The Old XBOX Megathread

[Bobfoc]

No Man's Sky will come to Game Pass next month.

The Kingdom Hearts collections are coming to Game Pass this month. With Kingdom Hearts 3 already on there, I think that means you can now experience the full series.

But without Kingdom Hearts X Æ A-Xii, will we really experience the full series?

You need a lobotomy, sold separately, for that.

Read this 3 weeks AFTER buying 1.5. Sigh...

If you have Xbox Game Pass and have downloaded The Witcher 3, you can get a free GOG copy on PC for the next seven days.

The big Xbox Series X games showcase will be on 23rd July.

[Bobfoc]

XCloud will be part of the Game Pass Ultimate service at no extra cost from September. If it works reasonably well, that's very good value, as well as a big blow against Stadia.

[Baddar]

Are Stadia doing decent numbers? Has it even launched? 🤣

[Bobfoc]

Stadia launched in April. There's a free trial, so it's not easy to gauge how many paying members it has, but everything I've seen suggests that it's not making much of a splash.

At this point the Ouya is going to be a bigger footnote in history, because at least that is more enjoyable to make fun of.

Here's a link to the stream of Microsoft's first-party games showcase tomorrow. It will also involve a pre-show and post-show with Geoff Keighley. The official Xbox stream requires you to sign in and verify your age, whereas this one doesn't.

Even if you've committed to never buying the Series X, I wouldn't dismiss this show automatically. The games shown will almost certainly be playable on Xbox One and PC as well, and they'll probably be coming to Game Pass at launch.

[apsham]

I think they're promoting a big jump in first party stuff as well.

[Bobfoc]

Also, don't expect a price announcement or firm release date. This is supposed to be all about games.

[Bobfoc]

20 minutes until the pre-show starts.

[Bobfoc]

Dragon Quest XI is coming to Xbox in December, and on Game Pass too.

Is most of this preshow gonna be here's a quick trailer and then talking about Halo: Infinite, rince and repeat?

Quite possibly. Halo is the only game they know will be on the main show. Still, getting trailers at all is a big bonus for the pre-show. That wasn't happening with the other companies.

Even though I am probably PS5 this is still exciting. Love these reveal shows!

If you have an Xbox One, you'll probably be able to play all these games anyway.
