Forza Motorsport 7 added today. Hope the framerate can be unlocked to 165fps

This Firefox/Chrome add-on/plug-in(EDIT: Edge too - because @Cyan said so) might save some people money from buying games on Steam when it's already on Game Pass.

you deserve a monument! (add Edge, which is chromium based and the chrome extensions work on it)

Age of Empires III Definitive Edition started to download today, 35GB, should be out tomorrow.

Can't wait! It's the Age of Empires game I missed 'cos I purchased it digital on Impulse -Gamestop virtual store, which was closed- some years after, and tomorrow I am going to start playing it intensely.

it's been a while ever since I felt sooooooo excited about playing a game. I can't wait to play it, but it's late and I want to sleep. Tomorrow, however...., this baby is gonna know what love is.

The only thing I've done for now has is booting it and this is what it tells me about the hardware - the CPU is a 3700X and the GPU is a relatively sad 1060 3GB that with that VRAM is one limitation after another, but well, it's a fast and low-power GPU-

My favourite Halo ever -while not being the biggest fan of Halo I like the franchise-, Halo 4, comes out to gamepass PC November 17th.

EA Play for PC Gamepass delayed.

We made the decision to delay until 2021 the release of EA Play on PC as part of the Xbox Game Pass for PC and Ultimate memberships.

Never played H4... I like the first halo the most still

Not worth sullying your memory of the series. It's awful before 343i proved capable of making the even more awful Halo 5.

Ye, it didnt even appear on my radar, which is good. Il keep the Halo CE 2001 memories and hope infinite is the next successor to the real halo

out of interest does someone fancy rating the halo games in order
ive only played halo1 and a bit of halo2

mmm...... for me... Halo CE, Reach, Halo 3, ODST, Halo 2

ODST was a nice change of pace, but the open world could get a little boring IMO. I suggest just playing it in order of release anyway. There are a couple of levels I really don't like in Halo 3, while Reach was pretty solid all the way through hence my ranking there. There are a couple set pieces in Halo 3 that are really great though.

Always better in co-op if you don't mind the lag (depending on who is host).

Thanks

That's because of GamePass ...

I had a free 3 month trial and some games would not install (rage 2, wolfenstein youngblood) and the error message was just "there has been an unexpected error"
plus Microsoft "Do not deny me access to my own hard drive"!!!!

I was having those issues last year. Seems to be sorted out now, for me at least.

tomorrow should be the official day of Saint GamePass PC: Nier Automata, Octopath Traveller, Auto HDR, EA Play...., I can't even describe it with words.

Nier Automata on gamepass PC for Windows 10 is fixed and improved compared to the Steam version.
