Played the pc demo a few weeks ago and to be quite honest I thought it was awful

Anyone else get the feeling MS could have easily filled another hour with reveals given what was missing?

Been wanting to play but just getting connection errors since I downloaded it yesterday.

Cant wait to get home from work and get on palworld...definitely surprised a lot of people that have been playing since Tuesday

First load of act blizz games surely?...release date or shadow drop.

Its easy for me to type this here as i have no real understanding of the work involved in a deal like this, but having to wait months(apparently) to get some games on gamepass seems a bit long, how difficult could it be to put games like spyro and crash on GP when they are already available on series x/s?

Surely they could drop the crash/spyro remakes along with ctr plus other acti blizz games that already work on series x/s

If MS/Activ have been preparing for a long time regarding the deal going through(safe to assume they have) and have games ready to drop on to gamepass they need to get it done quickly and get the ads/promotions out there in time for the festive season would really help to sell consoles and GP subs.

Did anyone else in the uk get a gov.uk message/email earlier this morning informing the cma had approved the deal?

Wouldn't be surprised to see some older activision games on gamepass almost straight away, would be a good selling point for anyone looking to buy a series x or especially series s for Christmas

Isnt Warhammer darktide (re)releasing at 11pm uk?...i had a look on xbox store earlier and it wasnt on there, seems a bit odd

Playing on pc, it will be absolutely worth the wait, game of the year.

2nd time for imagine dragons doing video game trailer music...AC3 trailer with Connor(?) being a badass

@mousieone the same judge that was chosen by the ftc themselves...

Haven't played any other games in this franchise but had a little time with together forever this morning and quite enjoyed it,really looking forward to exploring the game further

@Kaloudz not sure if you have seen this but the CAT have refused the cma request to delay things until october..CAT said: "We consider that the CMA has not paid sufficient heed to the true public interest in this case – which is the swift resolution of Microsoft's Notice."

@Jenkinss thanks for the reply and link!

@Jenkinss where are you listening?

Less than 50p per day...

I assume MS would have considered this likely even before the deal was announced

Im in uk too...might be worth a watch with it not being on at silly o clock.

@S1ayeR74 it says 8pm BST in the article...

Decent selection, been enjoying ghostlore on pc cant wait to pick it up again on console

Finally the real trakmania comes to console

@WaffleDee very likely but you know how things have always been between the uk and eu

@Kaloudz its almost like our cma said no knowing that the eu will say yes

Reuters sources mentioned this after the eu meeting a few weeks ago...it will go through and once again the uk will be a laughing stock.

Do the cma realise that sony chose MS azure to help with ps now?...or didnt that ever come to fruition?

We did it guys! Good work CMA! Sony must be so happy.
This comment from pushsquare...

Lets be honest ign are a joke literally everything they do is just plain awful now and almost amateurish...inconsistent reviews, heavy handed gameplay videos, repetitive news articles and so on

@Kevw2006 quite a big step for ms though given how massive mobile gaming is in japan and activision own king who are also massive in the mobile market,

No one taking about the deal being approved in japan...

Looking forward to trying the beta but as we all know with diablo it takes 2 years after release for the games to get where they should be...

Checked out all 3 of these and the forest Gaurdian really has the wow factor the other 2 are impressive too

Absolutely loving it!...Already renting a server so family and friends I play with can jump into our world when im not online.

@Jenkinss i was looking at using Nitrado... Is just a matter of signing up and then using the details from nitrado to create a server within xbox valheim?

Any chance of the pure xbox team running a feature on how to get valheim up and running on a dedicated server(rented)?

@BBB think it has community servers on xbox and not rentable dedicated ones like on pc, basically create your game as a community sever and then password protect it and it will always there for you and your friends

@themightyant yea bare bones offer at best, wonder if that would put some CoD fans on PlayStation off buying the game

@themightyant if sony basically cause activision to lose out on an $70billion deal i cant see activision falling over themselves to offer sony a new cod deal.

Only a matter of time now before the deal is done and we can move on...off topic but that bug fixing patch is a hefty one at 67.5gb

@Kaloudz so much of the uk government(and the judicial system) is out of touch with reality it beggars belief.

Id still like to know to the "fun week at xbox" aaron promised us a couple weeks ago unless the fun he was referring to was at the xbox offices for phil spencer birthday...

Is there something big happening with ESO?...seems an odd choice if not

@Kaloudz things seem a bit weird at the moment, only one game of free plays days, only 2games on gamepass since mid December...hopefully xbox are up to something

Played the demo and really really enjoyed it and as pip_muzz said if wo long is as good as the nioh games will be in for a treat...on a side note whats with oreo biscuits all over the xbox UK twitter along with 16jan and #unlockplayfulness, is this part of the fun we were promised?

These 3 games have been sat in the coming soon section(with dates attached) of gamepass for weeks now!

@Widey85 and weirdly the two games mentioned the other day(SF30th and diofield chronicle) are available to install via the xbox app but aren't playable.

Diofield chronicle and Street fighter 30th have been available for a couple hours via the xbox phone app

God awful review(just saying)...personally never watched a single episode of Rick and morty, played high on life for about four hours so far and I'm quite enjoying it.
