No sale on Wolfenstein 2 season pass 😭. I feel like I might as well get the digital deluxe edition at that price as I think it's cheaper than the season pass has ever been by itself. I won't get much use out of my physical copy then!

Edit: just checked psprices and it looks like the standalone season pass was £6 on Xbox last december 🤔, maybe I'll hold out a while longer!

@dmcc0 no worries, glad it was some useful info!

@unionjackboy no worries! Can you use the xCloud anywhere like on the app? It's gota be the easiest way for the "start the game" quests. That's if the game is cloud enabled. But yeah, don't have to put up with any lag if you are not actually Gona play the game

International Superstar Soccer

If you've finished Ryse Son of Rome, it's easy to get 35 kills by booting up the final level. You just shoot people with the big arrow thing instead of relearning all the combat stuff!

@LtSarge sweet, yeah should be good! I sent you a message on Xbox btw, just in case you were wondering if it was really me!

@Enigk will you buy this speaker though?? 😂

I picked up the last two bits of DLC for MK11 that weren't included in the Ultimate disc

I wish there were more og games on game pass to be honest!!

@Krzzystuff Cheers for the heads up on the GS. I'll definitely save it for the punchcard! If game pass is light on games I've not played, that is

I like that Craig Derrick appears to be an Eminem fan 😂

I played Zombie Driver recently on PS3. Much better than I expected. It's like an old GTA but with zombie related missions. It's also out on Switch and occasionally discounted to about £3 it people don't have a 360

It would be funny if you booted the game and the cars just made a load of different fart and raspberry noises

Bit useless for me as I don't watch live TV and most of the streaming apps are on Xbox (except BritBox but that's on barely anything).

Tried using at as HDMI port for Switch but the Input lag was too bad for me to play anything

Maybe drop the requirement for gold to use online multiplayer but keep the BC GwG (that we get to keep when our sub runs out) as a perk of GPU along with incorporating an additional service like the Ubsioft one or something to replace the benefits of gold

Cheers, I got it on the download! Weirdly, it doesn't seem to be an actual "discount" off the usual price. It's just free, I wonder if it will stay free forever

I seem to remember there being adverts for this thing that had surgeons operating on patients remotely using the kinect which controlled a robot arm in the operating theatre. I could be mistaken though but I feel like it was part of a larger advert for Microsoft products and services

Looks cool, I remember this sort of thing for PSone (Official) and even the GameCube and possibly PS2 (unofficial)

Dang price though. If it was £40 and I could pick this and a Series S up for the same price as a Switch OLED then I would buy both in a heartbeat

Bit confused about space jam, it's not actually a game pass game is it? The ability to claim it one month early is a game pass perk but after that time, will it be available for free to non subscribers?

Looks like Ultimate MK 11 is the most complete edition to buy then.

What DLC isn't included in that release? Just want to make sure I pick up all the relevant bits and bobs if I buy a physical copy

@FraserG ahh fair enough, I will give it a go anyway and keep an eye on it!

Cheers for pointing out that state of decay one. I didn't read the text on the actual punch card so all I saw was the punches without a point amount attached to them. One of them required renting movies so I didn't bother. I have state of decay downloading now so I can get 500 points for the archievement! Cheers!

That's awesome in terms of the BC games that we get to keep! I don't think Conker is on Rare Replay so that ties that collection up nicely. I think the Midway Collection also includes the excellent Smash TV and Total Carnage. I loved smash TV so much as a kid!

A Quake Collection would be awesome and might work as a stop gap to reinvigorate the brand before launching a new sequel

Hmm, I fancy a triple chocolate donut fro Gregg's now....

Nice article and I think I'm the same way in terms of this series grabbing me when I usually don't go further into the genre than Kart games.

I do hope for more absurdity but I like that it's a bit sporadic. The more realistic events are pretty absurd (and brilliant) as it is. I look forward to seeing what they come up with 5.

I'm hoping the toy collaboration DLC will be Micro Machines though... and that it extends into the military micro machines range for portions of it

Think I couldn't get on it last night for my "final checks" but Im pretty sure I'd done what I needed to during the day.

It's still down today unfortunately. I think when a similar thing happened a few weeks/month or so ago, it was back up about 10/11pm British time so hopefully will have time to claim that 50points for an achievement

@BlueOcean it's certainly possible that it will be!!

I'll be checking out 5 on Xbox one for sure!!

