At this rate the PS5 Pro will only be getting used for Ghost of Yotei next year. 😂

Surprised they hadn't got rid of it sooner! Makes no sense at all to let people join for £1 when their biggest release is coming up.

Not a hope in heck of them adding any other COD titles this month.

@Gabrielmpf Oh nice! Will have to give it another go. The stuttering was really messing with me.

Should have just stuck to rally games. They lost the WRC contract to EA and then went to this. When they have the V-rally brand which they could have revived and turned into a yearly release. Would have done well considering how awful EA WRC is. Haven't touched it in a long time so maybe they fixed the stuttering.

Blops 6 is enough. 🙂

I can see the handheld system doing well. Def seems to be a massive market for it. I have no need for a handheld system. I got rid of the PS portal and don't have a daily commute on public transport. Or any daily commute. 😂 Hopefully the new console isn't that cloud console.

Saw something about the next generation of xbox releasing in 2026 instead of 2028. Could be a new Halo game to go with it.

Aww man not paw patrol. Had been saving it for a for when I just needed easy achievements. Guess I'll finish it this month even though I don't need the achievements for the 1000 reward points.

Was good to get the single player out of the way then could just play multiplayer on the release day.

Leaving tech to go and play a Japanese import console at the local game store.

PS5 and series X is all u need for this generation. This is a minimal upgrade at a stupidly high price point. With that price maybe they're aiming to make people that are still to upgrade from last gen to go for the standard PS5. Oh look the standard PS5 is X that's def a lot better value than the pro model. Sony are also like hoping people just keep playing the games that are already out because they currently have nothing announced for next year.

That's some amount of games. Some big games there. Also looking forward to Mixtape as The Artful Escape was really good.

No need at all for a mid-gen update this generation.

Sony shouldn't have turned their backs on narrative driven single player games. Considering it's why they're in the position they're in. Most of Microsoft's big games that are coming out are mostly single player focused. Indy, Avowed, Fable etc. They have COD, halo and the forza games as their live service games.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Forza always looks fine for me. Think people just make a big deal out of it.

😂😂😂 People not going to play the game because it's "only" 30 fps. How did we survive and play games before 60 fps arrived?

Blops 6, Indy, Astro Bot and Avowed will see me through winter.

@OldGamer999 Do any of the currently released games use the features? I haven't bought any of them on the PS5 because I play them as part of GPU so no point in paying twice for something. It's something that really should be implemented when moving to PS5. Also is there not a rumored new xbox controller with the same features being worked on. So could use it for testing.

It looks good, hopefully will be as good as Cold War.

Im gonna get stick for this but..

Mafia was on PS+ last year, maybe even before then. But please bash Sony because it's now on GPU. 😂 I love GPU but please this generation has been awful for both series X and PS5 in regards to exclusives.

Though PlayStation exclusives are better than Xbox exclusives. For me anyway, I love single player story games. GoW, GoT, HFW, Ratchet and Clank.

Ghost of Tsushima was a PS4 release but dam it's amazing looking with the PS5 upgrade. It's also my favourite game of all time. The story and gameplay are just amazing and I've been informed I'm old now.

PS5 down on sales compared to PS4, can't remember the PS4 having a pandemic and economic issues affecting sales when it was released. People are a lot more careful with their money now. And rightly so, a lot of PS4 players have yet to upgrade. Same with xbox one!

Xbox sales are tanking! It's awful to see, because I used to skip Tec to play Halo on a jap import console at my local game.

Got a 360 on release and had to take it to my uni to display it at a show.

Xbox one I got after wrist surgery, because the controller was perfect to use while in a cast.

COD moving to GPU has made me go back to my series X. Forza Motorsport has improved ten fold since I played it on release. It, Halo, Gears and Forza horizon are my fave original Xbox exclusives. I've got GPU paid up until August 2026 thanks to MS reward points. Long may that continue as well as I've had GP and GPU since it was released and never paid full price for it.

The amount of exclusives coming out for xbox is unreal over the next couple of years. I would recommend people remember it hasn't always been like this.

