Next week is looking pretty stacked…I’m looking forward to FH5 Hot wheels expansion, Stray (PS5), Raji: An ancient epic enhanced edition (GamePass) and possibly Bright memory Infinite.
I had a Xbox One X, but tbh the PS4 was my go-to console last generation. When the new consoles launched I tried to get both, but was only able to get the Series X. Because of this and GamePass Xbox was now my go-to console…until August 2021 when I finally got a PS5! Now I enjoy both consoles.
These sorts of games can go either way for me. Lawn mowing simulator I got bored with pretty quickly, though luckily didn’t actually buy it. Will definitely give this a go and glad it’s on GP so I can try it for “free”.
Mad max, F1 2022, Monster Sanctuary and Rush rally origins. I tried Matchpoint tennis championships but couldn’t get into it. There’s just something off with the aiming of your shots. Hopefully they can improve/fix this in a patch. Seriously, how many years has it been since Top Spin 4? And still no one has bettered it 🙄
I couldn’t pick one. Have played most of them though. I probably enjoyed 3 & 5 the most, but I really liked Primal as well as it did something different (which reminds me I have to try it with the fps boost one day). Also liked 4 for the setting, and New Dawn for the way it took 5’s map and changed it. When it comes to the next FC game they really need to introduce some NEW gameplay mechanics and start mixing things up.
I enjoyed the base game when it first came out, but I haven’t played it in so long I feel like I need to reacquaint myself with the controls before looking at this expansion. It looks good though.
I was on the fence over this game as it looked promising and is only £35 on the digital store. I read this review, then I saw your sister site’s (PushSquare) who gave it…3/10 😬 oh well, guess I’ll pass.
The only game I’m currently playing on XSX is Mad Max, which is great with the 60fps boost, and the graphics still hold up well for a 7 year old game. Other than that I’ll be browsing the PS+ extra library for games to play. So far I’m enjoying Returnal.
I wanna give Naraka Bladepoint a go, but having just subbed to the new PS+ extra I now have too many games to play (I also have GamePass)! Modern day problems eh 🙄
I picked up Mad Max this week in the sale - only £2.99! I had it on PS4 but now I can take advantage of the 60fps boost. Looking forward to diving back in.
Update…Wow, for a game 7 years old this still holds up well, and the 60fps boost means it plays better than ever. I forgot how much fun the vehicle combat is! I can see myself losing many hours to this over the summer! Really hope Avalanche studios do a sequel one day.
After my initial disappointment that we’re getting another Hot wheels expansion, I’m now quite looking forward to it. I haven’t touched FH5 in months (got bored with it) so this should drag me back.
@DTfeartheBEARD unfortunately my tv doesn’t support 120fps, but I’m more than happy with the 60fps boost. I have this game on PS4 but never finished it for some reason, so definitely gonna pick up the Xbox version whilst it’s so cheap.
It’s been 5 years since FM7 - wtf have they been doing? Maybe they are aiming at Polyphony digital-style release gaps 😉 either way, this autumn/fall is looking pretty barren for MS.
If this is true it’s hugely disappointing. Firstly, we’ve already had a Hot wheels expansion, and secondly there’s a dedicated HW game (which I have). All this on top of the fastest I got bored with Horizon game. Oh well, roll on FM8
I can’t wait to play AC Origins at 60fps, but I already have 2 other open world games on the go (Ghost of Tsushima & Ghostwire Tokyo) so it will have to wait. Definitely gonna give Chorus a go though.
I’ve come so close to buying this in various sales, but always held off in the hope it would come to GamePass…that day is almost here and my patience has been rewarded!
@Kooky_Daisuke sorry to hear you aren’t able to get out much. I completely agree about gaming being an escape from reality, that and movies for me, especially over the last few years! As you say, not only is gaming a form of escapism, but also keeps your brain active which can only be good 👍
@Kooky_Daisuke So sorry to hear about your dog. If you don’t mind me asking how old are you? Don’t have to be specific, just a ballpark figure. I often wonder how long I’ll be gaming for. I started in my teens (1980’s) I’m now 50 and still love it! (though small text on screen can sometimes be an issue)

Re: These Six Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (July 19-29)
Watchdogs 2 has also had the fps boost! Nice
Re: Review: As Dusk Falls - A Cracking Crime Thriller On Xbox Game Pass
Glad it’s getting great reviews, but I’m not into these narrative type games. Too little actual gameplay for me.
Re: Another Five Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (July 31)
Re: Raji ancient empire enhanced edition. So basically we have 11 days (July 20-31) to play it on GamePass? I’ve heard it’s a short game anyway.

