anyone know how DLC works on games with game pass, since you dont own those games?

It works fine. You will also get a discount on any dlc for games in Game Pass. Of course if the game leaves Game Pass you will need to purchase the game to continue using the dlc.

MLB The Show 21 is coming to gamepass on April 20th. Didn't expect that from a Sony first party studio.

Amazing news.

Looks like MLB wanted their games on more platforms so Sony had to open it up and then MS pay up and put in Game Pass on launch day.

So Playstation 5 users will have to pay €70 for their own Sony developed game whilst Game Pass subscribers get the game for free.

Really getting into Outriders.

Like a sci-fi The Division.

Wouldn't mind some game pass quests on Gta V.
It just happens to be one of my favourites even though it's old AF now

Time for a 6th/7th playthrough I think. :P

Just finished Dishonored. Fps boost is impressive. Gotta give outriders a try next. I'm a sucker for the character progression grind.

If yissr looking for a blast... Zombie Army 4 : Dead War is now on Gamepass and xcloud

If u haven't time for campaign try out the horde survival mode (you can play that multiplayer co-op too).

Great sound FX and soundtrack too. Stick on the headphones and turn off the lights.

I've recently subbed to GPU (thanks to the amazing sticky!) and it is just phenomenal. Even at full price the value is insane!

Got myself a razer kichi controller for the phone too and if you thought the nintendo switch style capability to move from couch/TV to bed was good, this surpasses it for me. Simply amazing. Xcloud works almost flawlessly for me so far. First time playing gears 5 on my phone was jaw dropping

Every day seems to get better and better. I was (greedily) bemoaning the lack of older games on xcloud at first, but they are now addressing that with a bunch of 360 games just released. Pretty soon I won't even need any emulation solution to scratch the retro itch.

Class.

Out of interest what's your broadband speed and phone ram, mine is 500mb and phone is 4gb ram but still find it laggy enough some times.

12gb ram on the note 10+ but not sure if that is the critical aspect.

My broadband speed is only 250 but I don't use the virgin router because it is not very good at all. Replaced with an Asus rt-ac88u and on my 5ghz network I can get almost full speed in most rooms that couldn't even get any signal using virgins.

Using the virgin router you can forget good WiFi speeds in my experience.

Sometimes when on my 2.4 ghz network xcloud gives me a warning about latency so I just switch to 5ghz

Interesting, I've often thought about replacing the VM router.

Is there a forum or website to explain the procedure, or do you just plug out VM box and plug in the new router and away you go!?

Treppen · 22-04-2021 09:44AM

If you like the movie Mars Attacks , Destroy all Humans is coming to gamepass.

Same question but sitting with a Vodafone box here, actually have a brand new router sitting in a box here and never played with it.

deadl0ck · 22-04-2021 01:01PM

You should be able to just take a single ethernet out of the vodafone router and plug it into the new router and have the new router control everything - It will just use your old router as a gateway
Well, that's a bit of a simplification, but more or less that.
I have an Imagine router (my ISP) which plugs into my own router where I control everything from

So I should keep my VF router plugged into the "phoneline", ethernet from VF into the new router, then plug in any ethernet connections into the new router too?

Pretty much - the new router may have a WAN port - if so plug the ethernet from VF in there
I have all my Ethernet going into my own router and a single ethernet from mine into the Imagine router. I've disabled WiFi on the Imagine Router and use the WiFi on my own so I have complete control.
I'm running Gargoyle on my router so I can monitor bandwidth also.
It should work - if not you can usually ask the ISP to put their router into Bridge mode and then it should work, but I've never had to do that so can't really give any advice on it

00sully · 22-04-2021 10:15PM

If you have virgin there should be an option to enable "bridge mode" then plug your other virgin box to your new routers WAN port and away you go.

If the virgin router doesn't have a bridge mode see here https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057649794.

The boxes they give you are brutal. Get a decent Asus router. Got one for my folks too solved all their WiFi issues.

Enjoy lag free xcloud

Whats the cheapest way to get game pass these days?

Sorry, just noticed the sticky.

Don't forget, if you do the rewards quests you can get it for free.

Have started Rage 2 again from the start. Never stuck with it. Decent.

FIFA 21 coming May 6th.

Ya I admit it takes a looooong time for anyone in Ireland as our rewards program is *#**

I'm on 80000 just shy of 1 year and doing practically everything. My GP Ultimate is up in July but I really want to go for a new Xbox S.

BTW Tesco vouchers can be converted to Xbox gift cards.

It's great at forcing you to try different games you wouldn't normally bother with.
Best games so far from the rewards quests...

Dishonored 2
Hellblade Senua Sacrifice
Sniper Elite 4
State of decay
Battlefield (even though the quest was impossible)

Psyconauts is such a good game for anyone who never played it.

Rumours that Battlefield 6 will be released first on Gamepass !!!

If true, thats big. You can no longer ignore or bash Game Pass. It is the place to be this gen for all your gaming needs. Imagine there is also talk of Ubisoft coming to Game Pass. That would be a massive addition and really put pressure on competitors.

wotzgoingon · 04-05-2021 02:55PM

I can't see it. Unless MS paid them massive amounts of money. Their revenue would be down millions if it came straight to gamepass.