@StylesT Gamepass Ultimate console

Blops 6 and Indy will do fine for me for this year. Can wait a bit longer for Avowed.

@kuu_nousee Don't worry I know, I've had both Sony and MS consoles for the last 4 generations. My point is that getting gamepass onto playstation would mean that MS wouldn't need an Xbox. Sony are not letting it happen because it would affect their subscription service as well as impact the money they make from game sales as well.

Dam that's a good looking controller! Tempted to order but I really don't need it.

If they could get gamepass onto PlayStation that would be it for the Xbox console.

@DukeeDukems That's the difference! Forgot the PS5 doesn't have dolby vision.

Been a while since I played the PS5 version, but think it looks better on the series X.

Haven't played MW3 in a while on the PS5. Been back to Cold War on the XSX so will def download and play MW3 and see what it's like compared to the PS5 version. Since Blops 6 is out free on GPU I've switch my COD gaming to Xbox.

Will just wait for it to be added to GPU via EA play.

Boo! The dates suck for me. I'm only going to get playing 1 day of the early access and hopefully 2 days of the open beta.

Will start a short hike as my daily achievement going forward

Gamepass goes up by £2 a month, wild panic spreads and discussions of switching to PC. 😂

Should have change the core teir name as well:

Gamepass basic
Gamepass standard
Gamepass ultimate

I have gamepass ultimate until mid 2026. A lot of it has been through the reward points. Plus the 3 years for £1 and converting EA play to GPU deal. With COD getting added it's going to save me £70 a year. So £140 saving until I need to extend my sub. Even then I'll just be saving the reward points up if they're cutting down the amount of time you can have stacked. Aside from just COD there are loads of other games coming out this year and in the future that are great savings as you don't need to buy them. EA play being part of it is good value as well. No need to buy EA games as they eventually get added. Will be dropping my PS plus sub down to extra when it expires next year as the premium level is not worth it.

COD being free and the show brought me back to collecting points. Loads of games I want to play and it saves a lot of money. Though saying that I don't think I've ever paid full price for GPU since it started. £1 deal and then switching EA sub for GPU. Plus using points for it.

Hadn't bothered with the point it in a while. Then switched my points for 9 months of GPU. Nearly got enough for another 3 months now. Def worth to keep doing just to get free GPU especially with all the games coming out. Got GPU up to mid 2026. So will keep collecting the points now.

Really cool thing they're doing. I'm hoping they'll do the same for horizon 5 when the time comes. It was the first Forza where I paid for the early access and DLC and not the game.

We heard everyone is buying remakes this generation, so we're going to just keep remaking everything to sell the same game again and again.

Thankfully had bought the ultimate edition back when it first was released. Though after replacing my series X a while ago, I checked last night and it had only downloaded the base game. So downloaded every add on I could. Don't think I've much left to do in the main game or the DLC packs but will check tonight and start playing it again. Now when Horizon 5 gets delisted that'll be fun as I have the base game through gamepass but paid for the early access and DLC packs. Probably will have to buy the base game.

@Savage_Joe OK, so you think I'm literally having flashbacks?

Should change ur name to serious Joe, no jokes allowed.

@Savage_Joe I was making a joke in my original post. Don't have to get ur knickers in a twist about it.

@TakeItEasy @Savage_Joe

Are u guys actually serious?

"Built from the ground up"

Getting flashbacks reading that.

Forza wasn't great when it first released, so hopefully they've learnt from that.

@Mustoe It's not free everywhere, on PlayStation it's £30. So should all games coming to gamepass not be reviewed?

Def going to give this a go. I always turn off motion blur and chromatic aberration on every game I can.

Finished Bookwalker and surprisingly enjoyed it. Not something I would normally play. Played a bit of high on life, should have played it more though.

Would only be getting one if my current series X breaks. If it does then I'd probably replace it with the 2TB galaxy black series X. Will not be getting any mid gen refreshes, if they're is announced. There's no need, the PS5 and series X are fine.

Played this a while ago it is good, but yea it's not Horizon.

@EU_Gamer I too like to disconnect my Internet connected device to play games.
