Key point from me though is the 2 games above are really the only 2 I ever bought. Now I have Game Pass, I’ve played 61 over the year.
I wouldn’t have considered myself a ‘gamer’ prior to Game Pass. Now I wear it as a badge of honour. I’ve found I love the smaller indie type games, games I would never have considered or even known about without Game Pass.
@Dusk_Actual yeh, released a couple of years ago, not the newer “core” version. For the price I’d expect better. Hearing the “core” having similar issues. To be fair I’d purchase a new one if confident the quality issues had been addressed, doesn’t seem to be the case though.
@Reptilio I struggled to find this option. If you go into the edit profile section, at the top you have options to amend/delete. Once you enter the amend section, where you change the button config, there is now an option at the top right to change the colour. I’ve found it really useful!
Until I had Game Pass I only played AAA games. Had never considered Indie, known about the games or had any interest. Since Game Pass, I’ve actually found that Indie games are the ones I love the most. I nearly exclusively play the Indie titles and although I have bought and downloaded AAA titles, I rarely play them now.
Game Pass has totally opened my eyes to an area of the market I just didn’t know existed before.
Very happy about this! A game I’m intrigued to try but didn’t want to buy because it’s…well a lawn mower sim and have no idea if I’d enjoy. As with most Game Pass games, if I’m still playing when it’s leaving, I’ll buy it.
I pre-installed Avengers. Went to play it today, said I don’t have the rights and to insert disc. Uninstalled. Now cannot find Avengers on Game Pass anywhere. I’m in the UK, anyone else?
I’ve found issues with the Tomb Raider games. When I quick resume there’s no audio.
Little Nightmares, I’ll load into where I left off however next load from checkpoint will just freeze on blank screen.
For games I play online, it’s actually added a step for me as I choose to force quit the game to avoid any disconnected issues.
Overall, I think it’s great. Sometimes I forget the console has only been out a few months. Vast majority of games at the moment were designed without this feature in mind. I’m happy to live through the teething problems.
Whole thing was a bit of a nightmare, starting with the leak of the Xbox credit from the store.
This wouldn’t have impacted me as a GPU subscriber and did seem very steep in comparison. Would like to hear some of the thinking behind the initial decision to increase but appreciate that won’t happen.
I gamed lots in my pre-teens and teens. Stepped away from it for years.
Current climate has brought me back in. I couldn’t be happier. Having this type of escapism, an opportunity to connect with friends at a time when we must stay socially distant and also the sense of achievement by beating a hard level or winning a game against friends has been fantastic to have when there really isn’t much else to do.
I’m lucky enough to still have work when others can’t due to lockdowns. Gaming has in no way impacted my productivity.
I’ve got so many games to get through at the moment anyway that I’m holding off purchasing 2077 until later into next year. I’m hopeful by then, with all the patches & updates, it will sing on my Series X.
I played for about 3 hours when I first installed the game.
When I went back to play the next day I was right back to the start, was really confused. I do take some comfort that it’s a known issue and will be resolved.
I’m avoiding playing until I know it’s fixed which is a shame.
@Darylb88 I have spoken to Game again and it appears as though the order number I’m able to view via my account doesn’t match the actual Series X pre-order, which I received in my email.
You mentioned you also have a random cancelled order, does that order number differ from the confirmation Series S order received from Game?
It sounds like I have a good order for my Series X, which I completed via a guest account and therefore isn’t linked, and a cancelled random order against my account. Something I might have even done myself by accident during the madness!
I’ve also pre-ordered the controller charger pack. The charger pack is showing as “Unshipped”, the Series X “Cancelled”.
I’m almost positive this means they took my order, confirmed it then realised they were out of stock. But the person I spoke to said everything was fine their end and to expect my Series X on launch.
To hear that your order @Pi3rc3y is showing as “Unshipped”, that doesn’t give me that warm fuzzy feeling at all!
I’ve pre-ordered via Game. Got all my emails confirming finance is sorted, confirmation email from Game that order has been received successfully, even an email just 2 days ago thanking me for pre-ordering.
However, when I view the pre-order on my account, the status is “Cancelled”. I’ve struggled to but finally managed to speak to someone at Game who said my order looks fine their end.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour with their order via Game?

Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Discusses 'Building Towards' New Storefront That'll Rival Apple & Google
Very interested to understand how a Xbox Store front would work on iPhone/iPad.
Would current Game Pass games need to be written from group up to work on iOS/iPadOS?
I’m very keen to have a way I can play Game Pass games locally on my iDevices, is it even possible?!
Re: Poll: How Many Xbox Games Have You Actually Bought This Year?
2 for me. CoD & NHL 22.

Re: Xbox's 'Improved' Elite Series 2 Controller Is Getting Mixed Feedback So Far
Yeh my Elite 2 has the grip pealing off and sticky buttons. Also squeaky triggers. Shame as great pad otherwise.

Re: Three More Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (November 30)
I think the only negative I can find in Game Pass is there’s too much choice!
Re: Stop The Presses, Lawn Mowing Simulator Is Finally Coming To Xbox Game Pass
Very happy about this! A game I’m intrigued to try but didn’t want to buy because it’s…well a lawn mower sim and have no idea if I’d enjoy. As with most Game Pass games, if I’m still playing when it’s leaving, I’ll buy it.
Re: Six More Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (September 30)
This is so weird.
I had the whole 130gb download. Then trying to troubleshoot I’ve deleted it and cannot see Avengers on Game Pass at all?

Re: These Three Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass Today (April 15)
Finished Deliver Us The Moon last night. Loved it! Not a long game.
Re: Poll: How Are You Finding Quick Resume On Xbox Series X|S So Far?
Love it although still not perfect.
I’ve found issues with the Tomb Raider games. When I quick resume there’s no audio.
Little Nightmares, I’ll load into where I left off however next load from checkpoint will just freeze on blank screen.

Loving Little Nightmares.
Re: Phil Spencer Apologises For 'Angst And Emotion' Caused By Xbox Live Gold Price Hike
@Dezzy70 I think you’re spot on. Very hard to argue with an increase to GPU, I think it’s a complete steal at the moment.
Re: Phil Spencer Apologises For 'Angst And Emotion' Caused By Xbox Live Gold Price Hike
Fair play for rolling this back.
Whole thing was a bit of a nightmare, starting with the leak of the Xbox credit from the store.
This wouldn’t have impacted me as a GPU subscriber and did seem very steep in comparison. Would like to hear some of the thinking behind the initial decision to increase but appreciate that won’t happen.

Sad to see stories calling out kids like that.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Next-Gen Update To Arrive Second Half Of 2021
I’m happy to wait, so many great games to get through before then.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Jan 2nd)
Focusing on finishing Far Cry 5 this weekend.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With January 2021's Xbox Games With Gold?
I just bought Little Nightmares today...nightmare!

Re: 343 Has No Plans To Add Halo 5 To The Master Chief Collection
I had a 360 and now have a One X. Series X ordered.
I hadn’t played any Halo games until a few days ago after downloading MCC, half way through Reach, loving it!
