I have both, love a good RTS. I would jump to HW2 because it looks and plays very well and it is now in 4K and HDR. That being said the story in HW1 is better I think.

If you plan to play competitively then there is a steep enough learning curve but it can be great. I played quite a bit of 3v3 ranked.

I really enjoyed playing through both, but HW1 is fugly in parts, even though it's been updated.

Thanks, I'll skip straight to HW2, time is short :-)

Does anyone remember Driver, San Fran for 360 being on game pass?
I have it installed on my machine, but when I go to play it, it seems that I don't own it.

No, you own it outright. Have you redeemed the code on the relevant amount rather then just purchased it?

Thanks a mill for the reply Eagerbeaver, I haven’t a notion, above is what I bought and boys input the code & installed but it doesn’t appear to work.

Edit : thanks everyone for the replies I appreciate the help.

If you go through the Xbox, or Xbox/Microsoft website to "redeem a code" it should work and you'll have access to the game. If that doesn't work, there's a problem with the code and you should go back to cdkeys.

Is the Xbox set as the Home console for the account that redeemed the code, that can affect other accounts from accessing it.

CatInABox · 11-07-2018 10:43am

It's a problem that keeps cropping up, which has to be incredibly frustrating for anyone it affects.

They've added Rocket league to Gamepass, and in the process, it screws up the licensing for a small amount of people who legitimately own the game. Contact Microsoft Support, or wait a day or two, and it'll get fixed.

You just missed a 6 month game pass for €30 deal by a few weeks.

Cheapest atm is 6 months for €42. Select buy as gift and choose 6 month game pass, then email it to yourself.

Set box to home console, uninstalled and reinstalled and it’s working thanks to everyone who took the time to reply, appreciate it.... kids were driving me nuts.

If there's anyone on here who has yet to try Game Pass, I have a code for a 30 day trial I'm not using. Just thank this post if interested and I'll pick someone from an imaginary hat in a while.

Code won't work if you've used Game Pass previously either through normal sub or a trial so only good if you're a first timer.

If everyone on here already has an account I'll throw it up on Games Giveaway thread.

Is this a good deal?

9 months for 47.40 pounds with Amazon prime.

Yeah, using the buy as gift 6 month Pass from xbox.com it would cost €6.99 per month. Using that Prime deal the monthly cost would be £5.26/~€5.99.

There was a better deal for 6 months for £24 for E3 last month but doubt that will be up again soon. Not bad for 9 months though especially if your considering buying the the likes of FH4 or Gear 5 which will be up on release.

Doing 3 months game pass for 9.99 in MS store at the moment which is a great deal

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/p/xbox-game-pass/cfq7ttc0k6l8/0005

Edit: think it might be just for new users though and won't stack to existing. Still great intro offer

I wonder could you buy it 4 times and get a year or is it only a buy once thing?

Max Mafioso · 19-07-2018 7:38am

Well if you try to purchase as a gift you get the regular price.
I was just taking a look at it there and 3 months is €29.97 and 6 months is €41.94

marcbrophy · 19-07-2018 10:23am

3 months is €9.99 on the IE store when you aren't signed in.
Then after sign in, goes back to €9.99 per month.

Must be an offer for people who don't have it already

Sorry I've not heard this but are you saying that Gears of War 5 is going to be released on Game Pass?

Is there a list on games coming out on Game Pass?

All Microsoft developed games will be added to Games Pass on release, including Gears of War 5, Forza Horizon 4, etc.

It's gone from being an OK service for catching up, to being near essential.

You can take it as a given any Xbox exclusive from here on out will be. Gears 5, Crackdown 3, the next Halo, Forza etc will all be on Game Pass from launch.

xPixelx · 24-07-2018 10:37am

Jesus You know now that you guys say it I remember reading that about Microsoft developed games but for some reason I had a brain fart about Gears 5 developers, that's going to be a sweet deal I've played the some of the exclusive release's of games they hype up on game pass but to be honest they have been very unpolished, Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2 at least with Gears 5 its going to be super polished love the gears series

WarpAsylum · 24-07-2018 4:58pm

It's turned out to be, as Cat said, practically essential.

I was watching the Forza 4 demo at the latest E3 thinking "Wow, that looks amazing. I need to play that as soon as if comes out. But €60 odd quid!?!....oh wait"

xPixelx · 25-07-2018 10:52am

I think its gradually finding its legs to be honest when it first came out I used the free month or what ever it was to get a discount and thought is that all this feature is going to be there for.. I then bought 6 months sub because of the hype of SoT and SoD2 but both games have had very rough starts and again my thoughts have been what is this just for old games/half tested non ready for release games/discounts but as you guys said the real gem is if those big titles land on it, it would be silly not to have game pass.

One of the issue I've seen people complain about is that because people don't fully buy the game there is a lack of care from the players playing and he/she starts trolling in game, abusing players because they haven't followed the game or excited about the game release or even that sense of care after spending €60 on a game they get it for free (game pass).

Hitman GOTY Season 1 is on Games Pass now, which is a phenomenal game.

For anyone that hasn't played any of the free levels or anything, take your time going through the game, replay levels trying different things. For me, the aim was to get the "mastery" for each stage up to 20, unlocking everything on the way. And yes, the silenced auto shotgun is amazing.

Also amazing is the simple act of throwing stuff. Lock on, throw. No need to aim properly or anything, skulling some guy from across the room with a billiard ball is a great feeling.

Rumours on Reddit that Doom (2016) will be coming to Game Pass tomorrow, 10. August 2018.

It seems to be base on a screenshot of a promotional e-mail. No official word, though, so it'll be a 'wait and see if it's true' or just some kid with too much time on their hands and basic photoshop skills.
