Xbox Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate now Includes EA Play! [XGP, GamePass]

Maybe they'll have FF7R lined up for gamepass next year ala the Yakuza port launch.

 

Luckily, at least for them, as long as they are a student then Office 365 is free.

Part of why Phil Spencer was making all those trips to Japan the past couple of years. Not the only thing that's been accomplished but one of them.

While nice, MS still have a ways to go. Square-Enix's newest project is PS5 exclusive, so similar to FF7R. Can't blame them, as going by current gen. sales, targeting PS5 first is the safe bet for a publisher.

Four new ID@Xbox games

• The Messenger
• Streets of Rogue
• Observation
• Night Call

Observation will also be on PC too.

 

Depends on the school district. Also I would say on a personal level never use something provided by a school/ work for personal files. at the end of the day microsoft 365 home is only $100 a year for 6 users and 1TB of one drive per user

Where did you hear its PS5 exclusive ? Pretty sure its coming to PC.

 

I don't think MS can do much about Sony doing deals like these where they pay publishers to keep things off of Xbox.

 

You can sulk or post on forums how the universe is unfair. But come, it's Square-Enix, the game will take 10 years to arrive. Or maybe, it'll be really good like Rockstar's PlayStation exclusive game, Agent.

 

I'm ded...

During the PS5 reveal/showcase they said it was developed exclusively for the PS5. After the fact it was revealed that it would just be a timed exclusive.

If you're looking for quick little game to play, start Carrion. It's a monster massacre game, where you play as the monster. The movement is so great.

 

ooooh it's on GamePass? Excellent.

 

That's just whacked. LOL

The Switch game The Touryst is also out this week. Also, a few of the Summer Fest demos are out too.

cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,cool,NOPE. I'm not trying Scorn!

 

I finished Carrion. It's a fun game, I wish I had gone for some of the Containment upgrades earlier so I could use the additional monster benefits more during the game. Though maybe that would have made some sections a bit too easy.

This is exactly the reason why I love Game Pass so much, it allows me to try out so many different and varied games that I would not have bought otherwise. I don't feel the need or compulsion to play the entire game or even beyond the first chapter if I'm not feeling it. It is so entirely worth the full price.

Some news related to Carrion -- https://www.windowscentral.com/carrion-200000-copies-hundreds-thousands-game-pass

Carrion from Phobia Game Studio and Devolver Digital released on July 23 and according to a new press release, it's doing quite well. Per Gematsu, Devolver Digital shared that Carrion has sold 200,000 copies. Devolver Digital also revealed that Carrion has "hundreds of thousands" of players through Xbox Game Pass.

This is in line with comments from other developers and publishers, such as the developers of CrossCode, who revealed that more people are playing CrossCode through Game Pass than through PS4 and Nintendo Switch put together.​

 

Yep. I find a lot more value in exposure to all the indie titles I wouldn't have tried otherwise.

 

What are Containment upgrades? They're separate from the canisters you break open and evolve from to gain new abilities?

 

That's how you get them too, but the areas are usually locked behind more puzzles or where you need Level 2 or 3 abilities when you only have Levl 1 or Level 2 when advancing through the story. So you would need to backtrack to those areas in order to get them. You only gain so many abilities through the story. Other powerups are extra tendrils or more power levels for Left Bumper abilities or more flame resistance.

They are marked with a White Diamond shape that is supposed to be a Fish. When you see that, the containment canister is close by.

True Achievements has a few links to some good guides. The Maps were very useful when trying to backtrack.

 

Thread title need changing now it's just Game Pass?

 

Xbox symbol is still there even if the text is not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
