except one of the Echelon guys, and every weapon except a shotgun and a marksman rifle.

Also playing some retro games on my Miyoo Mini+, after finally getting around to installing OnionOS on it.

Looking forward to Dynasty Warriors 🙂

The only Xbox model that has given me any trouble whatsoever is my early model Xbox 360 which RRODed for me after about 6-7 years of heavy use.

After that I’ve had 360 Slim, OG One, One X and now a Series X and they have all worked perfectly 🙂

• The rumoured portable Xbox is real and is revealed at this event and released later this year.
• The rumoured Oblivion and Fallout 3 remasters are real.
• Earth Defense Force 5 and 6 are coming to Xbox.
• Obsidian is working on a new non-numbered Fallout or Elder Scrolls game.
• Capcom reveals both Mega Man 12 and Mega Man X9, and one of them is released later this year.
• Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is finally released on Xbox, shadowdrops right after the event.
• New Sonic Racing game from Sumo Digital.
• Castlevania DS Collection.
• Next souls-like from From Software is revealed, be it Elden Ring 2 or something else.
• New huge batch of backwards compatible titles.
• Dynasty Warriors 10 and Samurai Warriors 6, with DW10 obviously dropping the boring open world concept from DW9.
• Diablo 1 remaster.
• More SMT on Xbox, maybe SMT 3 and 4, Strange Journey or the Devil Survivor games.
• New single player open world action RPGs are always welcome.

I’ll jump back in when the DLC arrives.

The 60 fps mode should have been there from the start. I played Starfield for almost 200 hours last fall/winter, and when I read this news article my first thought was ”I should have waited for this update” because those 200 hours would have been far more enjoyable in 60 fps.

But then I corrected myself; it is not that I should have waited for the update, it is the game that absolutely should have launched with a performance mode!

I wish all games launched when they were ready…

@Banjo- Great list! 🙂

I would add the original Yooka-Laylee, Shovel Knight and the Disney Afternoon Collection to the list (and remove Duck Tales Remastered 😅)

I haven’t gone crazy this sale. So far I’ve purchased Steelrising: Bastille Edition and The Dark Pictures Anthology: Season One which contains all of the Dark Pictures titles released so far; Man of Medan, Little Hope, House of Ashes and The Devil in Me.

I’m going to take one last look through the sale tonight so I don’t miss anything.

I genereally prefer shorter games, unless it’s an open world action/adventure/rpg. Those games can be as long as they want, because I love open world exploration and I usually never tire of that genre.

8 hours sounds perfect for a game like Hellblade 2.

@ironcrow86 I love Jedi: Fallen Order, it’s a fantastic game in my opinion. I haven’t played Survivor yet, but I bet that’s also good.

I’m holding off for the rumored revision before buying any more Xbox controllers.

@CutchuSlow This one’s got the rubber grips.

@Cikajovazmaj Same for me. I LOVE Diablo 1 & 2, but 3 was a disappointment for me. I thought 4 would be more like the first two games, but yeah, it’s definitely more like 3.

I jave a Series X already, so there really isn’t any point for me in getting this version.

A handheld Xbox, on the other hand, would be an essential purchase for me, I really hope those rumours are true.

I honestly don’t know if I’ve even played a game with ray tracing yet… I always go for the performance option if there is one.

Currently playing Earth Defense Force 2025 with my wife, and it is just as fun now as it was back in 2014. Highly recommended if you have someone to play local co-op with

I’m hoping for good discounts on Armored Core 6, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Frontiers of Pandora, Steelrising, the two Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance remasters, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Otogi 1 and 2, Tetris Effect, and the new Lords of the Fallen game.

Also low-key hoping for good deals on Infinite Wealth and Apollo Justice Ace Attorney, but they are probably too new to get any deep discounts yet.

I really think Capcom should prioritize remaking the rest of the tank control games(i.e. RE1, 0 and Code Veronica) before tackling 5, 6 and the Revelations titles.

I always wanted to play Dark Forces, but never got the chance back in the day. I will definitely buy this remaster

Very happy about SMT V coming to Xbox

Isn’t it time to release Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics on consoles? 👀

One of the main things that made the original so much fun was it’s simplicity. I hope they remember that when making this new entry, but this talk of ”AAA” has made me a bit worried.

I’ve owned several hundred physical Xbox games, but got rid of most of them since deciding on going all digital back in 2017.
I’ve kept some of them though, like a bunch of non-BC Xbox 360 titles, and a some Xbox One games that aren’t available digitally anymore, like TMNT Mutants in Manhattan and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

I would love some Bethesda franchise stuff to ease the wait for Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5, like a full remake of Morrowind, or the rumored remasters of Oblivion and Fallout 3.

Would also love new games from other developers set in those two universes, like they did with New Vegas. Obsidian would be the obvious choice for this, but I’m sure others such as Inxile or maybe even Playground Games could do a great job.

Best controller of it’s generation IMO

@Scirius This list is for OG Xbox and Xbox 360 games that are missing from the backwards compatibility program.

Sekiro is an Xbox One game, and thus already very much playable on modern Xbox consoles.
