Void Bastards and Outer Wilds look like two really great games. Can't wait to sink a few hours into both of them.

Played Metal Gear Survive during the week with my brother. Muck.

Void bastards is pretty good. Outer wilds I really want to like but...don't know.

I actually got really hooked up on Black desert online. 50h+ and really loving it. Finally an MMORPG that I can play solo and it's sandbox type too. Even spent 18eu on it already. Works very well on console with controller too.

Just an FYI for everyone, Microsoft announced a PC version of Gamepass, and the rumour is that it'll be included in Gamepass Ultimate.

Enjoying Monster Hunter World a lot more than I thought I would. Even picked up MH Generations Ultimate on the Switch for some handheld Monster Slaying.

Between that, dabbling in a bit of Forza Horizon 4 and finishing Hellblade last week I'm getting great use out of Game Pass at the moment

I actually don't even check weekly sales anymore. Just keeping an eye if any promotion to extend game pass.
Game pass will be the reason why I might stick to Xbox next generation completely.

Especially if GPU includes Win 10.
Free games on Xbox and PC until nearly 2022 for me! :eek:

I nearly bought shenmue from argos so I'm happy with that.

A couple of those are play anywhere titles. Ramping up for the pc launch I'd say.

This seems to be the PC list but not clear how many of these will be coming to Xbox GP. The 20 titles mentioned above are on it. Talks of Metro Exodus on the PC version too.

Seen that on a couple of the games announced but downloaded them on Xbox no issues

Not sure I'm reading this correctly but word is you can convert the existing time left on your gold sub to an ultimate (game pass and gold combined) one for €1 as part of a new offer

Guess we'll see later.

Yup that's exactly how it works. Paid up for 2 years now.

It will stack your subs together too, so if you have 6 months gold left and 6 months game pass that equates to one year of ultimate.

Its saying I can upgrade but it says its €1 for the first month and then €13 every month thereafter.

Edit: I see it wont take the next payment until my combined subs is due to expire. Very good. A few free years of Game Pass.

After your ultimate expires, ie. Your live months and pass months are added plus a free month to get your ultimate expiration. Then you are subbed monthly at 13

My Live runs out next month, what do I do to avail of this offer? Renew Live, then visit above link and buy a month's Ultimate?

Yes exactly. Check the extend live option on your console before you go hunting on cdkeys or anywhere first though, some people have supposedly had the option to renew for a year for 25 euro.

Can't install any of the games, get a blocker cursor on the install button. I'm guessing this is intended and it will come active when it is officially announced on E3?

Age of Empires and Gears Tactics coming soon to PC btw :-)

It's already live and working for me. https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/xbox-beta/9mv0b5hzvk9z?SilentAuth=1&activetab=pivot%3Aoverviewtab

The new app is infinitely better than the old windows store too.

Looks to be live anyway

Ah I see what's going on, I already own it on the Xbox so I have to click the elipses and install on my devices. But even doing that my PC ain't showing up...

Same thing with the Xbox Beta app. Feck it, what's going on here?!

OK thanks, Hellblade works but seems not all games listed are ready yet. Or maybe the lists are wrong. Was specifically trying Mutant Year Zero and Surviving Mars. Neither can be installed on PC.

Max Mafioso

Ok so I just got the Ultimate Game Pass for €1 deal which has extended it and Xbox Gold to January 2022.
I just used a code I had for 3 Months of Xbox Live, it was from that deal on Amazon a while back where you got 2 3-Month codes and Apex Legends Money code, the Ultimate Game Pass was also extended by 3 months

Both of those installed for me no problem They also require Windows Update 1903 I think. Also, does your Xbox app look like this?

I have the same problem, I am on Windows 10 Enterprise

Just wondering if there is a cross save feature for games on gamepass between pc and xbox.

Play forza on pc then go on xbox and continue the same progress and earn progress towards achievements and vice versa.

Would be a nice feature.

If it's a "Play Anywhere" game like Forza or Gears of War 4 for example I'm pretty sure your progress will carry over.

Yes it does, I regularly switch between console and PC on Forza. Progress is seamless.

Good question though regarding non play anywhere titles...

So basically you go out and buy a few years of Live and add it to your account. What then? Sorry, I’m dense today.

Then pay the euro to upgrade it to Ultimate. It should work to a max of 3 years.

Hurrache

Sorry lads, I'm a bit confused myself.

I have a month left of my current gamespass, I have a 3 month code I haven't added yet. If I add the additional 3 month code, pay for a year for Xbox Live and then use the €1 Ultimate thingy, what do I end up with?

maximoose

Either 12 or 15 months of Game Pass Ultimate, not entirely sure! :pac:


I upgraded to Ultimate yesterday, but now the Game Pass android app isn't recognising my game pass sub

I would think 16 months based on what I got.

I had 6 months gold left and an unused code for 6 months game pass. I got a year of Gold off cdkeys and redeemed the 6 month code for game pass.

So I had 18 months gold and 6 months game pass active at this point, when I did the upgrade that turned into 2 years Ultimate.

About 17 months of GPU. 1 month Gold + 3 months Gold + 12 months Gold + 1 month GPU.

Just both 2 years of gold on cdkey for €89 and €1 for ultimate and now have the ultimate pass until June 10th 2022 :-) , Thanks to the boardsie that first posted about this :-)

Is it not 1 euro for one month only? What about next month?

If you have Live (or GamePass) now that expires on the 31/12/2021 for example and you avail of the €1 GamePass Ultimate offer your current subscriptions will convert to Ultimate and add an extra month.

You'll now have Ultimate that expires 31/01/2022 that gives you access to Live, GamePass on Xbox and GamePass on PC.

When purchasing it did say 1 month and then £10.99 would kick in on next month but my subscription status now says next payment to be in 01/04/2020 so looks good to me!

So best off extending Gold again prior to expiring and then picking up the 1 offer right now?

No reoccurring charges by the sounds of it!
