What I'm seeing here is that Microsoft are the ones who took down the twin towers.

Should be auto if your cc info is on the account

You can log on and check if the auto switch is toggled

Yea, its set to renew on the 7th. It must be a generic renew message or something.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Honestly incredible they’re giving this game away practically for free after putting so much work into it. I’ve watched a few streams and it’s looking amazing. Loads of fun, good voice acting and sfx, great visuals. All sorts of character building. You could get lost for a long time in it.

I'll have to check it out. I only had access to it on switch, and didn't grab it because of performance issues.

It's on gamepass, copped

Interesting, are there any others like that? I know it probably just used to separate types of games, EA does similar but still under the EA umbrella (BIG etc), it also sounds like a way to mask publisher's identities as boycotts over certain issues become the norm.

I've installed Outer Worlds, but it refuses to switch the button from install to play. I think preloading last night messed something up. It's supposed to unlock at 12am according to MS's offical annoucement.

I feel like they're using Outer Worlds to get people to sign up for game pass on PC.

So looks like yea, preloading it didn't work and i had to mess around with the windowspp folder and manually remove the preload and now its downloading again. Though slowly, very, very slowly.

I don't even know if I preloaded it. I downloaded the 10MB thing when it went up on pc gamepass. Maybe it downloaded the game when I was at school, but when I got home I was able to just launch it.

They... are? Like thats the point; give you good games you want. Thats the whole point!

I think it really speaks to how deep a hole microsoft dug this generation that gamepass gets a side eye and people assuming it sucks more than it does (games disappear quickly/no first party/requires gold)

You can still buy games that you want to own. Personally I play way more games now that I have Game Pass. I play them for a couple weeks and I have a blast and then I move on.

Time passes quickly on the weekend.

Something I've not been able to figure out.

Is it possible for someone to use their ultimate game pass for someone to play on PC while you play another game simultaneously on console?

Yeah there's some stuff that'll stay on game pass forever and most stuff stays on up to a year.

And then when the game is $10 on a sale two years later, that's when you buy a copy.

Then... do that? You know you can just buy the game if you want right? But for those of us that like to try games out, or don't care about permanent ownership of games we know are one-off plays, then PC GamePass + Xbox GamePass + Xbox Live for 3 straight years at $151 is an absolute deal you do not pass up.