I managed to play through all of ace combat 7 and the main campaign of Night Call before the last games left the service woop

I've got MvC and Soul Calibur on PS4, will have to look through the rest of these and see if there's anything else I'd be interested in playing

Looking forward to this on game pass. Will inevitably have to buy the gold edition when it gets a steep discount though to get all the DLC!

Damn, no season pass for Wolfenstein 2 on sale. I got the physical copy!

This'll be decent for me, my phone on WiFi is about 12mbps download which makes xCloud unplayable. My Xbox is about 35-63(max) which will hopefully yield better results

As @FraserG mentioned, this will be great for game pass quests

I'm guessing this might be how they might deliver flight simulator to us One users too!

@EVIL-C woop woop, I expect a fully 3D environment to move around in with 2D sprites and textures 😂

I think games should cross even more generations than they do now. I hope they release Halo Infinite on Game Boy Color

I'm actually quite keen to check out Balan Wonderland despite the negative press but unfortunately it will have to be bargain bin for me.

I wish Sega would put out a Billy Hatcher remaster!

What do we reckon? Game pass day one? Here's hoping! 😅

Wow, descenders is such a relaxing game! I think I will leave this one installed to dip in and out of.

Just a heads up, the quest won't track until you finish your career. Once you have 10,000 rep in your current career, just lose all your lives to end it and the quest and achievement will pop. Or just keep playing until you lose your lives naturally as I did because it is a decent game!

Tip for FIFA quest this week:

Start the game when it's "ready to play", it will throw you into a game between PSG and Liverpool (I think?)

Press Menu to pause go to game settings. Press RT until you get to "user gameplay customisation". Use the left stick and d pad simultaneously to adjust these settings quicker... Put sprint speed, acceleration, pass speed, goalkeeper ability, positioning marking, positioning run frequency, fullback positioning and power bar up to maximum for user. Put shot error, pass error and first touch control error down to minimum. Press RT again and use the opposite settings for the CPU gameplay customisation.

Play this first match and when you have the ball, use RT to run to the opponent's goal. Let go of RT and hold LB and RB and press B to shoot and you should score. Do this 5 times, quest pops, cancel your FIFA 21 download!

@VenomousAlbino @Rockboy247 @SacredPYRO and anybody else who may be interested...

Not sure if you are all getting the same quiz as me but here is the (thankfully short) list of games with FPS boost!

https://majornelson.com/fpsboost/

@VenomousAlbino ahh wicked, cheers for letting us know!

@VenomousAlbino @Rockboy247 @SacredPYRO same here 😭

Thankfully nothing for me. Played Observation already which was OK.Out of curiosity, I will probably give that Ace Combat game a go before it leaves but I can't see myself wanting to play through the whole thing

I've got 120 points left until I hit 10K. Just playing Yakuza Kiwami naturally now for the next few days and hopefully I'll hit it! Otherwise I'll have to bust out one of the freebies!

Do games get added to specific sales during the sale period? I'm only curious because I am eyeing up that Super Saver Sale punch card and a couple games but I don't think there's enough I really want to hit £30

Ahh a double "start the game" for this week, sweet!

Sonic, Crash or Spyro out of this list.

But if I chose an Xbox character then it would be Ori!

@LegendOfPeach I think there's a math to it. At a base level of 50 points per achievement a day (for this example I am discounting additional punch cards and weeklies). If the GS for an achievement is less than 50 then it's worth saving it for that daily. If the GS is higher than 50 then it would be worth scoring for this punch card as GS directly translates to points.

You could probably say a larger number if you could do the maths and work out exactly what the maximum and also the average amount of points you could get per acheivement on a normal day. Would need to collect the data of what points are available over a few months though.

Having said that, between Game Pass, GwG and paid for games, there is an abundance of available achievements and/or gamerscore. I don't think I will personally run out if I just use the quick games for this punch card and save the drop in/out games like Forza Horizon for the achievement a day.

But....I do like making spreadsheets for random stuff like this so maybe I will collect some data over a period of time in the future and get back to you with a definitive answer. Or at least post it over in the rewards thread in the forums! 😅

There's an easy 545 gamerscore available for just booting all the games in Rare Replay (including the 360 titles which unlock cumulative achievements like "play every banjo game")

Ah that's brilliant, cheers for updating that other guide too. It's good to get these points with game pass games that have a sell by date on them and save the GwG and other free games for a similar future punch card when there is slim pickings for easy achievements on the then available game pass games!

Edit: looks like I've got 6 of the game pass games in that challenge guide left with no achievements popped so that's a good start but I may have to dip into my GwG and free games selection
