They need to fix the fact you can't transfer saves between the standard and goty edition. Played the standard on gamepass, bought the goty edition in a saleearlier this year, had to restart. I haven't been back since.
That little chirrup has been turned off since day one on mine. There's always been a setting for it. I would however like to be able to mute the xbox splash screen
It's not great. Would be a bit more helpful if you could switch the order around, imo, and as others have said, there are bigger priorities than something that didn't need it.
@Chaudy no I'm uk too and have had it for a couple of weeks now, doesn't work well though. I get daily streaks for logging in but nothing else seems to work.
End of the day if you know Horizon you know what to expect. Open world games like this are what you make of them. If you get bored then this isn't the game for you. Simple.
I love the challenge. I'm yet to get all of them but so far there's been at least an internal fist pump after a particularly awkward one. A couple have caused actual fist pumps.
I'm from the UK and honestly didn't like the map of 4 compared to 3 but then the Lego expansion was better than the hotwheels imo. I'll be up well past midnight tonight.
Art of Rally has 3 incredibly easy ones for any new player, drive through the car wash, drive through the spray booth and keep your finger on the accelerator for 60 seconds (just drive in circles on the starting platform). Got me the Top 10 500, my daily achievement, completed my weekly set and got the 3 achievements necessary for the Monthly Bonus with them. All in less than 2 mins.
Just started this. Never played the first. Seems decent so far. Anyone missing the Rewards quest for this? There was a challenge yesterday to get an achievement, but this morning, when it's actually possible to get, it's been replaced by the FH5 quest.
Sony saying no isn't a surprise at all. They still struggle with the idea of cross play. Given that you can get gamepass on pretty much anything with an Internet connection now I don't see a big issue with them saying no. Xbox have made gamepass available on mobiles and pcs. They have it on browser now too and they'll be bringing it to android TV soon as well. I'm pretty sure I've seen someone use a smartwatch to play fh4 via xcloud too.
Does anyone actually do the 'spend £35 for 4000 points' (or similar)? Quick maths says that by the time you complete the Monthly Bonus Round you can gain around 3000 points. 5 searches = 15, 3 daily sets = 100+, 3 achievements (if done on separate days) = 150, achievement from Top 10 (on another separate day) = 50. Plus 500 for Top 10 card + 2000 for completion.

Why even ask this? A majority of people don't pay attention to it anymore.
Re: Outriders On Xbox Game Pass Is Getting A Huge Expansion This June
They need to put it on gamepass. I can't see a lot spending $40 on it. It was good but short.
Re: F1 2021's Deluxe Edition Content Is The Latest Xbox Game Pass Perk
It's the only decent perk we've had, imo, in the UK. We don't get the free subs like US.
Re: Talking Point: Have You Ever Bought A Game Just Before Its Game Pass Announcement?
F1 2020 and '21. Luckily thanks to Microsoft rewards I didn't pay lot for them. '21 set me back a totally of 18p.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From The First Forza Horizon 5 Expansion?
Forza should not have bikes. I'd actually like a swampier area, personally. One to really test the offroading out on.

End of the day if you know Horizon you know what to expect. Open world games like this are what you make of them. If you get bored then this isn't the game for you. Simple.
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Forza Horizon Game So Far?
Only played 3, 4 and 5 and 5 is souch better than the last 2 imo. Would love to find H2 somewhere to dl though to try.

@RadioHedgeFund that one is easy once you figure out which side to use.

Already installed and waiting. It's gonna be a late night.
Re: These Nine Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (November 2-11)
Friday 5th, FH5 (yep I bought the premium add ons) and then the return of CJ a week later. Good month imo.
Re: Forza Horizon 5's First Update Is Now Live, 20GB For Xbox Series X|S
Preloaded the day it was available. No update for me yet though.

Wanted to like it. Tried it, spent a few hours on it but have not been inclined to go back.
Re: The First Dying Light Game Is Receiving A Next-Gen Patch
I did get a 7.5gb update yesterday.
I did also read that and think they'd made Hellraid free.
Re: Poll: How Often Do You Plan To Use Xbox Cloud Gaming On Console?
If it works as well as it currently does for mobile and pc then it'll be worthwhile but at launch it'll be temporamental at best, I think.
Re: Marvel's Avengers Is Heading To Xbox Game Pass This Thursday
Would never have bought it given the feedback but I'll be playing and checking it out myself this week.

Re: PSA: Red Dead Online Is Leaving Xbox Game Pass Soon
I bought online only for £3.49 and have only played it for around 2 hrs. I actually only realised rdo was even on gamepass 2 weeks ago.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Is Your Favourite Saints Row Game?
Easily the 3rd.
Re: Xbox Adds Halo Infinite Dynamic Background For Series X|S Owners
Aren't we still waiting for another dynamic bg to be added? I'm sure about a month ago the alpha insiders got one that still isn't available.
Re: Psychonauts 2 Is Now Available With Xbox Game Pass

Re: Art Of Rally For Xbox: How To Fix 'Press Any Button To Start' Issue
@FraserG would definitely explain why a reboot works.
Re: Art Of Rally For Xbox: How To Fix 'Press Any Button To Start' Issue
Wonder if it's regional? I have no issues in the UK. I also don't have fast boot enabled.
Re: Grand Theft Auto V Will Seemingly Run At 4K, 60FPS On Xbox Series X
@Halucigens the Series S can not run native 4k. It doesn't have the hardware. You asked, that's the answer.
Re: Grand Theft Auto V Will Seemingly Run At 4K, 60FPS On Xbox Series X
@Halucigens no game runs at 4k on S. None.
Re: Grand Theft Auto V Will Seemingly Run At 4K, 60FPS On Xbox Series X And Series S
@uptownsoul probably not. Expect 1080p @ 60 for the S. Possibly up to 1440p @ 60.
Re: Pick One: Which Codemasters Racer Are You Most Excited For On Xbox Game Pass?
Out of the above, it has to be Dirt Rally 2.0. I already own Dirt 4, F1 2020 and Grid.
Racing through Dirt 5 atm and waiting for Art of Rally.
Re: How To Claim 2000 Bonus Microsoft Rewards Points On Xbox In August
@Sunanootoko nice! I wonder if it'd work with vpns then?
Re: How To Claim 2000 Bonus Microsoft Rewards Points On Xbox In August
@Sunanootoko 4000 points are not worth £30 at all. They're worth around £4. Technically not even that given that 5850 = £5 voucher.
