Weird West, Norco and Tunic are three legit 2022 GOTY contenders for me and I barely have the time to finish them. Certainly haven't had time to put any serious hours into the AAA stuff like Guardians, MLB or Life is Strange yet.
2022 for Game Pass has been ridiculous so far.
T
Total War Warhammer 3 was also a big get, altough the launch has not been stellar.
There are people who are more interested in what is coming to Game Pass over playing anything on Game Pass. I honestly think there are some people who post in here who don't even play the games at all tbh.
Not much in the drop for me and funny enough I don't care about that lmao. More time to catch up on other stuff
Also, I find it interesting that Research and Destroy is another Spike Chunsoft game. I wonder how big the Game Pass deal they clearly got was, and if maybe AI: Somnium Nirvana will come to Game Pass day one?

Yeah I can't complain at all. There is a bunch of stuff I need to play in GP. Currently playing GotG.
Stalker 2 was never going to drop in this window even before the Ukraine situation. That original April date was just a pie in the sky thing that was either just some really wishful thinking or something they came up for investors. The December delay date was closer to any reality and even that was up in the air pre-Ukraine.
there's definitely a bunch of people here that care more about news and pr than playing the actual games
Yes I understand the implications and hindsight is wonderful.
My point remains it is hard to just move something as big into its spot once it was delayed from April, even if it was never going to hit internally, it did have a date attached as April 28th which they probably planned around for other deals.
The same thing will happen with planning around Starfield now, and if that gets delayed they won't be able to magically replace something with the same level of excitement necessaryily dor the same time frame etc
I doubt MS thought that April date was realistic either, so I imagine it didn't have any impact on anything one way or another. In any kind of service like this, not every week is going to have some big game(s) to drop. It happens
I think we are agreeing 👍 I don't think every month needs high profile games
Exactly.
There are over 440 console games currently on Game Pass. If you've already played every single one of those that interests you in any way, then either you have very specific standards, or you have an impressive amount of spare time on your hands.
nothing for me here but i'm surprised how many seem to think game pass has been on a weak run, this year has been pretty insane for me so far. and with Elden Ring taking up most of my march i'm pretty behind so i'm actually very welcoming of a few slow weeks. i'd be ok if may was weak for me too, although i already know i'll be playing Trek to Yomi
Interested in finally playing Bugsnax since there's achievements now. Had so much in the backlog that the PS5 version never made it to the top of the heap. This will when it's leaving the service. I wonder if 7 Days to Die on console has been improved much. I remember the original release on console was terrible. I would hope the team has optimized better since then. Can't imagine there's a Series update though. Turnip Boy feels like a nice Rain on Your Parade style short game. Never heard of Research and Destroy so I'll see if that's any good.
I'll echo the others that don't know what the fuck some of y'all are talking about with slow months. They've been doling out games from so many genres.

Glad I'm not the only one noticing a dip this year. I defo wouldn't be paying £12 a month for that lineup. Gladly I don't have to but this is the entry price for GP so I've still got to look at the value against that.
SpartyCrunch I'm on the PC Insider Program for the Xbox app and I'm having issues with Cloud streaming and my XSX input. Version 2204.1001.3.0
My xbox controller is having issues navigating around the app (but has no problems in-game NATIVE apps via Steam or Xbox app), or navigating the overlay when the Nexus button is pressed).
When it comes to Cloud Streaming, I'm trying to play LIS:TC to pick up where I left off and it launches fine the first time, but doesn't take my controller inputs. Then, if I toggle fullscreen it turns the screen black and never returns. I can still hear the audio playing. If I quit and reconnect the game never launches from the starship loading screen. Other games like Memoir Blue will launch fine and then LIS will launch. Almost like a refresh.
I've submit some feedback prompts in-menu and via the hub, so hopefully that provided some diagnostics + basic screenshots.

- "Game Pass" tab navigates fine, other than not being able to move the top banner pictures side to side.
- "My Library" is completely non-functional with the controller navigation.
- "Cloud Gaming" is also non-functional.
- "Community" only navigates around "Top Game Pass games to play with friends"
- "Store" works fine.

