Xbox Series S/X: Thread 04

[nonny]

pre-loading now

Yeah same here... I didn't realise this is a simultaneous worldwide release so the NZ location switch trick doesn't work. This is going live tomorrow 6pm for UK.

I was just checking about unlock time. This is my first time playing on an Xbox after the 360 and was hoping it would be a midnight launch tonight.

I'm pre-loaded and ready to go. I'm on the 1080p monitor so I'm expecting 144fps of greatness! Will this play ok with a 360 pad?

How are you lot getting it to ore install? It’s disappeared off the gamepass section and won’t do anything for me.

Normally it is, and normally you can switch your console location to New Zealand and play early... but for some reason they've decided this is getting a worldwide release so that won't work.

I don't mind as it gives me one more night to wrap up Uncharted 4.

Fishbowlhead... I installed from the game pass android app on my phone and queued it up.

Tried that if briefly pops up on the dashboard then the console auto cancels it and it disappears in an instant.

Yeah, I can't seem to get anything more than the MP to download. This

suggests we have to wait, yet some seem to have it, and others think they do but it's just the mp they hadn't already nabbed, and so on.

[fishbowlhead]

Great. Good job MS.

Weirdly when I queued it up on the android app it literally days it's downloading the 60gb campaign... seems it goes to and then stalls as its not available.

Doesn't really bother me, its out at 6pm and there's zero chance of me sitting down till the kids are in bed.

PC mate. It just worked. No one was more surprised than me!

[fishbowlhead]

It was showing on the app as a 60gig file now it seems to have been pulled and is only showing as the multiplayer file.

This is bull. Can’t even buy the disk and install it that way as there’s nothing on it. What a crap launch.

What are you on about crap launch... it literally isn't out yet. It's out tomorrow and you can install it then.

I'm not surprised MS is blocking the discs untik tomorrow either. Stops all chance of spoilers apart from the review copies that went out.

Some details on install and size.

Should have gone live at midnight, 6pm is a bloody stupid time to launch
