Xbox Series S/X: Thread 05

[Tobal]

GPU is back on the rewards menu, i think it is little more expensive but i can't remember what the cost was before, but it's now 35k(42k with no level 2 status) for 3 months, 12k for 1 month, so best for me is use the auto redeem in the xbox dashboard for 10,500 for 1 month.

I think that is the same pricing as before. Someone else can probably comfirm.

Anybody use a gaming clip for Xbox cloud gaming in bed (or similar) or even for PS5?

Quake 2 appeared on the main platforms today … inc Game Pass

Yeah it's out on pretty much all platforms right now for £7.99 but it's also on game pass.

It looks like a pretty stellar remaster as it includes all DLC and a new expansion along with the 4K graphics, new AI etc...

It's also got cross play and 8p split screen on PC/Xbox. Yeah you read that right... mental.

I mean if I was going to cut a few features to make the release date I'd probably pick those...

A rewards tip if you want to get a game pass achievement every day for several days:

- Play Age of Empires 2
- Select single player
- Select skirmish
- Set game mode to Deathmatch
- Set victory settings to score
- Set score total to 4000
- Set your civilisation as non-random (more on this below)

This will let you instantly win and you get an achievement for winning with each civilisation so rotate through all 25+ one per day to net yourself the 50 points daily reward.

You can go through all the Killer Instinct characters too if you want easy achievements - not sure I can be bothered just for 50 points tbh.

I think I rinsed KI years back...

As starfeild draws nearer i started to look into what the diffrent versions get you

I'm finding it interesting that Microsoft have started adding early access to premium editions (you can get the premium edition on game pass for £30) where as the full digital premium edtion is £100. Is it really day one on game-pass though when the only way to play it the day it comes out is via the premium edtions?

[MartyG]

You get to play it on launch day, so probably.

Paying £99 so you can play the bugs five days early (prior to launch) is for mugs.

[hudson]

Anyone going to be Starfielding it on Series S?

You could argue that it launches (for digital Delux owners) five days prior to the standard edition, I dont blame micrsoft trying to push users into a more expensive version of the game when gamepass doesn't actually have any users that are paying £10 a month. Why? because cheap Xbox live gold vouchers and a shinny pound coin was all you needed to max you subs out for years to come.