Everybody worried by and trying to play the newest games added... Meanwhile... I'm still going through games I installed ages ago.
And I was lucky to install Gorogoa for a day like today. You weren't kidding, it really is something special. Perfect length too for that kind of game/mechanics. Finished all in two sittings today, including the extra.
I also had preloaded Far: changing tides when it was available, thinking it launched before Elden Ring. But I ended up starting it on Sunday and finished it today, too. Also a special game, to some other degree trough and for different reasons. I enjoyed it even if I didn't play Lone sails. It seemed a bit long though at some moments but I didn't entirely mind the pause moments or the combustible scavenging. Games like this one are appreciated once in a while, just moody with not much to do or, rather, worry about.
Sometimes I play things like these when I don't really know what to start, and tomorrow I'll have to decide, even if it's just to start watching something on streaming tv. I've installed Yakuza 4, FF13, Guardians of the Galaxy, Pillars of Eternity, ME Legendary Edition, Lost in Random... So much that I don't know where to start. There are things to uninstall, too.
Some advice? I think the game that will probably leave first is either FF13 or Y4.

Scarlet Nexus is fantastic, it's maybe 20 to 30 hours per scenario and there are two scenarios in the game.
The game also has a great range of difficulty options including the ability to become invincible so you cannot die at all, if you want to do that.
It's a really cool idea, but I had a fucker of a time with the demo, something about the controls I found really difficult to grapple with. I'll give the main release a shot to see if they've polished it up at all, but it might just not be for me.
AI Somnium Files playthrough update.
Just cleared Date's somnium as Mizuki. MY FEELINGS! ALL OF THE FEELINGS! Best Somnium by far and you know what that really could have been the end of the game and I'd be satisfied. But other routes must be done and there are still mysteries left.
F1 2021 is on Game Pass only because it's on EA Play. But it never released on EA Play on Origin/EA Desktop (but it did on Steam's EA Play). Why? Not sure, but that's the question we should be asking.
Thanks for the response.
The fragmentation on PC with all these different store fronts, exclusivity deals etc is irritating at times.
Ok I'm gonna get wild with my AI Somnium Files theories now.
Holy shit a 999 reference!
And yet another thing I'm reminded that adds to my theory.
It did occur to me the possibility that
I'm finally able to continue on from the Iris timeline from earlier that ended with finding Iris's dead frozen body. I have just discovered that this woman is not actually Iris and has been frozen for at least 10 years!
Alright here's my thoughts. Obviously so killed this woman all those years ago. She had just given birth when she died. I think........I think this woman is the mother of...... Mizuki. Hear me out. Time doesn't quite match but it says frozen for AT LEAST 10 years not 10 exactly. So could be more and could still match Mizuki's age. So is likely the father of this woman's child and possibly the motive for the murder. In another timeline where Date and Mizuki kill So, So strangely does utter something along the lines of father which didn't make much sense at the time. Perhaps he was referring to being Mizuki's father.
Now lets talk Shoko. An abusive mother to Mizuki. But why? As Renju said earlier he thought a mother would love a daughter unconditionally. Perhaps true. But Shoko isn't actually her mother is she? Shoko saw Mizuki as a burden. But why? Perhaps because the burden of taking care of Mizuki, a child she never gave birth to or wanted, really was too much and was, to her, a burden. Renju isn't much better. Cared more about his work than his "daughter". Probably not his daughter either.
Could be completely off base we'll see. But I think that's it. Mizuki is So and this dead woman's daughter. This also gives a motive for Shoko and Renju's murders. To stop the truth getting out.

I first saw this dead body in Mizuki's somnium. That is a repressed memory from when Mizuki was born. Mizuki had to have seen that body at some point there's no other explanation.
It did occur to me the possibility that
it could also be Iris's real mother obviously because of the looks. But the other clues fit Mizuki more. Now it seems the game is leaning towards Iris.

Minecraft Dungeons is such a good game on mobile Xcloud. I'm not a big mobile gamer, so I can't speak to the games available, but this is how I always imagined mobile gaming being like.
If someone at Xbox sees this, Crusader Kings 3 with touch controls. I beg you.

Because Codemaster didn't make a Microsoft store version of the game. Steam, Epic & Origin/EA are Win32 app stores. Microsoft store is a UWP store.
Microsoft has announced support for win32 app in the microsoft store but it still on preview & there's a wait list for approval.
