1. A Dragon Quest mobile puzzle game (iOS/Android - will launch overseas in the future)
2. Version 6 of Dragon Quest X (Japan only - no plans for a worldwide release)
3. Dragon Quest X Offline (Japan only for now - 2022, no platforms announced)
4. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (worldwide home console release, no platforms or release date announced)
5. Dragon Quest Treasures (an RPG spin-off starring Erik and Mia from DQ11, focused on treasure hunting, release date and platforms have not been announced)
6. Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate (the next mainline entry in the series, no platforms or release dates announced).
@KilloWertz Yeah, I was looking through dynamic backgrounds on the weekend (before the May update), and also noticed the "Motes" background - so I'm not sure how new this one actually is.
Obviously, as noted by @JetmanUK - "The Original" Xbox dynamic background is part of the May update as well, and seems to be a stealth update.
@Vincent294 @Senua Yes, of course! Just to clarify it's coming to Xbox, PC and PlayStation platforms. I expect the Xbox release to be the definitive version.
@PuppyToucher Thanks for the kind words. We will be discussing more technical details about the headset in the full review. So that will include what it sounds like with and without Dolby Atmos.
@VenomousAlbino If you could find more examples of anyone else who is in the same situation, that would be helpful. To my knowledge, the enhancement update was a global rollout.
Here are the 9th March patch notes from the official Blizzard Overwatch forums, including all of this info:
@VenomousAlbino I play this game regularly on Xbox Series X myself. Just played it before - can confirm, the X|S icon is still there, so I'm not sure what's up on your end.
@jaydubs All of these shots are likely before the latest hotfix was rolled out. The one we've shared at the top of the page was the previous version.
Personally, I've encountered quite a lot of glitches myself (I'm playing on Xbox Series X), so I'm not expecting this latest patch to resolve everything.
@StrangeBit The original game (Super Lucky's Tale) is included with Xbox Game Pass, but this new one with the "full 360 camera" makes it loads better, in my opinion - so it might be worth the wait.
@WesEds In terms of the driving mechanics and physics - I completely agree with you. One issue a lot of the community had with the game was the lack of customisation/modding. Hopefully, Criterion can improve on that in its next game.
@KelticDevil Nice, I played through Fable Anniversary earlier this year. I've now moved onto the second game.
I know Sonic Forces isn't the most popular entry, but I must admit I enjoyed it start to finish. Some of the earlier levels in the game were particularly fun.
I know a few people who already own it on Xbox One and the Microsoft Store and will probably buy it again just so they can unlock the Steam achievements.

Re: Square Enix Announces Dragon Quest XII: The Flames Of Fate
@BlueOcean Yep, as @WCB sort of said - in order:
1. A Dragon Quest mobile puzzle game (iOS/Android - will launch overseas in the future)
2. Version 6 of Dragon Quest X (Japan only - no plans for a worldwide release)
3. Dragon Quest X Offline (Japan only for now - 2022, no platforms announced)
4. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (worldwide home console release, no platforms or release date announced)
5. Dragon Quest Treasures (an RPG spin-off starring Erik and Mia from DQ11, focused on treasure hunting, release date and platforms have not been announced)
6. Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate (the next mainline entry in the series, no platforms or release dates announced).
Hope that helps.

@Tasuki Haha, glad someone noticed!
Re: Hardware Review: Xbox Wireless Headset - Our Final Verdict
@roe Thanks, glad to hear you liked it.
@Hypnotoad107 I'd stick with the Arctis 7x.

Re: Microsoft To Merge ZeniMax And Bethesda Into New Subsidiary Called 'Vault'
@NEStalgia No, this just puts all of these companies under the one banner.
Re: Voice Actor Of FemShep Overjoyed By Mass Effect Legendary Edition Trailer
@Dm9982 I seem to recall ME3 was the first time FemShep was officially marketed, even had a reversible cover for her.
Here's the exact line from Polygon:
"environment and character director Kevin Meek noted that the iconic female version of Shepard wasn’t introduced until Mass Effect 3"
Re: Random: Ed Boon Reveals The Character He Probably Won't Add To Mortal Kombat
@Grot It's not enough for some, apparently.

