@MaccaMUFC That sale countdown should just roll over. Xbox is weird sometimes and only puts week-long discounts on before it then says 7 days again the following week.
@BBB Me too. Polyphony has this tendency to carry things across generations, where Turn 10 tends to use that time to rebuild. A full rebuild on Series X|S is an exciting prospect.
@JayJ E3 seems to live on in spirit but not in name. Geoff Keighley's 'Summer Game Fest' has basically taken over, but that tends to be spread across multiple events. I expect Xbox to have a big show somewhere in the summer.
@Banjo- It doesn't explain much because sadly, Rockstar hasn't explained much yet 😅. From what we can gather GTA V will be a full priced game, but you can buy online on its own, and that'll be cheaper. We just don't know the exact price of online yet
@AhabSpampurse From what I can gather, there's no free or discounted upgrade. GTA: Online will be available on its own though, which will be cheaper than the full game.
@JayJ I'm very into racers, all of your listed games are great choices. However, this list is for Game Pass specifically. I know the library veers more towards arcade, but this was intended to make Game Pass players aware that there are a bunch of great racers in the library, not just Forza.
@Boldfoxrd Usually we don't, but these days Xbox doesn't do many sales for non-BC games anyway. This week's were just Far Cry 4 on Xbox 360, and XBLA game Rotastic.
@antstephenson That extra content is a nice jump over the reboot, but a lot of it isn't properly utilised in story and campaign mode. More importantly though, the actual racing feels identical to 2019, and I feel a few tweaks to make cars feel more unique to handle would have been nice.
@Halucigens I didn't get the opportunity to test a wheel out, but Legends feels like its build for playing on a pad. Wheel could add a bit more excitement to proceedings though!
@Dezzy70 I hope it does focus on this gen only. That'd make sense, especially if they go back to the original for inspiration, maybe open things up again.

Re: Battlefield 2042 Finally Updates Scoreboard, Voice Chat Coming In April
@Krzzystuff There was some form of scoreboard... but it didn't show your full team or the enemy team. It was like a squad-board 😅

Re: Black Ops Cold War Gets New Content, Even After Call Of Duty: Vanguard's Launch
@Bleacdemon I'm still playing it too! I didn't pick up Vanguard. Rumours are that Jungle is the next returning map

Re: Review: GRID Legends - A Solid Arcade Racer That's Missing A Bit Of Flair
@Bleachedsmiles Aside from 120hz support, I could see no real difference in visuals between GRID 2019 on One X, and Legends on Series X.

@Dusk_Actual That was the pun, I just didn't format it that way haha!
