To anyone yet to pick this up I recommend getting the GoTY edition as both expansions were just as good as the main game, and quite lengthy too. Definitely worth the extra few quid/bucks
Can anyone tell me if I download Warzone 2 on Series X does it automatically download CoD MW2 as well? It does on PS5, but I was only interested in trying WZ2 so cancelled and deleted it 🙄
On Series X I’m playing Sonic Frontiers and Cyberpunk 2077 (which looks even better now after latest patch). But my go-to game right now is…God of War Ragnarök.
Have already preordered Sonic Frontiers on Xbox, and GoW Ragnarok (on PlayStation, obviously), but will probably also get Evil West. Expensive - but good - month!
Can’t wait to play this next Wednesday! And at least it unlocks at midnight, unlike quite a few Xbox releases this year that didn’t unlock until late in the day 🙄
I haven’t bought or played a CoD game in years, but this is now on my radar. Will still wait for reviews, but I may bite. Only thing I’m worried about is the install size - recent CoD games have had a notoriously large footprint. Would it be possible to manage the game so you only install the campaign, then once that’s done uninstall it and then install the MP maps? 🤔
Games that look great at 60fps…Horizon forbidden West, Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin’s creed Valhalla…all big open world games. There’s no excuse for the devs to not include a “performance” mode option.
I was on the fence about buying GK, but this has put me off. Also, they say that co-op is one of the reasons why there is no 60fps/performance mode…not all of us want to play in co-op! Maybe if they add in a performance mode at a later date I may bite.
Think I’ll give it a go in a few weeks when things have settled down. Glad they’ve removed the phone number requirement though, that was a stupid move.
Looks interesting, and it’s always good to see more of these types of games come to consoles (looking at you AoE4). Unfortunately I already have too many games to play atm, so it will have to wait.
@BBB I was on the fence about playing Overwatch 2 anyway (haven’t played first one in years), but knowing I’d now have to give them my phone number has made my mind up…Not happening!
You look at that selection of games and then compare to the PS+ extra/premium monthly selection and Xbox are smashing it! Btw I’m no fanboy as I have both, but have been mostly disappointed with Sony’s monthly selections so far.
I’ve got right back into Cyberpunk 2077 this week, and I haven’t even watched the Edgerunners anime! But it was the 1.6 “Edgerunners” update that made me dive back in to see how things have improved. I also used a glitch I saw on youtube which got me 2 million eddies! Bought some nice guns, upgraded my cyberware, and bought a few apartments. Mostly doing side jobs and gigs, but do plan on carrying on where I left off on the story, which was some time ago!
I’m off work this week and thought I’d dive back into Night City. Mostly been doing free roam stuff like gigs, whilst I re-familiarise myself with all the game’s (many) mechanics. Having a blast, and looks great on Series X (playing in performance mode). Still quite rusty on all the hacking stuff but I’ll get there!
I’ve been waiting ages for this on consoles, after hearing good things about the PC version. What’s the chances of it releasing day 1 on GamePass? Here’s hoping 🤞
I have it on PS5. Thought it was pretty good, though overrated imo. I’d probably give it 8/10. No reason to not try it though if you have GP and decide for yourself.
I think I might finally pick up the Dawn of Ragnarok expansion. I was pretty burnt out on Valhalla, but having not touched it now for several months I think I’m ready to dive back in!

Re: Six Xbox Games We Wish Had Received An FPS Boost
I would also add Batman Arkham Knight to that list.

Re: Need For Speed Unbound Performance Details Confirmed For Xbox Series X|S
4K and 60fps? Nice. Think I’ll still wait for reviews though. I’m predicting somewhere in mid 70s on Metacritic.
Re: Here's Your First Look At The Witcher 3 On Xbox Series X, Two Performance Modes Confirmed
Here’s a longer look with some of the devs…

Re: Evil West Dev 'Couldn't Guarantee' 60FPS On Xbox Series S, Opted For 30
This game went from a day 1 purchase to “wait for sale” 🙄

Re: Pick One: Which Is The Best Xbox Game Studios Release Of The Past Two Years?
I’m in the minority here, but I just don’t understand the love for FH5. Yes it looks amazing, but it’s just menus full of to-do lists 🙄

Re: Saints Row's November Update Is 'A Beast', Contains Over 200 Fixes
By the time it goes on sale or GamePass it might be a half decent game!
Re: Battlefield 2042 Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass Ultimate During Season 3
@Serpentes420 @sheldonlufc not as bad as I was expecting. Thanks 👍
Re: Battlefield 2042 Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass Ultimate During Season 3
Anyone know how much hard drive space I’ll need for this? 😬
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Thing About Xbox Series X|S After Two Years?
Being able to have multiple games in “quick resume” state. I also have a PS5, and you can only suspend 1 game at a time on that.

It’s exactly the same over on the PS5 Home Screen.

@Sveakungen ok, thanks 👍
Re: Hands On: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Flexes The Series' AAA Muscle
@Kezelpaso 85gb? Not as bad as I expected but still quite hefty. How come people are already playing it when it’s not released until this Friday?

That’s a shame 🙄 thanks anyway 👍

I’m definitely up for playing this on console! And if we can get Age of Empires 4 on Series X/S as well that would be sweet 🙂
Re: These 20+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (October 24-28)
Is Warhammer 40K inquisitor martyr a free upgrade for existing owners?

Re: Hands On: Resident Evil Village 3rd Person Mode Is Great, With A Slight Catch
How do you access this demo on Xbox? I can’t find it anywhere
Re: Reaction: Is 30FPS Good Enough For An Xbox Series X|S Game?
Games that look great at 60fps…Horizon forbidden West, Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin’s creed Valhalla…all big open world games. There’s no excuse for the devs to not include a “performance” mode option.

Re: Humankind's Xbox Version Suffers Setback, No Longer Hitting Game Pass In November
Disappointing, but I’ll probably be too busy anyway with GoW Ragnarok, Evil West, and - hopefully - Witcher 3 upgrade.
Re: Everything You Need To Know About Scorn On Xbox Game Pass
@Dr_Luigi why not? You’ve nothing to lose. You may even end up renewing your sub 😉
Re: Everything You Need To Know About Scorn On Xbox Game Pass
The only thing I’m worried about with this game is everywhere you go looks the same, so inevitably you get lost…and often. Hopefully I’m wrong.
Re: 'Ark' Dev Document Reveals How Long The Series Will Remain On Xbox Game Pass
I’ve never played it. Is it worth diving in if you’re primarily a solo player?
Re: Overwatch 2's Servers Meltdown In 'Mass DDoS Attack' At Launch

Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (October 6)
I voted for Medieval dynasty, though tbh it will be a while till I actually play it…too many other games to play right now!
Re: Video: Here's Your Cinematic Introduction To 'Medieval Dynasty' On Xbox Game Pass
Looks interesting, and it’s always good to see more of these types of games come to consoles (looking at you AoE4). Unfortunately I already have too many games to play atm, so it will have to wait.

@Clankylad maybe this game will cheer you up! 😉 but yeah, I can be a bit of a “grumpy old bit”, so get your point.
