Poll: *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

[Macro]

Exclusive or not, this surely means the games will be included in GP, which reinforces my decision to go Xbox this time as a Western RPG machine.

This is the real doozy - they will add them to Gamepass for Xbox and PC in effect making them free for customers already on Gamepass whilst PS customers will I guess continue to pay full price.

We will be adding Bethesda’s iconic franchises to Xbox Game Pass for console and PC

The horsepower behind Series X, Plus Gamepass, plus EAPlay, plus XCloud, plus a chunk of MS titles available on both PC and Xbox for no additional charge really is a winning combo for me.

 

[McPhee]

Gamepass. Just Gamepass.

Yeah this.

I mean, in the past two weeks they've added FIFA/NHL/Madden, Battlefield, NFS, UFC, Star Wars Battlefront, Mass Effect, Titanfall, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Quake, Dishonoured, Wolfenstein, Rage, Prey, The Evil Within, and more.

Damn

 

[Arcane]

Hopefully they'll push for keyboard and mouse support now they're part of Microsoft.

Will the new fifa be on Game pass day on release?

 

[BMox81]

Will the new fifa be on Game pass day on release?

No. You’ll either have to wait six months like is standard EA protocol or use the EA Play discount.

No, EA wait about 10 months before adding sports title to the service.

6/7-ish.

It's usually around July for FIFA. For those of us who enjoy these games, but aren't that bothered about having the latest version on day one, it works great.

So I’ve got the Astro A40 headphones with the mixamp pro. According to Astro they will be compatible with the Xbox series x as the mixamp will need a firmware download in order for sound to be used with the usb connection. The Xbox series no longer have the optical port at the back.

Just an FYI for anyone that has the same headphones. Hopefully the firmware upgrade will be available day one on the release of the Xbox series consoles.

 

[Huggie86]

I can see Bethesda stuff being gamepass day 1 and then PS5 6 months later or something.

 

[BuffetSlayer]

Game website has just let me register but getting internal 500 errors when I try and log in. That doesent bode well!

 

[ciggybumly]

Does anyone know if the Plex app will output Atmos to a receiver on the series x? Was thinking of replacing my Nvidia shield pro, but would need to be able to play all the formats the shield can

 

[Eliot]

Im sorry if this has been asked.


I have a X1X on all access.
Nearly at 12 months so was in time to get the deal to upgrade to series x

Question.

Can we preorder online via all access or do i have to go to store tomorrow (as theres some complication re: the upgrade)

 

[t@xman]

Only ones confirmed are Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo, as that was part of the original deal.
Anything after that is based game by game.

......and I fully expect DeathHoop and GhostCable to come out on Xbox at the same time.

Yeh I’m having the same issue, can’t even access the website on my phone.
They may have taken it down due people trying to log in to get prepared for the pre orders tomorrow.
Smyths seems to be ok though I can easily access that via my phone browser.

 

[McPhee]

......and I fully expect DeathHoop and GhostCable to come out on Xbox at the same time.

Could be that the Deathloop delay wasn't a coincidence.

I don't care either way TBH. This game was always on my "will ait for Game Pass" list. I'm really intrigued by it. But nowhere near enough to spend £40+.

 

[BlizzardX]

So tomorrow morning, i am hoping that the finance applications will slow everyone down , considering many will likely be opting for the monthly deal.

I am good to go with my xbox credit for the MS Store and paying upfront

Is it 8am everywhere?

I think so but my 8am is ~12 hours ahead of your 8am

 

[Earth[Tera].bin]

Back to Amazon for me, got the 8am confirmation from them .So 7am cuppa tea browse forums and prep for the mad rush. Good luck all lol.
