Xbox Series S/X: Thread 04

It's nuts and I desperately wish Steam has something similar because there doesn't seem to be any real way of getting the price of the Deck down. I had been averaging 12,000 points every 8 weeks, current benchmarking means I might get this down to 4 weeks

Play more games and sell all the trading cards.

Sadly I rinsed that trick a while back via a programme that unlocked them all. Gonna have to save the old fashioned way

Karma got me though. Last night I was 18m 30 into a 20 minute race in FH5 when the screen goes black and I get booted to the main screen with it saying I needed an internet connection to play. I get in a few more times for a few seconds per time but eventually the connection stays off. I turn off the machine, sleep, resume first thing this morning and... no quick resume, race progress lost.

This is surprising because even though there are ongoing shortages, looking at the incoming stock over the past month or so it really felt like there was alot more PS5 available compared to previous month's... there was that whole story about Sony airlifting consoles to meet demand.

Gah that sucks was really looking forward to that, its been heavily featured in the coming soon tab on the game pass app alongside pretty much nothing else, so its their poster boy for the first half of the year so they need something to plug that gap.

Yeah it leaves a gap but I'd rather they test it thoroughly and take their time.

This the full list of game pass stuff this far.

It'll be Starfield next. I'll be amazed if that's out this year. Still no images or gameplay vids, just that CGI trailer...

Redfall is another vaporware game that's scheduled for this year too but only been shown in leaked dodgy pre screenshots and via a dodgy CGI trailer.


Hopefully Atomic Heart still makes it out this year we've seen quite a bit of this so its at least in game form and it looks pretty interesting.

Yeah, as much as it pains me to say it, it feels like there is no way we’re getting Starfield this year.

Now official and a harder delay than was rumoured. Stalker 2 is now targetting a December release. Frankly, if Starfield is still on course for November then this would be better kicked well into 2023

I don't believe either is coming out 2022

[Stakers]

There’s one game showing as ‘Coming Soon’ on the Gamepass App. Stalker 2. 08/12/2022!!
