So looking forward to Age of Empires II Definitive Edition dropping next week on GP.

while where discussing Age of empires, the first games definitive edition on PC has been destroyed by daily MS point hunters, Id hate to try and play it online but its perfect for getting your daily play with friends task done, you log on join one of the 100s of multi-player servers that say no play ms points only leave it for a few minutes log off collect your 400+ daily points

Is this for console finally?

[hudson]

sure is...

[Neon Ignition]

... but is it going to be the fastest way to get the daily MS points?

I really wish PC games were on xcloud and counted for the daily challenges

[Neon Ignition]

The online one is the real problem, it's not always quick to ping and there are so few online PC MS games you'd be playing daily indefinitely (though I'm thankful to have never had mine swap for the Fortnite requirement)

When I get home from work the first thing I do habitually now is fire up the PC, start up Forza Horizon 5 and let it idle till my phone pops.

[wheelaa]

Awesome. I know what I'll be doing for some of the weekend. 55 achievements too, if TA list is accurate.

Iirc there is no online multiplayer on Xbox?

(Apologies if video covers that...watched with no sound...)
