I've had a few co-workers come up to myself and my SoT shipmate and ask us about GamePass and how to get a XSX after E3.
Seems like All Access is the best way right now with the stock situation.

I'm glad to see there are more Xbox fans on the site lately. I'll see you Spartans when Halo Infinite launches this year (hopefully)
That's even if I can get my hands on a damn Series X in time lol

I don't think Thurs is meant to be a consumer facing stream.
Usually they would have done an Inside Xbox stream today with that other info.

Im quite convinced that games isn't what its most important to these people, but that they have more fun in console wars and cheering for their favorite brands. Its almost like an ideology.

The demos for Sable and Tunic are out (among plenty others I didn’t try).
Tunic is amazing and plays just as well as I expected, maybe a bit too difficult.
Sable looks and plays really rough, don’t know if it’s an old demo but it runs sub 30 FPS with plenty of glitches.

Would Bloomberg really use the term “ditches?”
Seems unprofessional to me. I would have expected something like Abandons.

''Japan is Xbox's fastest growing market'' - IGN Japan interviews Jeremy Hinton, who is in charge of the Asian region of Xbox News
Japan is xbox fastest growing market according to Hinton; Some other points that I personally found interesting. - They commit to localized every single first party game, SoT got a increase in JP players since it got a jp update back in February. - They are already in talks with the TGS...

Right while she's on the screen. The media loves to hate on Xbox, that's so brazen.
With no shame I'll say that I enjoy a bit of console warring and bantering/debating from a position that I know is somewhat in opposition to the those involved. Unfortunately, some people like to overdo it and derail any thread about a brand that isn't their favorite (unless it is a negative topic), that's the unfortunate thing. It's too bad that mods can't issue temporary bans that are partial, if I cross the line, ban me from Sony threads but still let me participate in Xbox threads (where I wouldn't be so toxic anyway), but that's probably not possible from a technical perspective. Plus, a lot of threads are more in the middle.

I guess when you start from next to nothing it's easier to get those big percentage gains. Look we had 10 users now we have 20, a 100% increase. (okay that was mean). Seriously, good to hear, maybe more of the Japanese content will eventually be available on Xbox, at least digitally.

Wasn’t Gunk a permanent exclusive? Also, Grounded will eventually leave Game Preview.

Pretty sure that tweet was referring to 1st party games, not exclusives. I don't think The Gunk is published by Xbox Game Studios.
I guess Grounded full release could be the Sept one, (bit of a letdown if so, only because in my mind it's a game thats already out.)

Maybe both are Halo, September MP and December campaign?

In between the Campaign and Multi segments he said they are launching together this holiday. They are going to come out day and date with each other.

That would also explain why they didn't show any real new SP footage during E3. Focus the coming months on MP aspect, launch it in September. Then start the marketing campaign for SP for the next 2-3 months.

Expect they said that the game was launching together, this holiday.
That would neither be together, nor holiday

I missed that, still think they just wanted to show MP stuff and start a big marketing campaign for the SP soon

Game Pass!
Might be a weird recommendation, but Halo 5. It looks really nice on a 4K TV if you have one. Sea of Thieves, and even Crackdown 3 look very nice on a 4K HDR TV. Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order got a next-gen update recently and it already looked good. Gears 5 Hive Busters DLC is supposed to look really nice.

Is Cyberpunk a nice upgrade from One X? I know it isn't upgraded yet, but it run pretty crappy now.

It's always ran very nice on the Series X. Probably not too much different visually.

I'm still just waiting for the actual next-gen releases of Cyberpunk to play it. And at this rate, god knows when that will be.
If you want to be blown away visually it’s got to be Gears 5 Hivebusters DLC, it’s a good game too.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Gears 5 especially Hivebusters (its included with GPU). A Plague Tale is on GP and will get the 4k60 upgrade in 2 weeks. Halo 4 looks really good at 4K. Forza Horizon 4 is beautiful, fun, and runs perfectly. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is 4k60 with FPS Boost enabled. If you've got a 4k120 TV you can play games like New Super Luckys Tale at 4k120 for a beautiful and smooth experience.

yes, this too

. Even just for appreciating the beauty of the game. Solo isn't ideal imo until the game "clicks", but it really is a stellar game with friends or maybe even randoms.

I was in the same boat last week, having upgraded from my old 360 warhorse
Having a blast with the Definitive Edition of the first Ori game, RDR 2 (not on GP) and The Falconeer is tickling my Panzer Dragoon itch until I get to reinstalling PD Orta.
Not sure if these are the games that will blow you away as far as new gen bells and whistles go...though RDR2 still stands toe to toe with anything out there but they all look great and have lovely art direction.
It's a very impressive piece of kit that compliments my Nintendo Switch perfectly.
Enjoy!

It is actually how most 2D metrovinia games are done. They never tell you which way is the correct one.

I have noticed that I spend less time playing "bad" games than I did before Game Pass.
BGP ("Before Game Pass") I sometimes used to buy random games, when there was nothing else to play or just out of curiosity. If the game turned out to be boring, I still had to force myself to play it more, since I had paid for it.
Now, when I want something extra to play, I can try something on GP, ditch it (in case it's unplayable) and find a better game without any buyers remorse or lost money. Talking digital only here, btw.
Of course, I still buy games that aren't on GP, but I can be more selective on what to buy. This arrangement works very well between blockbuster releases.
