    Only 3 weeks after I paid for the game in the summer sales Immortals Fenyx Rising is hitting game pass at the end of this month...

    There is also a fair chance Deathloop joins game pass once the year long exclusivity deal expires on September 14th. The current rumour is its ready but MS isn't prepared to talk about it yet.

    If anything it'll be a stealth release straight into the service.

      Just 2-3 weeks after Gamescom...

          Definitely an Elite 2, definitely looks better in black

            Guessing it'll still be made out of pritt stick and cardboard... Sigh

              I'd read about Halo Infinite's low player count not too long ago on Era but in the last week, unless something else was going on, I think I've started to see the first notable signs of it. A couple of times now I've gone on to play a match and the game has failed to locate an available match. It's the first of it happening but given this season still has a little over two months left to go it potentially bodes poorly.

              I know many are hoping Forge will help but I think MS needs to launch it and Season 03 with a PR push akin to when they launch something like Forza Horizon's DLC. They need to remind people the game is still even there as for such a major IP, PC friendly, F2P and Game Pass game it's getting really dire and damning regarding the lack of official maps as Forge doesn't excuse that.

                They've been tinkering with the matchmaking in the last 6 weeks or so which has caused this issue for some but equally there has definitely been a major drop in numbers. I do think many are simply waiting for content to drop at the end of Season 2 and 343 should have looked to roll out a few extra maps by now instead of what they are doing... which is holding back to re-launch with Forge.

                From what I've seen of Forge this far it is quite possibly the best editing tools for a console game I've ever seen. They're literally putting developer level tools into the hands of the community, and it seems a custom browser is coming to support it as well.

                Agree though... it has completely stagnated at this point. I'm sure once Forge comes out we will see players return in decent numbers but it is definitely bottoming out until then.

                  Based on the Waypoint forums, a large portion of Infinite players are actually dress sim players. Dress sim players that have completed this season's dress pass, with many also having completed this season's Fracture dress event, so they have little to no desire to play a game where they won't be earning new dresses.

                    Reading about this makes me feel like Stewart Lee talking about Rap Singers:

                      I'm now up to level... 64 I think based on 1-2 matches per day so by the end of Season 02 I'll likely be quite close to end of the free stuff from this season with almost zero effort. Not through being good... just how stretched out it's been

                        Apparently (looking at Twitter) there's another flight in September with two new maps, gun game and the new DMR rifle plus a few other bits.

                        There's also the Yappening event with modes like Kong Slayer (everyone gets infinite fusion coils) which sounds like a laugh.

                        Still it's frustratingly slow progress

                          Well with the ps5 being the most expensive console now I'm sure we can see those numbers increasing again.

                                New maps is great, forge beta in November is great... not starting Season 3 till next year though. Jeez...

                                I seriously question what 343 is doing behind the scenes here. I love this game and if they threw an extra 4-5 maps into rotation on arena and BTB I'd play it a lot more regardless of battle passes and crap like that.