Re: Here's Your First Look At The Map In Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels
Any word on the install size yet?
Re: Five Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (July 14)
Why are games releasing later and later in the day now? 🙄
Re: Review: PowerWash Simulator - A Great Way To Chill Out With Xbox Game Pass
Definitely gonna give this a go! I’m also hoping that when Gas station simulator finally releases on consoles it arrives on GamePass day 1 🙂
Re: Talking Point: Did The Series X|S Bring You Back To Xbox? If So, How Come?

Re: PUBG Is Getting Major Next-Gen Overhaul, And Xbox Series X Sounds Impressive
Is this on GamePass/F2P by any chance? May give it a go once this update drops

Re: Red Dead Online Support Slowing Down As GTA 6 Takes Priority
I thought they’d already dropped support for Red Dead online? 😉
Re: Rockstar Reportedly 'Shelving All Remakes', Focusing On GTA 6 Instead
@awp69 I know right? How hard can it be? Ubisoft have done it for several of their old games
Re: PowerWash Simulator Is Heading To Xbox Game Pass Day One
@Clankylad I keep asking the devs on Twitter and all they say is “2022” 🙄 hopefully it will release day1 on GP.
Re: Rockstar Supposedly Cancelled GTA 4 & Red Dead Redemption Remasters
@Chaudy Agreed. I’d rather they have everyone working on GTA 6 and any other projects rather than yet more remasters.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Far Cry Games Is Your Favourite?

Re: Here's A Fresh Look At 'UFL' Gameplay, The New FIFA Competitor
@PhileasFragg the new FIFA will still be FIFA in all but name. Competition is obviously healthy so I hope UFL doesn’t disappoint.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Think Of The Outriders Worldslayer Expansion
I enjoyed the base game when it first came out, but I haven’t played it in so long I feel like I need to reacquaint myself with the controls before looking at this expansion. It looks good though.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About F1 22
With Codemasters racing pedigree it seemed very unlikely they would mess this up. I have the standard version preordered…roll on Friday!

Re: When Will The Xbox Summer Sale 2022 Be Revealed?
There are so many sales on Xbox that I honestly can’t imagine there being any surprises in the summer sale.
Re: These 10+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (June 27 - July 1)
Have F1 2022 preordered. MX vs ATV legends is on my radar, but will wait for reviews first, it looks promising though.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 25-26)

Re: Talking Point: Are You Buying Forza Horizon 5's Hot Wheels DLC?
Haven’t played FH5 in months, so hopefully this will pull me back in. I bought the premium add-ons bundle when the game launched.
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (June 23)
I wanna give Naraka Bladepoint a go, but having just subbed to the new PS+ extra I now have too many games to play (I also have GamePass)! Modern day problems eh 🙄
Re: Xbox Summer Demo Event 2022 Now Live, 34 Games Available
How do you access the Matchpoint tennis championships demo? I can’t find it anywhere, even tried a search 😟
Re: Paramount Plus Xbox Game Pass Perk Available In UK Later This Month
Too many streaming services as it is, without adding more new ones 🙄
Re: Forza Motorsport Resolution & FPS Revealed For Xbox Series X|S
If they can get it to run on XSX at 4K/60fps with ray-tracing then I’ll be impressed!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 18-19)

