Anyone know why The Orange Box is currently unavailable? It was one of the first games I was going to play on my Series X.

 

[Lukin1978]

I'll wait until there is a 2tb external hard drive available

Loving my experience so far BUT Is there any way to dim the controller light? Boy is it bright when playing in the dark

In think you can in controller settings, I remember I could do it on my elite

 

[Mr.ODST]

How is everyone finding their Series X, Since a lot of games have been Series X patched today they look absolutely mind blowing (compared to One X) really impressed with my purchase so far, true no many Next-Gen games but some excellent things on showcase!

 

[JORMBO]

Dead or Alive 6 4K mode is buttery smooth now.

Installing AC:V now and have a few games like Forza Horizon 4 queued to move to internal storage to test later.

Oh thank god. Was contemplating getting a sticker Might be worse because I'm playing Blair Witch a very dark game itself. Wasnt an issue during the day.

 

[M1chl]

So I loaded up Metro Exodus. Specifically, the Caspian. Things are definitely more stable. I ended up bailing on the Xbox version when I first got the game because of how annoyed I got with the framerate.

Still, I loathe this game with a controller.

I mean, more like how fast was the loading? Because it's like 2 minute+ everytime you die on X1X....

I just got to England in AC Valhalla. Anyone trying to argue it's not next gen is a system warrior threatened by non-first party games.

 

[Slaylock]

I haven't played a Gears of War game since the original. Should I play 4 or 5, or should I try the other 360 games?

Game Pass + Not having an Xbox for about a decade = Drinking from a firehose

 

[Flintty]

Congrats. Looks like I'll be the only one sitting out tonight.

I’m sitting out tonight too. It’s on the way though so hopefully waiting for me when I get home from work tomorrow!

I’ll probably never use Amazon UK for a console launch again though. Back to midnight opening for me!

 

[Concern]

Can anyone shed light on how game sharing works, if its still in? Is it still like Xbox one?

 

[JORMBO]

Console UI is really smooth and snappy finally. It always seemed slow or a little laggy last gen.

 

[Flintty]

Lol I thought that was dead. Didn’t they announce that at start of last gen?

 

[RPS37]

Where is a list of series x enhanced games?

 

[PhaseJump]

Xbox didn't buy half of Japan yet?!

Worst launch ever.

4 was...OK. First third was kind of stupid fighting robots. 5 is much better.

 

[Chukhopops]

Is it me or Quick Resume is a bit bugged at the moment? I tried it with Watch Dogs and FH4 and it didn’t work, it loaded from the start. It only worked with Tetris effect.

Seems some games are hit and miss with it at the moment.

Oh, I was still using my USB hard drive. Sorry.

Working currently with Dead Cells and Tales of Vesperia.

Yakuza will have to wait, only got 5ish hours left.

No problem, just asking : )

 

[Flintty]

I’m loving all the positive stories and reactions in this thread. This is what it’s about! Keep them coming.

 

[LeftThumbstick]

Ok, the load times on this X are just ridiculous. The only thing that will annoy me now is waiting on the older gen consoles loading in to start a game

 

[Hostile_18]

You cant dim it

This is insane in a dark game. Look at what I'm dealing with..

What game is that xD

Blair WItch. I'm walking through the woods at night and the controller light is just blasting me. It normally dosnt bother me but it's fairly close to my face with it been a controller and bright white.

What GamePass games allow local co-op?

Streets of Rage 4 is an instant recommendation

Already downloading.
I understand that also fighting games and I think Halo, right?

 

[Hostile_18]

I really don't want to put blu tak or tape over my brand new controller. I'm hoping it's just this game been exceptionally dark. If I go to the home screen its not distracting.

I don't think games what are X S enhanced will work. I transferred 2 via network from XB1X as they never even showed up when i plugged in external hdd. It then prompted me to update (full game download) when i tried to start them. Only games only that get a boost from cpu/gpu can play.

Yes Halo, a left-field recommendation would be Overcooked! 2

 

[CatLady]

Finally it's here it's here. going to set it up now.

Halo, Gears 5 (posibllly all of them, not sure which are there)

 

[CatLady]

So it's updating now. Damn set up is always suck a pain, I don't have enough outlets for 3 consoles, modem, soundbar TV etc and I don't have enough HDMI slots on my TV for 3, I do but for some reason 1 doesn't work so I'll have to leave either my 1X or Switch disconnected. Plus trying to unravel the maze of cables is a fucking nightmare!

 

[Mr.ODST]

Forza Horizon 4 with 4K 60 and upgraded textures looks incredible

 

[Deleted member 740922]

Finally it's here it's here. going to set it up now.

Glad it finally arrived! Enjoy

Old gen checking in.

Now that it’s on GamePass, don’t miss the original Mirror’s Edge. It looks amazing for its time, in 4K and HDR. It’s also an absolutely great game, an amazing parkour platformer and interactive action movie in one, but I feel like I don’t need to say that with the reputation it has at this point.

 

[Deleted member 740922]

Ori and the Will of the Wisps looks amazing on this

Usually not a first person guy but I agree with you totally, friggin love the first Mirrors Edge. The art style, colours, parkour stuff and the soundtrack is fantastic.

All kidding aside, it's actually a great game to play if you haven't and have a Series X. It looks great, isn't too long, and is now on Game Pass Ultimate so you've got nothing to lose.

Shame about the sequel though.

I still have my 360 copy from all those years ago mate.

I’m into space/astronomy so when using my buddy’s set up to watch the night sky I listen to music, one of the tracks is from Mirrors Edge

 

[splattered]

Update on my situation no one is paying attention to... haha

I just set up my Series X and i did NOT get the same screen telling me that my Xbox is entitled to All Access... my wife's did but mine did not. Neither of us used All Access to "buy" our systems so i'm not sure what happened here???

 

[Sealord of Braavos]

I know it’s been covered extensively...but when you open up the Series X box you cannot be impressed with the classy presentation. Power My Dreams indeed.

Now it’s time to finally hook up this sexy beast.

Seems there is 2 SKU's, I was the only XAA customer in the line and the manager has to bring out a separate Xbox, we know Xbox included internal codes onto the actual consoles themselves now.

Did you order through XAA, if not then your wife must of got an XAA Console by mistake
