Not sure, grabbed it through the android app. It didn't say either way.

It could be then. I thought the game it's self was about 25GB but could be wrong. If your near your Xbox just check and see if it's pulling down the episodes.

Has anyone played Hitman through game pass? Am I missing something, there are 3 tutorial missions but for the main game it tells me to go to the store and purchase GOTY edition. Is this all we get with game pass, a few tutorials?

You need to go back into gamepass and download each episode,took me longer than i'd like to admit to figure that out :pac:

It's episodic, and they're all on gamepass. Click the link to go to the store and you should be able to download them from there, or you can go into "Manage Game"and you can download them from there too.

Brilliant, thanks :-) its a great game I'm really enjoying it

Thanks for the advice guys, ended up going with cdkeys for 3 months for about 13 quid.

I'm wondering is it possible to buy codes for live etc. from Turkey through a vpn?

Guys, when you do the trick of buying 6 month game code as present and just emailing it to yourself. Does it stack? Can you after 6 month do same trick again?

Go to the xbox website. Go to the Game Pass page, select buy as gift. Select 6 months for €42. Send to your own email address, use code.

Lads, another question. If I get game pass, will I be able to get Forza 4 on pc too? Or it does not work that way on play everywhere titles?

You'll have it on pc too yeah. That's how I played sea of thieves. Any game pass game that is play anywhere will be on both platforms as far as i know.

Microsoft are now doing a 12 month Game Pass sub. There is currently a 20% discount and you apparently get free digital copies of Forza 7 and Horizon 3 atm, works out at €100.

Still cheaper to gift yourself 2 6 month subs though :pac:

Okay lads, I did whole "buy friend a pass" and used it myself. All cool.
Now does it work with whole game sharing like xbox live? Or I would need to get the pass for daughter too?

It does work on game share however not as simple as the regular game share. You have to go into the store for each game and download it from there.

My preferred method is to download the Xbox game pass app [Android/ios] and sign in with your MS account. You'll be able to install games to her console due to your Home console being her console in the regular game sharing thing.

The app is brilliant, very simple, it only shows game pass games in a catalog, press on the one that you want and press install. If her console is set to auto update games and is set to instant on power settings the games can be downloaded/installed remotely from the app.

Sound, m8. Ill get app. I managed to download Sea of thiefes on her xbox by just loging in to my own account, downloading it and then switching to her account again. Looks like it worked.

Okay, game pass is fantastic. I knew its great idea on paper, but after finally pulling the trigger I can confirm that its a great service.

Did not had much time, but managed to download Sea of Thiefs and State of Decoy 2.

SoT is actually pretty fun, it is such a great crack if you manage to get a randomer who is communicating with you witout the mic and you both manage to do your task. While still learning we both managed to get two quests done. Other two randomers were more of derp people.
Can't wait to play it with my ratty. Will be great crack and will teach here about more complex mechanics in games then br.
State of decoy 2 is actually fun. Never played the series and a little that I played was great crack.

The ability to share it with my daughter makes game pass even better value. We both can play games together, without a need to buy.

I like how you can now choose which device to push the install to instead of just defaulting to your home device.

Yeah it's a great addition. Only problem I have is I've now got so many old xbox's on my list I don't know which 1 is my current main 1 :pac:

I've just renamed my one to help but it's still to be reflected on the site

Same. On my 4th One and have 4 others on the list that I have had my account on. At least I just need to look for the X that isn't my home console.

Xbox marketplace method works on console, but Windows Store appears to be a bit cuter and popping up errors.
