So, how does the Destiny 2 expansion work with Game Pass? You just log in and it's unlocked or whatever? This is the first time I realized Destiny 2 expansions were Game Passable.

I think you just download them separately from gamepass and that’s it

Had I known they'd be adding Scarlet Nexus, I wouldnt've bought it :(

Gamepass has taught me to never buy a game unless I am going to start playing it the second it finishes downloading.

Game Pass does have the "Leaving Soon" section in the console UI that shows stuff fairly well in advance.

There is no point in keeping the Halo beta test files around, right? I was going to delete them but then thought that maybe the normal game would use them when it launched instead of re-downloading everything but that is just something I made up in my head.

Can't recommend Katana Zero strongly enough to anyone who hasn't played it yet. It takes after Hotline Miami in a lot of ways, but with much more of a story, and the music, graphics, and the whole atmosphere combines into an amazing vibe. And the gameplay is really intensely fun and satisfying

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

TABS has also been an Epic Games Store freebie giveaway at some point; I’ve got a copy of it there that I’ve never played

TABS is fun. The campaign is worth a play through and the sandbox can be enjoyable. As someone who has played it I was also confused by it being announced.

So I'm baffled... I just got a new computer and tried to log in to my Game Pass on it and it's already logged in with some random account and asks if I want to get Game Pass. It won't let me log out of it. Already uninstalled and reinstalled.

Any ideas?

Games usually leave upon hitting their 12, 24, or 36 month window.

So if you go to the Game Pass master list spreadsheet (from reddit) and scroll to the right to find a "Likely Leaving" page you can see what games could be up for removal, a month or two in advance.

It's worth considering prioritising games on that list if you intend to play them and don't want to get caught out by the two week warning.

It unironically might be harder now, given I don't think the supply rate has changed but product enthusiasm seems up.

Totally, I woke up on initial order day last year still drunk having slept through my alarm thinking I'd missed my chance. I got a Series X from Amazon for myself and went straight to the Microsoft website and got another X for my stepson for Chrimbo. I literally have not seen the Series X available for anywhere near retail price since.

Series S appears to be easy enough to get at the correct price.

Funny story, my mum sent me a text half an hour ago asking if she's meant to get the "Xbox S 1TB or the Xbox S 512GB" for my niece for Christmas. They're both even black and white consoles. How do ya gently caress up naming so badly?

Had to send the poor woman a link. Thanks, Microsoft.
