So my son just ran in here all excited saying he just downloaded the Ark Genesis part 1 and season pass. I knew that the other expansions were just added but not Genesis. I double checked and downloaded it. Crazy. Just FYI for everyone.

Usually it's around two weeks when new announcements happen regarding added and removed games. Removed games can be seen every two weeks in the mobile app. Sometimes there's a random announcement about games coming or other bonuses but usually it's a Tuesday or Thursday every couple weeks in the Xbox wire blog and/or on Twitter. You'll always find the news in this thread too.
New games generally drop every Thursday on Game Pass but sometimes you'll get them on other days (usually if it ties in with the games actual release date). Thursday each week is pretty much Game Pass day though.

They'll do two main announcements each month where they announce the games for the the next two weeks. So, for example, when you see the upcoming 'Coming soon to Xbox Game Pass' post, it won't be all the games for December, it'll be the games for the next two weeks.

They always stealth drop things in between too. Basically get your body ready for just a constant stream of new games. To answer the question - it's not like PS Now/Plus/GWG where you get one drop of games a month. It's a constant stream, generally every Thursday but often in between too.
Awesome, thanks guys!

Are the Dragon Age games (Origins/2/Inquisition) their complete versions or simply the base games without the DLCs?

Unto The End is coming on 12/09, and is apparently a Day 1 Game Pass title. So that's cool.



I'm assuming we probably won't hear about any other upcoming Game Pass additions until next week due to the holiday

Some games you came around to at the wrong time. Wanted to try Mutant Yer Zero before it leaves Game Pass. I'm sure it's a fine title, but I've played Gears Tactics and Wasteland 3 recently and just cannot get hooked into this type of scenario at the moment.

Yeah, I tried to get back to it once I saw it was leaving, but those other 2 titles are providing me with all I want from this genre.

Oh are we talking JUST Game Pass and not Game Pass Ultimate? Where did you hear it's being phased out? Is that true for Game Pass on PC as well?

I'm can't remember where I read it originally but it coincides with how hard it was to find 3 years worth to top up of Game Pass before doing the upgrade to Ultimate

Gears 5 - The New Day Reveal Trailer

It's a New Day, yes it is! Who wants a side of lancer's with their bowl of Booty O's? The New Day Pack is Now Available for Free With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Perks. Claim your Perks by going to your Perks gallery on your Xbox console or Xbox App on Windows 10 PC
Is anyone having issues redeeming the New Day pack? When I press 'Get' on the Xbox store it says I have the content, but then the button switches back to 'Get' instead of Queued/Installed, and nothing downloads. The Windows store when I press Get just refreshes the page. Same with the website.

Yup I bought today. It's a digital-only code, weird how you don't see it. Maybe because I bought Game Pass Ultimate?

this is what I see:

Finished Wandersong today. Was ok. More of a read all the dialogue and follow the story thing than a music / puzzle game.

I don't think Psychonauts has ever been on GP.
Pretty sure it has never been on Game Pass. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it does soon with the sequel next year.

I have a vivid memory that I read somewhere that Psychonauts was on GamePass. Looks like I was wrong. lol
I wanna play it, but knowing that Double Fine is part of Xbox Game Studios makes me wanna wait for it to be included on GP instead of buying the game. Same with Bethesda titles.

Yeah, I've been waiting for it to either hit Game Pass or Games with Gold so I could play it.

and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom from my backlog.

Oh I got Monster Boy on a sale earlier this year and I loved it! Did almost all of the content too, awesome game. Now I see there's Wonder Boy the Dragon's Trap on sale too and I'm just wondering if I should buy it or if I should buy it just now. Even if it's an older game remade by different people than Monster Boy.

Thoughts?

Sorry for the off topic but game pass sometimes brings the wrong games. 😛

Did you people played Jedi: Fallen Order? It's really great. I thought it was going to play like a Uncharted game, but it plays like Uncharted + Dark Souls + Metroid Prime. Loved exploring the scenarios and getting all the power ups. Game looks great as well. Should look even greater on XSX (played it on XSS).

Yeah! My runner-up for personal GOTY 2019. I played it on a base PS4, so I'm looking forward to a pending replay.

Have you launched Gears 5? I had the same but when I opened Gears the pack was unlocked. Otherwise you can try redeeming the pack in game.

Having a lot of fun with SSX and Zumas Revenge, theyre EA Play but still great additions to the library.

SSX really nailed the controls, just love that right stick flip to jump. Feels so good cruising down the mountain side.

Somehow only started playing The Witcher 3 since getting my Series X on launch day and loving it. Question is, I want to get the expansions now and the GOTY edition on sale for £10. I heard there's some issue with transferring achievements from the base game to the GOTY edition, is that correct? Is it better to buy the expansions separately?

The GOTY Edition of Witcher 3 is a completely different version from the Vanilla Witcher 3 version on Game Pass... so if you want to transfer progress you HAVE to buy the DLC separately... if you don't mind starting again then you can buy the GOTY edition. It's been like that for a long time, maybe they fix it for the nextgen update? I don't think so.

Hell yeah, SSX is so damn good. Love that they brought it back and hope EA returns to it at some point in the future.
