At least the game pass offering has something to look forward to, this has to be one of the worst games with gold months I have ever seen.

I agree,  my hope for next gen is that all these new studios pump out some very good exclusives that they can then toss on GoG over time.

Given the popularity of Game Pass, I wonder if we'll see some kinda merging of Games with Gold with Game Pass. 

I honestly wouldn't be that surprised if they just got rid of GWG full stop. Don't get me wrong I love the perk and I download every game that comes "just in case" but some of them I know I'll never ever play. If they could take some of the budget from that and put it back into the Game Pass and bring us more games I'd be fairly OK with that.

I mean they've already raised the RRP by £10 in the UK...which almost covers the cost of a monthly Game Pass sub....

It was £10 over the year though wasn't it? Game Pass is £8 per month, so It's only enough to give you a single month really.

 

I would be happy to see a combined subscription model though, maybe give a small discount across both passes to have them both going. 

 

I've always bought my XBL subs for discounted prices from various places, I don't think I've ever paid £40 for the year or whatever it costs for a year long pass. I am still paying monthly for the game pass now that I think about it though, I should probably look for a deal on an annual sub for that.

Oh yeah good shout. Not sure why I missed that. 

 

They're currently testing that, Game Pass Ultimate for 10.99/month. 

 

Think CD Key have 3 months for 9.99 at the moment.

I had to google the price of XBL because I thought had missed just how much it had gone up by!

 

Good spot on that, I saw they did a 12-month sub for £60 and was very close to just buying that, this works out as a much better deal.

And you can stack.....a whole year for £40 (plus XBL for around £30). Not a bad price.

Yep, I've not stacked anymore than just 3 months, for now, trying to save up for a new bike! 

 

But I think my Game Pass sub was due any day now so it's great timing to have actually done something about this

I keep toying with the idea of get a years worth, but I still only play for around 5/6 hours a week so I don't think I'd be making the most of it. I could probably buy (and own) and number of games for the price in the various sales and deals with Gold and they would keep me busy for the year 😂

Honestly, I should save my money and let my sub die, I very rarely play any of the games. I'm justifying it because I MIGHT want to play them at some point if I get some free time I wouldn't normally have.

Preach. I can't remember the last time I played online or played one of the GwG games. I just let them stack up in my never ending back catalogue. My sub expires in Jul, so I'm going to let it lapse. You've convinced me to do it. 😛

Sorry, I meant my Game Pass sub, I do have a game night each week where I play with some buddies so I definitely want the Gold Sub. However, I tend to play the same games and although one of those is PUBG, I bought it before it was on Game Pass.

So does everyone get their Gold from CDKeys?  

I have for a very long time, I know it's one of those grey sites where the legitimacy is questionable but from what I've read they're no G2A and are using the international market to their favour rather than any form of Credit Card Fruad.

I have for a few years, but last year MS had a dashboard offer for £26.50, which was cheaper than most other deals I found at the time.

Actually now you say that, I think I might have taken that one up too.

urgh, No Mans Sky is on there

 

I've really wanted to give that a shot for a long time now, I know it had a rocky start but from what I understand it's a greatly improved game. Just not quite sure I want to spend £30 on it :(

I swear we're the same person. I went through the same thought process when I was putting together this post. That's why I omitted it from by 'best of' list 😛

I know you were thinking about Elite at one point, I've not played nearly enough but I feel the game is just too big for me. I'm terrible at the combat so I've stayed away from those missions but other missions often involve travelling for 20 minutes through systems and it takes a while. I did get to the point of installing Spotify on the Xbox and playing music as I flew and a very laid back way to play, I enjoy it but it's not the most exciting gameplay.

 

NMS is £20 on Amazon which I think is probably more what I'm willing to pay but I'm lazy and really only like to buy digital these days.

      Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
