Can't find anything about Windows 10 right now. Bummer.
Would be a great opportunity for MS to keep pc players with Gamepass around a bit longer.

Yep will try cities and robocraft - wanted to play that fmv game for a while...will be good fun for an evening
I'm pretty lukewarm on this lineup. I'll probably check out Cities Skylines, otherwise there isn't much for me here.
I do think that Xbox is missing a bit of an opportunity to "wow" all of the new Game Pass subscribers who hopped on as trial for Sea of Thieves. No doubt they just saw a huge influx or trials go live and, if I were in charge, I'd want to make sure that all of those people see some awesome games join the lineup right afterward so they can say, "Wow, this is going to be so worth it." Forza Horizon 3 would have been a great addition, for example.
Either way, I'm subbed and plan to stay subbed; I just think it's strange that Xbox didn't take this chance to hook that two-week trial crowd.

The game is supposed to be Play Anywhere, I knew I remembered it from somewhere. Anyone got an idea if this is still the plan?

Really good month.
Kingdom New Lands is GREAT, needs it's own thread

What a shitty month, definitely the worst since I got my X. I really thought Microsoft was going to be more aggressive with this now. I thought we might at least have got a big first party game. Nothing interests me there :(
Edit: isn't Robocraft still in Early Access?

What game are you talking about? I haven't seen
Edit: Oh, Robocraft. No. This game was specifically developed for Xbox One. The regular game "Robocraft" on PC (steam) is different
Double edit: Their website and announcement post both say coming to XB1 and Windows 10, so I guess so?
Triple edit (get it together Judge):
Their release date announcement on their site today says coming April 11 exclusively to XB1 https://robocraftinfinity.com/en/news/release_date/

The one odd thing about this month is I thought for sure we'd get the MS 1st party games that have not hit Gamepass yet dripped in every month at least.
I 100% agree. I think they should have added Forza Horizon 3. Then have State of Decay 2. Then Quantum Break. Then Crackdown 3. Then Ryse/Ori? Forza Horizon 4?
Yeah, it's weird. I guess Play Anywhere be at a later date then. Was interested to try it out, but nevermind.
My point is that none of those games would entice 99% of gamers to sign up. So it's a weak line up that needed a headliner. Cities Skylines isn't it.
I'll subscribe when Robocraft comes out. I've been interested. I still need to play cities skylines, rime and maybe I'll start mad max and see how I like it
I wish I could play these games. I'm awful at city building, I have no desire to do it because I'm awful.
You don't like any of the 150 games? Even I (I dislike most games :') ) don't feel that way.
Now I'm even more sad if it doesn't launch as a Play Anywhere game..
It's hard to explain. It's not that I don't like any of them necessarily, I guess I'm just looking to scratch a certain gaming itch and nothing on the list is doing it for me. I'm really looking for something to suck me in. And no, I have not tried them all, but those I have downloaded I fell off of quick.
What type of games do you normally like? Maybe people in here could help you find a game to scratch your gaming itch. ;)
Yeah, it's strictly a MP game. The building is fun and the matches are quick. You get new parts at a decent rate. No microtransactions.
I actually don't understand why MS has not added a single Play Anywhere game this month. I know GP hasn't launched on W10 yet, officially. But this would be a way to keep people subbed.
5 million on Xbox One? I'm going to guess that 80% of those sales are on PC with the remainder on consoles.
Plus you can see it yourself here that most people are disappointed and they are already subscribed to Game Pass like myself.
The issue is that games are added every month or so. It's not like Netflix where movies and TV shows are added almost daily. So when you see an update like this with nothing of personal interest it's like you're waiting another month to possibly be dissapointed again.
Well, to be fair. Robocraft doesn't come to Gamepass untill release. And with more and more games releasing on gamepass you'll see a more steady flow of games.
And I understand the dissapointment. If you compare it with last month, that is.
As I said in the other thread, this is a solid month. No groundbreaking AAAs but a lot interesting small-to-medium-sized projects, including Portal Knights and Cities. The RoboCraft situation is one I'd love to see more and more on Game Pass: they have this small multiplayer title that may or may not gain enough traction, and thus the online could be dead in a matter of days. By throwing it on Game Pass you might lose out money in the off chance it becomes a worldwide phenomenon, but on the other hand you are getting the money upfront and you can afford a flop - and even more importantly, the game's online population should be healthy if the game's good. In a competitive setting like today, with games like PUBG, Fortnite, Call Of Duty, FIFA, GTA V, Siege, Rocket League, Battlefield, Battlefront, Roblox, Minecraft, etc. gobbling up a huge percentage of the playerbase and their free time, it's always hard to make a hit with an unproven paid product. As how that went for Deformers, for example, gave was dead on launch week basically. This is a good way to launch your game.
Not really. March releases were announced on february 26th.
Shitty month for me too.
Not that all the games are shitty, but that's just not a good selection.
Edit: It's currently in preview, but it will launch straight to gamepass.
So, it's nice that there's a new game launching right away, and it's a bummer that the game sucks XD

Until last week it was, and it's really really really bad XD

I enjoy mostly games that lean towards sim or have deep systems, especially those with RPG elements, but also enjoy rogue-likes and challenging platformers that have great and unique art styles.