Re: Forza Motorsport's Ray Tracing Will Be 'On' During Gameplay, Not Just Replays & Photo Mode
As long as I get 4K/60fps I’m happy to leave RT off.
Re: Stalker 2 Delayed Until 2023, According To New Xbox Graphic
“Delayed until 2023” seems to be the most common gaming headline these days 🙄 next year we’ll be moaning there’s too many good games to play!
Re: Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels DLC Is Packed With 4 'New Biomes' & Over 200KM Of Track
After my initial disappointment that we’re getting another Hot wheels expansion, I’m now quite looking forward to it. I haven’t touched FH5 in months (got bored with it) so this should drag me back.
Re: Forza Motorsport Hits Xbox In Spring 2023, And It Looks Incredible
Me before video - spring 2023?!? Wtf?!
Me after video - OMG this looks amazing!!!
Re: Multiple Games Reduced By 80-90% In The Xbox Deals Unlocked Sale 2022
@DTfeartheBEARD unfortunately my tv doesn’t support 120fps, but I’m more than happy with the 60fps boost. I have this game on PS4 but never finished it for some reason, so definitely gonna pick up the Xbox version whilst it’s so cheap.
Re: Multiple Games Reduced By 80-90% In The Xbox Deals Unlocked Sale 2022
Seriously tempted by Mad Max at £2.99 🤔 great game, but I have it on PS4 which I don’t think has the 60fps boost the Xbox version has.
Re: Diablo 4 'Future Beta' Sign-Ups Now Live For Xbox Series X|S
Signed up, thanks 👍
Re: Rumour: The New Forza Motorsport Won't Be With Us Until 2023
It’s been 5 years since FM7 - wtf have they been doing? Maybe they are aiming at Polyphony digital-style release gaps 😉 either way, this autumn/fall is looking pretty barren for MS.
Re: PowerWash Simulator Launches As Xbox Console Exclusive This July
I’m still waiting for Gas station simulator to come to consoles. All they’ve said is “2022” 🙄
Re: Forza Horizon 5's First Expansion Has Leaked On The Steam Store
If this is true it’s hugely disappointing. Firstly, we’ve already had a Hot wheels expansion, and secondly there’s a dedicated HW game (which I have). All this on top of the fastest I got bored with Horizon game. Oh well, roll on FM8
Re: Deals: 140+ Games Included In This Week's Xbox Sales (June 7-14)
@Banjo- cheers 👍 will grab it whilst it’s cheap
Re: Deals: 140+ Games Included In This Week's Xbox Sales (June 7-14)
Has Hotshot racing left GamePass now? I still have it installed but I’m tempted to buy it at 80% off. Great little retro racer.
Re: Four Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (June 7)
I can’t wait to play AC Origins at 60fps, but I already have 2 other open world games on the go (Ghost of Tsushima & Ghostwire Tokyo) so it will have to wait. Definitely gonna give Chorus a go though.
Re: Soapbox: Chorus Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass, And You Should Absolutely Play It
I’ve come so close to buying this in various sales, but always held off in the hope it would come to GamePass…that day is almost here and my patience has been rewarded!
Re: Assassin's Creed Origins 60FPS Update Out Now On Xbox Series X|S
I have the PS4 game disc, and it’s also coming to GamePass, so not sure what system I’ll be trying the new 60fps patch on 🤔
Re: Two More Games Are Now Available With Xbox Game Pass (June 1-2)
For some reason I’ve never played Ninja Gaiden. Gonna give it a go.
Re: These Six Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (June 1-7)
I’m eager to try out Chorus, nearly bought it a few times in sales. I’m still holding out for Disco Elysium and Othercide.
Re: Pick One: What Was Your Favourite Xbox Game Pass Game In May?
@awp69 I agree about the Pac-Man controls slow response, though Championship edition (probably my favourite) definitely seemed better.

@Kooky_Daisuke So sorry to hear about your dog. If you don’t mind me asking how old are you? Don’t have to be specific, just a ballpark figure. I often wonder how long I’ll be gaming for. I started in my teens (1980’s) I’m now 50 and still love it! (though small text on screen can sometimes be an issue)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 28-29)
On my Series X I’m playing Sniper elite 5 and Ruined King. On my PS5 Ghost of Tsushima DC.
