Wait Destiny 2 is 60fps now? I thought the next gen patch was next month.
I think the Series X may well be the quietest console ever designed? Granted mine is behind the TV, but besides when it's reading off a disk, I literally don't hear it.
Also, I find the controller more comfortable than my Elite 1. Though it's not as heavy, nor does it have as premium materials, it's actually still better built in that it has no creaks whatsoever, whilst the Elite 1 has quite a number. Just a shame the buttons are so loud and clickety clackety, because otherwise the controller is supremely comfortable and ergonomic.
One negative, I have had a number of crashes and issues with the Series X, but they've been very few and far between, usually the issues arise after one too many suspend resumes.
The biggest issue I've had happen twice, was on restart it would simply no longer load Yakuza anymore. No matter how many times I quit and re-started the game, it'd just stay on the gold coloured loading screen indefinitely.
I tried turning off the system via the UI, and it just crashed and froze at the main UI and wouldn't turn off.
Both times I had to hold the power button on the system itself to get it to turn off and start up properly to load the game. But as mentioned, luckily this particular issue has only happened twice in several hours of gameplay.

Sweet. I've actually never played the Dead Space series. I bought the first one, now I just need to download it on Series X.
This was my experience on One X, it was literally unplayable, I expected the same on Series X but it works great for some reason. Same Wi-Fi and iPad/iPhone. I played about 2 hours this morning, microstutters but otherwise great. As a parent who has to hide modern games because nothing is suitable for kids this is like a gift from the heaven, the console is incredibly silent too so it doesn't bother anyone that it's powered on in the living room.👌
Definitely do it.
Dead Space 2 is a masterpiece.
Whole series comes with EA Play which is now a part of Gamepass Ultimate as well.
I'm guessing no? I'd love to be wrong, though. My internal SSD is basically full, and I only have 13 games on it. The unexpected (for me) Series X enhancements for Avengers and Modern Warfare are the main culprits.
Its so fun to see so many new players in both BFV and Gears 5 multiplayer thanks to Gamepass/EA play with the launch of SeriesX/S☺️
That's good to hear. I played the original Gears on 360 on Xbox Live everyday until 3-4am way back in the day. I think I played a little of Gears 2, but Gears 5 will be my first Gears in quite some time. Good to know there's a bunch of people playing it. Well see if I get sucked into the multiplayer like I did way back when.
I changed the batteries on my controller (I cycle through rechargeable ones) and the controller lost all connectivity to the console. I tried everything but only a full shutdown fixed it. Is there a reason for this or some way I can avoid it? The whole reason I went the rechargeable battery route was so I could quickly switch batteries and be in the game with full charge in like 5 seconds.
Thats weird, I changed batteries today while playing gears 5 and the controller connected fine afterward.
Not sure if it was in this thread or somewhere else I saw a post lamenting that they removed "Xbox One X Enhanced Games" grouping when using a Series X in the Games and Apps list. That's now back in the latest preview update of the dash, you have X|S optimised, One X enhanced, Xbox One, Xbox 360/OG groupings. 🎉
On November 17 there is a new season launching that adds 7 characters and 5 maps, too.
Oddly it was gears 5 I was playing as well. I got the prompt "please reconnect your controller, press A" but the controller wouldn't do anything. Did you turn your controller off first? I wonder if not doing that caused the issue.
Iknow they are different and may of been discussed eariler but would you grab this or Watchdogs Legion? Running on a series x.
The side quests being more like BOTW/Witcher 3 is appealing for Valhalla. But I would like a game I can really sink my teeth into for the next gen and yet show off my black pillar in the living room. I played origins and really liked it and only dabbled in Odyssey a little bit.
However watchdogs will look good with the RTX but Valhalla runs better?.
Any thoughts

Twas me! A great update. Just making things a bit easier to see what to play next.
Some enhanced games still work on USB external storage, there's a good chance Modern Warfare does as I know War Zone happily plays from my USB SSD.
not sure about Avengers but it might do, if you check the file info you can see what SDK it uses, any targeting Durango can be played from USB
Yes bfv has been my favorite game of the generation and I was playing on ea play before official release a couple of years ago. The numbers have dwindled but player count is way up now. And it runs so well on the x it's like a new game. Simply fantastic and I can't wait to play today. I'm over 400 hours now. It's the only game I have ever bought on Xbox, ps, and pc.