Happy New Year, everyone! Thanks for supporting Pure Xbox over the past year.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Dec 12th)
Cyberpunk 2077 for myself. I'm playing the Street Kid path.
Maybe some Forza Horizon 4 on the side and Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair (which I would highly recommend).
Re: Amazon's Xbox Series X Pre-Orders Won't Arrive For Everyone On Launch
@Nightcrawler71 Yep, seems like it might just be tied to US pre-orders. I've updated the article to reflect this.
Re: Gearbox's Godfall Will Be A PS5 Exclusive For At Least Six Months
@Menchi Yeah, I get what you mean.
I can't get over how Activision recently locked demos behind a pre-order wall (Crash 4 and Tony Hawk's).
How times have changed!
Re: Gearbox's Godfall Will Be A PS5 Exclusive For At Least Six Months
@Menchi Yes, but this article is more to do with the fact it's a console exclusive on PS5.
Re: Gearbox's Godfall Will Be A PS5 Exclusive For At Least Six Months
@Menchi On PC it's a timed-exclusive on the Epic Games Store. So users on platforms like Steam will presumably have to wait for it.
"Godfall is slated to be exclusive to Epic Games Store on PC for 12 months"

Re: Hardware Review: Xbox Series X - The Fastest, Most Powerful Xbox Ever
Great review, Fraser. I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun trying out all of the past-gen releases on this new system.
Re: Microsoft Reveals Time Spent Testing Each Backwards Compatible Game For Xbox Series X|S
@mousieone Six months later...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Oct 17th)
@MegaWatts It has not aged the best, but if you're open to all sorts of 3D platformers from that era, it's worth a look.
The music is great (in my op), but the camera, controls, mechanics and gameplay might be hit or miss.
Re: CD Projekt Red Is Bringing A Slice Of Automotive History To Cyberpunk 2077
The 911 shots for some reason remind me of NFS (2015).
Re: Ubisoft Admits Hyper Scape Hasn't Met 'High Expectations' So Far
I downloaded this about a month ago but still haven't touched it yet.
Re: Apex Legends Cross-Play Beta Launching Next Week On October 6th
Anyone playing this? I've been meaning to redownload it on Xbox for some time now. I haven't really played it since launch.
Re: Descenders Approaching 3 Million Players With Xbox Game Pass
I actually downloaded this game the other week - found it a bit difficult to get the hang of at first, but once I did I couldn't put it down.

Re: New Super Lucky's Tale Is Getting A Frame Rate Boost On Xbox One X
@StrangeBit The original game (Super Lucky's Tale) is included with Xbox Game Pass, but this new one with the "full 360 camera" makes it loads better, in my opinion - so it might be worth the wait.
Re: The Crysis Trilogy Has Been Added To EA Access On Xbox One
I got the download done overnight, in the end.
Re: The Crysis Trilogy Has Been Added To EA Access On Xbox One
Yeah, there might be a technical issue on EA's end. Hopefully, we won't have to wait much longer - I'd like to play the original Crysis again.
Re: 343 Industries Is Adding A Jetpack Skull To Halo 3
@Justifier Haha, thanks! Back in 2007 I really thought we were finishing the fight. It's crazy how many Halo games have been released since then.

Re: Here's Your First Look At The New Need For Speed By Criterion Games
Yeah, I can't wait - bring on next-gen!
Re: Need for Speed Heat Is Getting Cross-Play, First EA Title To Do So
I tried to see this one through, but in the end, I went back to Forza Horizon 4.

Re: Easy Day Studios' Skater XL Has Been Postponed Until Later In July
I've played Skate XL on PC with an Xbox controller - it's so hard! I think I'll just wait for Tony Hawks 1 + 2 to be released at this rate.

@tinCAT-zero I really want to try out Dirt Rally 2.0, but I can't rip myself away from Forza Horizon 4.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Xbox Classics Would You Remaster?
I spent so many hours playing THUG back in the day, but I'm not sure I'd be interested in a remaster of it. I think I'll have to go with PGR.
