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:

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.

The Guacamelee 2 page even states it is included in Xbox Game Pass for PC.

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.

Cool I'll check it out. I was trying through the Microsoft store on windows....should have known better!

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?!
