The best thing about Game Pass is the constant excitement for new stuff. There is always the next cryptic tweet waiting for you. I love it.

Great OT Gowans ! amazing work as ever!

Does anyone know if Teris effect has a global launch time? I just popped to New Zealand, where it's already 8 a.m. on the 10th, and the title is still labelled as pre-order :-(

don't you get a free month of disney+ just for signing up anyway, or was that just a week?

Hm, maybe I'll watch S1 of The Mandalorian this month. I got the $1 for a month deal last week. Does the Disney Plus XB1X app run 4K/HDR fine?

About time they gave a firm date for river city girls. It's been coming for half a year.

When does tetris get unlocked? It says it releases on the 9th.

Wow a surprise day one drop on planet coaster, that's incredible! As if I couldn't be any more hyped for tomorrow!

Random question, but has MS ever talked about doing "direct" touch controls for cloud streaming? Like instead of emulating the gamepad with virtual buttons you actually touch the cards in Slay the Spire (etc.)?

I know touch and even streaming is all very early now, but I was wondering if that's something they're working on. That would really take mobile Game Pass to the next level, but I'm sure it's not easy at all.

I think it could be done, actually. If I'm not mistaken, that sumo digital racing game has some touch control scheme that is not strictly emulating the gamepad. It would be awesome for Slay but it's good enough as it is.


I dont like the title. Stupid meme.

Doesn't resonate with me either.

EA Play games are now on the mobile app by searching for them. The supported EA cloud games can also now be played on Android.

Yep, I can see them in the Gamepass app. I'm in the UK but some folks in the US say they can see them too.

Tetris and planet coaster are also unlocked for me (midnight gmt)

Yeah, just downloaded and launched the 10 hour trial for NHL 21. EA Play is definitely active.

Random question. Getting the XSX, but I wanna play Planet Coaster tonight/tomorrow while I wait. But I want the XSX version, and this question applies to the other XSX games.

With play anywhere, do I need to download different versions for the XSX editions? Like will I need to redownload Planet Coaster or Gears 5, for example, or will they auto launch the XSX versions when I transfer them over?

They'll download an update before launching on Series X I believe.

Curious to know if there's been any games that have been on Game Pass and then come back on after being removed for a period of time?

Yeah, City Skylines had that happen. I think The Division did too, before it was on GWG. I want to say there were others but can't think of them off the top of my head.

Listing of all the games currently on GamePass and then EA Access certainly drives home how great a deal GamePass is. I have subscribed for 3-years and I was already onboard the GamePass Train, but the scope of that game list really is astounding. Really, is it even legal?!

It's definitely possible. It's just going to take a developer to come along and really spend the time to really make use of it as a demo of sorts.

MS should pay someone to do it.

Hey guys! What games are on gamepass with 4 player local multiplayer? I'm spending a week vacation and we have an Xbox and right now all we can play is Halo. Nothing else has 4 player splitscreen or anything similar.

Please give me recommendations, we got GP Ultimate for a month.

Gears of War 3 has a 4 player co-op campaign and it's every bit as glorious as it sounds
