Xbox Game Pass

Just spotted on techradar that this offer ends tonigh, maybe it’s already been mentioned.

https://www.techradar.com/news/get-xbox-game-pass-for-dollar1-pound1-until-2022-with-this-incredible-deal-hack




It's worth mentioning here that this deal is meant to be running throughout the whole time E3 is on, which ends on Thursday 13 June, 2019. Keep in mind that, once your pre-paid subscription ends, this will then roll into an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, so you may want to set a reminder to cancel the pricier subscription at that point.

Well I completely effed up!

I cancelled my GPU sub to Oct 19 about 10pm on my account on my phone.
I was refreshing my Xbox dashboard at the same time to see that the 1euro upgrade offer was still there.
Bought two years of XBL (26 months) and then went though the upgrade process.

It was 12.99...

"Oh well, I missed the 1euro offer. I guess 12.99 is still grand for 26 months of GPU."

No.

I lost my 26 months and was converted to monthly GPU. Next charge due 12/07/19.

I nearly had a heart attack.

When I picked myself up off the ground, stopped throwing a toddler tantrum, and came to my senses, I got onto Xbox email support and told them what had happened.

"No problem sir, I understand your concern, bear with me and I'll see if I can help.....
Ok, I fixed that there for you. Please check your subscriptions on your Xbox now. You should have Game Pass Ultimate good until 12/09/21."

Glory be.....

It would have served me right. Thick!!! Ha ha

Cheers! The relief was immense!

I also corrected my post to fix my terrible maths. It was actually 26 months (and 27 months in the end)

I traded dying light when I finished all the achievements, forgetting I'd got the season pass free by buying it on amazon that time. So might be worth another look.

Strong pattern now of games popping up shortly before its sequel is due to launch.

Disappointing that there's no cross save between PC and Xbox. Sat down to play mutant year zero on the xbox and there is no progress from my PC games despite it having synced something while it was loading, presume it was just the achievements.

Damn...I've lost my progression on PC :-( Coincidence that it happened when I logged into the game on Xbox?!

Yep just confirmed this, opening the game on Xbox will erase your progress on PC.

Some upcoming game for Game Pass next week.

Interesting they've new branding for console and PC.

Anyone know if they have mentioned anything about cross save becoming standard and not just for play anywhere titles?

I know it's in beta so I'm assuming/hoping its something that's in the pipeline.

How do you mean? They already announced GPU for PC at E3 and it is currently in Beta.

Its nothing new.

I'm asking about cross save. Progression is separate on PC and Console and in at least one instance (Mutant Year Zero) it actually overwrites your progression.

I'm playing Metro Exodus and I'm in my element! I loved the first two and played the Reduxs back to back before xmas in anticipation for it.

So glad I didn't pay for it. Came very close a number of occasions but between one thing or another, didn't pull the trigger.

I can't believe I'm playing it for "free" so soon after its release.

Such an amazing service!!!

Don't know Mr G, wasn't even aware they were trialling cross save outside the play anywhere environment, as you say.

For anything outside that environment, I would assume separate instances of saving for each platform.

It suck that your progression was overwritten on that one game. Was there any on screen warnings to this affect?

Is the shooting still 'off' in it? I played it at launch and couldn't hit ****. It's got a few very good linear sections but overall I was very let down by it compared to the previous titles.

In other news I see hotline miami is there for pc!!!!! Loved that on PS4. Music is excellent in it.

Found it very clunky too and was a big fan of 1 & 2

Ok, so it's not just me??? Yes, in that case, it's still off.

And as sweetie said, clunky.

However, I'm quite forgiving (for the moment) because I loved the other two so much and I'm enjoying the change of pace/scenery

Enjoying Myero Exodus as well on PC game pass. Would never have bought it so very happy. Aiming seems fine on PC, ad mainly a console player using a mouse to aim feels soooooo easy.

Btw, you need to clean your weapon in the game. A dirty weapon affects its performance.

Download speeds on PC compared to Xbox for games is atrocious.

I got a notification on the phone that Goat Stimulator was available now on GP.

I thought it was already on GP?

P.S. there's no type in the first line!

Fingleberries

Was it not a notification that Goat Simulator PC is now in Game Pass?

marcbrophy

No it was for Xbox One.

Now that I think more about it, it might have been free with Gold at some point!

Is the game pass ultimate $1 deal a one time use or can I buy another gold sub now and convert it for another $1?

Buy the gold sub then convert, you can use the codes after but the conversion rate is lousy.

Was going to pick up Blazing Chrome on the Switch but might just stick to the Game Pass version so!

Have heard good things about Timespinner too.

gmg678

so I did the switch to GPU and have it till 2022.

I got a 12mth sub gift card for it and I am wondering can I enter it or do I need to wait till next year.

You'll need to wait. You can only have a maximum of 36 months Gold/GPU subscription.

Won't accept if it accrues your sub further than 3 years.

Playing Void Bastards on and off the last few weeks. Oddly enjoyable despite being fairly repetitive. The comic book- style graphics are excellent.

Gears 5 tech test is out, available on game pass and pre orders.

Seriously, I feel like I'm ripping them off subscribing to this thing. They're obviously making money from it, but the amount of games I buy has plummeted since I subscribed.

I think Dmc5 is console only. Hasn't been added yet anyway.

I find that odd though. I thought gamepass was supposed to be even across platforms if a title existed for both systems?
