Both of these are Available also. Project Winter seems Interesting.

The Touryst is pretty fun. It reminds me of those old flash games I played on the internet and on the Cartoon Networks website. Anything platforming-related absolutely sucks though.
Currently thinking about what my next game will be. After Superhot, Nightcall, Donut County and now The Touryst I think I'm ready to play something a bit meatier again. Probably going to bite the bullet and play Control. If we were getting the Ultimate edition as well we probably would've known by now or it's going to be in a couple of months' time.

I really want to try The Falconeer but...
This is my last chance to play Ninja Gaiden II. I'm going all in!
Holy moly Desperados 3 has me hooked. I grew up on Commandos 2 so have always enjoyed the genre. I liked Shadow Tactics but never finished it, but this... this has me good.
Isabelle is AMAZING
If you are looking for a game like Among Us to play with a group of friends then Project Winter is one to try. It just released on Game Pass for console and PC (today actually!). The XboxEra crew got together and played it and we've made a little video review. :)
Also, installing The Falconeer now. Not sure if it's for me but I love the style Tomas Sala went with.
Just remember that you will lose your save if you ever decide to switch to the Ultimate Edition.
but on the flipside at any time you can switch on god mode, one hit kills etc, if you want to make any replays that much quicker/easier.
I was not even thinking of downloading Project Winter but that video review SuikerBrood linked to has changed my mind. Looks like a fun game.
Nooo, Ninja Gaiden II is leaving!
Damn, I think I'll have to buy it now.
I wanted to like Shadow Tactics but I found it to be frustrating to play on controller, to say the least.
I downloaded D3 but I'm worried I'm gonna bounce off it like I did with Shadow Tactics.

The controls are fine for me. Doing things super quickly and slickly will take some practice, however. But pulling off a combo of kills and surfing viewcones is so much fun!
I just watched a speedrunner and HOLY SHIT.
Is it an OG 360? It's not difficult to pop the tray open even without power.
I think i'm going to give up Cyber Shadow at this point, got to Chapter 8 and decided to backtrack a bit for upgrades and MAN, the OHKO spikes are just too much. They really ought to add more i-frames or some spike shield power-up. Was liking it otherwise too and I didn't have ANY nostalgia for Ninja Gaiden.
I got around to starting Control via PC Gamepass tonight, and it seems super cool, but it keeps crashing. I've had 2 hard locks and then crash to desktop within half an hour. I'm seeing a few tweets and Reddit posts about it, but most are a couple of weeks old with no fixes. Anyone else had this issue and know a fix? 1080ti and an 8600k, game runs perfectly smoothly until the crashes occur (apart from some textures loading in slowly, like paintings)
The Medium, Gears 5, Desperados, Forza and just a few others really.
Did Ninja Gaiden Black ever do GWG? I played it a bit back when it was on Game Pass.
I'd love Oblivion at 60 fps and 4k :D I don't see many games that have been patched to higher framerates yet, or am I wrong? I remember reading that it would be possible to do in older games.
none have been, at least using the technique that microsoft showed off a while back. i think it'll be announced at some event with a bunch of games.
or it might be really difficult to pull off and quietly forgotten about.
I hope the first is the correct answer

yeah i've no evidence to suggest it'll be dropped, especially as they already went public with an example, just the pessimist in me i guess!
Was wasteland 3's issues, particularly loading times, addressed on PC yet? Guess I am going to give that another shot.
No, but Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge was a GWG game. I'd love to see NG2 go the same way because it's weirdly expensive to buy digitally in my region and I'd like to get rid of my physical copy.
The sale still isn't complete and probably won't be until March at the earliest. I doubt we'll see the Bethesda games before that because it could be seen as Microsoft running a company they don't own yet.
Dishonored 2 was set to leave and never left because of it and they added eternal and skyrim.
I guess not sooner than early April/late March, assuming at early March the sale is completely done and fulfilled.
I'm in no hurry though and I wish they add some enhancements for some games over time. Is for example The Evil Within playable at 60 fps in any console? The second one was unlocked at least in 1X/Series, right?
These may have been negotiated beforehand, especially Doom and Skyrim. Dishonored I imagine they made a last minute extended deal for some time until the sale is settled and they rework it or make the arrangement obsolete.
I mean, they already had a close relationship between the two companies with numerous games coming to GP. I'm sure Eternal and Skyrim were negotiated in advance of the sale. But if people are expecting all the Bethesda games in one go before the sale completes I tend to doubt it.
Phil's already talked about how he can't speak about the future of Bethesda games because he can't direct a company they don't own yet. The optics of every Bethesda game hitting GP probably aren't great when you're still dealing with regulators.
This is why games on Game Pass don't announce their leaving dates when they get added (as is frequently requested). So many games just get extended out of nowhere. Presumably when pubs/devs see GP actually being a net positive on their performance (see that BMXing game that is always cited).
Can you still do the xbox live gold upgrade path after your current sub has expired?
More Bethesda games joining GamePass right now is an easy and above board method for Microsoft to transfer money into the ZeniMax/Bethesda accounts to facilitate game development. It is not like the deal is not going to close and a little MS money being thrown around may assist with future employee relations.
I can see games like R6S, Ark, Pubg, Black desert, Day Z and the like never leaving no matter what because of that.
They could at least say for how long a game is expected to stay at least or give more than a months notice in advance before they leave, 2 months would be much better for instance.
Hm, it makes sense they already had a deal for those 2 games yeah.
Also I expect some bethesda stuff, not all of it at once, MS is sure to drip feed everyone the games.
Falconeer looks and runs beautifully and even the core gameplay mechanics (flying and shooting) work great for me but I understand jack shit about t he surroundings mechanics. What are the menus? Do the names of people I choose matter? What are chapters? Is it an open world game or missions based? Can I trade and how do I acquire goods.
I failed the tutorial but didn't know why. Also, the tutorial doesn't really register what you do, instead of bombing the second barge I just shot it up and didn't learn how to throw bombs.
but well, it looks stunning and is quite relaxing.
