    Not sure why, but i didn't enjoy Mechwarrior 5. Felt really weak, and lacked the impact that i remember from the earlier games.

    Does anyone know a quick and easy way of adding these games to steam.
    Want to stream them via steam link.

    Its an absolute pox.

    I tried with Killer Instinct and took ages to get it working.

    You can fangle some games onto it but its not easy.

    Edit forgot to tell you the easy way, a HDMI cable.

    This xbox ultimate really is brilliant and i love the cross over between xbox and pc

    Playing Gears tactics on it at the moment, have to say enjoying so far. I got a free 3 month sub with my cpu purchase. I think i might extend for another few months.

    You can install to your PC at this link, as it's not showing up on the Xbox app in Windows yet!

    Been messing around with this again despite saying I might not play again. It running very poorly for me on PC. Anyone else struggling to get this running right. Its looks woefull even on relatively high settings.

    There goes the best value for games around

    As of 17 September 2020, Xbox Game Pass for PC is ending introductory pricing and exiting Beta. As we are ending our introductory pricing, your recurring 3-month subscription fee is increasing from €11.99 to €29.99; existing subscribers will keep their current subscription fee for 30 days. You will be charged the new price your first billing cycle after 17 October 2020

    hard to justify keeping it for that pricing for me anyway

    Wont be paying the myself.
    While I still think its good value I just don't think i could justify it
    For 12quid a month it was easy to ignore it being taken out month, 30 quid would make me have to factor it in with monthly bills :pac: I hate being broke haha
    I don't use it enough either but like I said 12quid was easy to just forget about it.

    Just to confirm you can do that €1 more than one (3 times for me) its not limited to 1st time users only so you dont have setup loads of accounts.

    Tenner a month is still by far the best value around for any digital service.