How do you use the remote play ?I'm in love ❤
It's morning, kids are up watching TV, I'm in bed remote playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla from Series X.
Each to their own and all, but I find the D-Pad on the new controller to be dreadful and I've reverted back to an Xbox One controller as a result.
Go into Settings -> TV and Display -> Device Control.
Turn on HDMI-CEC and then tick the first two boxes on the right.
Hope that helps :)
The Gears Tactics port is superb. Looks great, and the improved joypad controls have removed the clunkiness I felt on the old pc version.
There is a menu activation for it in the dash under settings, then I just used the Xbox app on iOS, connected a controller, started the stream and BAM! Comfy bed Valhalla! :)
Destiny 2 will be 60 on December 10th. It's still the 30fps One X version through BC right now.
My Elite controller doesn't seem to be turning on my Xbox. Any ideas? I have to press the button on the front to turn it on.
I had the Double Nat issue pop up a couple of weeks ago on my 1X and had to activate bridge mode on my router to get rid of it. Got my SX and it had the same issue, despite the previous activation, so I toggled bridge mode on & off, and it now has open NAT.
Have you synchronized the controller with the console? It's a circular button in the console. Press the Xbox button on the controller and that bottom on the console at the same time.
Nice to see Yakuza: Like a Dragon has been added to quick resume, although just after I closed the game forgetting I was in a dungeon and lost about half an hour of progress!
It's pretty much the first game I've played that has quick resume enabled (Gears 5, Forza Horizon 4, Forza 7 and Watch Dogs: Legion not working with it for me so far)

I absolutely love it. People at work asked me which game I've played the most so far and they look at me as I'm crazy when I say Tetris!
Same here but auto fixed after doing the "test NAT type" in network settings.
Yeah it looks CRAZY good on Series X and not bad for such an "old " game! Supersharp, great textures (imo) and rocksolid 60fps 😁
Can someone explain how quick resume works to me? I've been hopping back and forth between Forza Horizon 4 and Skate 3, I threw gears 5 into the mix to try and show it off to my wife and now both Skate 3 and Gears 5 want to launch from cold again?
If it's going to be ditching games as you add more it really needs to tell you, I could see myself losing a lot of progress this way or just not using the feature which is a shame

As a newcomer to gamepass:
How long do games tend to stay on there?
When something is "leaving soon", how long do I have to play it?
If I download a game and it leaves gamepass, I assume I can no longer play it?
I have several games on my "play later" list and want to make sure I manage things right and don't miss out on them because they leave the service.

It was working just fine before. I synced on day 1 with use cable.
1 - Games that are third party usually stay around a year.
2 - 15 days
3 - No, you cannot play it if it leaves Game Pass. You get a 20% discount if you buy a game that is on Game Pass, though.
I'm pretty new to it but I think games like RDR2 left after about a year. Obviously, first party games and presumably anything from the EA Play library will be there permanently.
They announce a game is leaving like a couple weeks beforehand. Apparently you get like a 20% discount if you decide to purchase it digitally though.
Unfortunately, Massive has said they're not going to update Division 2 (or 1) for next generation. Looks like the game is hitting end of life.
Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed they didn't go with WiFi 6 when the PS5 was able to get it in.
For all games there is a minimum of 3 months a game needs to stay in gamepass. After that it all depends on what kind of deal they made.
I think it's best to give Microsoft some time to update their system software for a more stable quick resume experience.
I personally didn't come across any problem with this features, but I'm also not the target market because aside from some quick tests on the first and second day of owning the Series X, I haven't used quick resume.
Yeah I've had a few crashes (one of which happened literally just now). Also Quick Resume only seems to work with one game for me - dragon age inquisition!
hope they can patch this stuff soon.
