Seems MS are starting their own EA Access style subscription services which will give you access to over 100 games, a 20% discount on games and 10% off dlc for titles currently on the Game Pass. Seems interesting but the wording makes it look like games will be rotated instead of being on the Game Pass permanently.

Typical! I just bought bloodstained..

Put in a Microsoft refund if you haven't played it yet.

Think Game Pass has actually saved me money at this point. Got the upgrade to GPU on the cheap and it's really put a stop to most of the potential bargains I used to pick up in the weekly sales and never play. Even games like Bloodstained, I would've liked to have played but unless I think I can get around to playing a game immediately then I don't buy it cos anything could pop up on Game Pass by the time I get around to playing it.

That and the fact that it's hard to justify buying another game with so much on offer there. Mostly only buy Switch games now. Best service ever.

For those that participate in the Game Pass quests for microsoft rewards, there's a new quest out that's pretty interesting. Every Gamerscore you get over the next ten days will also count as a microsoft reward point, up to a max of 10,000.

See here, it's the top quest.

Cant find that on the console at all.

Do we need to do anything particular to trigger this or just play away and earn the rewards?

It looks great. I was tempted to get it on the Switch also but there apparently is some issues with that version.

I'm hoping this is cross compatible with PC and Xbox.

Looks like those ones are just console unfortunately.

It's on there now.

I don't know if it's worded weirdly, but it reads to me like you've got to get 500 gamerscore, then click a punchcard, and from then on it'll count? It's weird, I don't know if that's correct.

There's also a list of eligible games that are.... not great..... Well, some are. There's only twenty games on it.

Anyone tried Bloodstained yet? Playing it there and I'm only about 30 minutes in and must have had at least 4 or 5 crashes now. Generally happens when I go into pause menu, her head disappears and game stalls then. Enjoying it up to now but it's borderline unplayable at the moment. Thought they'd have this stuff well patched out by now.

Usually runs fine for me, only time it potentially crashes for me is when I pick up a book. One of the final bosses tanks the fps too.

Maybe I've just had bad luck so. Are you playing on One or One X. On One X here and it generally happens when I go into a menu after picking up a new weapon, which you kind of need to do quite a bit.

I've been playing it on an X and an S. Unfortunately it is known to be an unstable game on all platforms.

That's a pity, was enjoying what I played if it. Just on the first boss. Will try again later and see how it fares.

So I am having a problem with this, I have gotten about 20 achievements between Minecraft, Gears 5, Dead Rising 4 and some other games but none of the points are registering on the rewards, it still says 0/500
I also have a punch card activated for Gears 5 for 250 points once I get any achievement, got 4 of them and it still hasnt registered

The gears 5 one states that it many take a few days before the achievements register!

As for the points one, it may not total until the end of the event? That's just a guess though

Here's the ID@GamePass games coming soon, some classics in there as well.

Console/PC
Munchkin
Lonely Mountains: Downhill
Demon’s Tilt
Genesis Noir
Minit
The Talos Principle
Vambrace: Cold Soul

Console Only
Yooka Laylee
The Escapists 2

PC Only
Cities: Skyline (Windows 10 Edition)
Dead by Daylight

Ones that I've played:
Minit is just a great little game.

The Talos Principle is just brilliant, loved it to bits when I went through it. Superb puzzle game from the Serious Sam folks, very interesting story line as well, so long as you can find it!

Ones that I think look good:

Lonely Mountains: Downhill looks great, seems rock hard.

It's going free on EGS next Thursday too!

Yeah, that's the one. I loved it, it was a great palette cleanser after RDR2

My son's Gold expires in a week,I previously got the deal but jumped in too soon without stacking Gold before getting the Ultimate.
If I let it expire,can I start from scratch and get this deal?

I think you can restack and get ultimate, you probably won't get the €2 intro offer though.

More stuff for Game Pass.

Dirt Rally 2.0

Dirt Rally 2.0 is worth playing. Tougher than the first one but very rewarding. Driving a Group B monster at the Spanish Rally is damn scary.

Think I read somewhere, probably in an email I got, that you now get 6 months Spotify Premium with your Ultimate Game Pass Sub

It's definitely in the UK too. I assume it's only new customers though

I must download this and give it a shot. I do like a good driving sim.

I've really gotten stuck into Battle Chasers:Nightwear and think it's fantastic. Been playing it for hours and hours today. Kinda a FF7 clone with a bootleg female Link in the lead but yeah, very enjoyable old school JRPG.
