Do you have to open each game to grab the credits? I wish you can claim them from somewhere else. I might need to install some of the older games.

When you redeem the rewards on the site you receive a message ingame with the credits.
If you launch the game a few months later, you'll have to accept several messages to get your credits.

You don't need to launch every game each week after redeeming.

I'm tier 12 and I get 425 000 credits per week, I guess I have a few millions waiting in FM6 and FH2 ^^

I'm so pumped to pick this up tonight after work. With GCU and a $10 reward cert I had, I was able to get this for $70.

For whatever reason I preordered the digital standard edition thinking it had early access. Of course it doesn't so I went to try and cancel my preorder and get the Ultimate edition and after spending half an hour with customer support I learn that I'm shit out of luck. The Microsoft store does not let you cancel digital preorders, support can't even do it for you. Neat.

I wouldn't agree with people saying this is the best graphic they've ever seen, but what I will say is that this is the most photo realistic world in video games that I have ever seen.

Specially in winter, there is something on it, no matter where you look, you really forget that this is a video game and you think this is a real environment for a few moments. This is VR without VR cause some places, houses, trees with snow, look so realistic, you can almost feel like that's a 100% real place you're looking at, it's fucking with your mind, really impressive.

strange. I was in the same position with Gears 4 and wanted to "upgrade" to an Ultimate edition to play early so when I went to talk to support they were like "Of course you can cancel your preorder!" The only problem with support I have is that it takes them forever to "find" your order, even if I offer to give them an order number, they'll be like I gotta find it in the system.
I was chatting with them waiting for them to square it away far too long when refunding Gears 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider (Win 10 version).

You should have it if you have pre-ordered a digital game that hasn't been released yet.

There are instructions on their support site for doing it but the option to cancel simply isn't there for me. The CSR I talked to couldn't do it either and told me it couldn't be cancelled until it had released.

Maybe its not in pre-order state anymore. I just went to check to see if I could cancel AC: Odyssey but I was charged for it today, so its no longer "pre-Ordered"

Edit: Checked my Anthem pre-order in Order history. I have the option to cancel it

Sorry if this question has been asked already, but did I need to pre-order this to play today? If I go home after work today and purchase the Ultimate Edition will I be able to start playing?

Yeah, it's hard to explain. When you drive, it looks and runs incredible, but when you just stand still and look around sometimes, you really see that they had limitations and they tricked a lot to make it look incredible and the magic goes away for a few moments, when you see 2D branches, blurry floor textures, kinda out of place rocks, even with 1080p super sampling a lot of aliasing and stuff, but in motion, when you drive around, even slowly, it has such a realistic vibe that you can't really explain and you don't find this look anywhere else.

The ultimate edition gives you early access regardless if you have pre-ordered or not, so you will be able to play as soon as you have bought and downloaded yes.

Have you made it through Spring and onto the Horizon Roster yet? Once you've done that you'll see them pop up every hour on the hour.

I'm guessing JeffG is right and it's no longer in the pre-order state but not released yet so it's in some weird limbo. Whatever, it's one weekend, I'll live.

The seasons are fucking nuts.
I know this is nothing new as PG themselves said it, but to actually see it with my own eyes -- the actual sunlight looks different depending on the sesaon because of how the sun rays hit the earth, and to see that portrayed so well in a game, it's amazing. You can look at a sunny autumn day in the game and it doesn't just look like autumn because of the orange leaves, but because the lighting just screams autumn.
And of course there's winter which legit makes the entire map look and feel different. It's like having an entirely new map available to play.
There were some concerns about the seasons being a "gimmick" but playing the first few hours of the game should easily dispel that. It's a ridiculously awesome forward thinking feature.

My only concern is that when I've stopped playing weekly and just come back occasionally I'm going to end up never getting to play whatever season(s) end up my favorite.

Anna Yvette's 'Shooting Star' is an awesome song.

I see it released today as well as her promoting the game on Facebook. Was this made for the game specifically or just released to coincide?

The SSAO is incredible! It's the same method TLOU and Splinter Cell Conviction uses. It's like a volumetric effect that creates amazing results. I had put my car on the side of a building in the shade and as the front right side of my car approached the wall, you can see the light/shading change around the whole scene looked really well. And it's not like a screen effect like other SSAO that disappears when you turn the camera

Question: If I buy the Ultimate edition, those it come with separate codes for all extras?

I really want to play this game, but as I am not super into racers I was telling myself to wait until gamepass gets it. But I want a game and it's p[ay day lol.

So if I were to buy the ultimate edition from Best Buy(GCU) would it come with the code vouchers for all extras that I could then still use with the gamepass version if I sell my copy?

So instead of the endless hypebotting has anybody found any flaws/criticisms of the game yet? How are the houses and how much variety is there to avatar customisation? Is the structure better than FH3 or is it still kind of aimless?
