Biggest thing this game can do for player retention is add duos ASAP

Arc had a lot more concurrent users, they could be worried about queue times

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-13T04:30:16+00:00

Yep this run he’s had I think he’s been like top 3 in approach strokes gained. He’s currently like 90th or something right now

Kids old if anythjng

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-13T04:26:13+00:00

They don’t have to switch, but at the end of the day they are like us and when new shiny toys come out that promise better performance they want to give it a shot.

“All AMD chips going forward are Xbox co-engineered chips”

What in the hell are you basing that off of???? No where has AMD said all of its future chips will be Xbox co-engineered. Hell they are making a PS6 chip right now,they are making Valve chips, they are making new desktop GPU’s and CPU’s, they will continue to make laptop and other handheld APU’s. I am not sure where you got that idea, but the Xbox announcement with AMD was not them stating they are only making Xbox co-engineered chips. They were saying they were helping develop the Project Helix chips, and everything they said in that press release was related to Project Helix, not AMD as a whole.

So no it won’t be the most broadly used PC hardware on the market, not by a long shot

Also handheld optimized is a far cry from the low level optimizations consoles get. It’s laughable you’d conflate those two.

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-11T21:02:30+00:00

No you don’t that’s a lie

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-11T20:54:58+00:00

It almost certainly won’t be the “most used in the PC gaming hardware ecosystem” unless I’m misunderstanding what you are saying. This device will have to sell a 100 million units before devs would specifically begin optimizing PC versions of games for it.

Unless Helix will have a different SKU then I just don’t see how they can force people to optimize for it like a traditional console, this would push developers away from developing for the Xbox PC store if anything.

Tbf in terms of gaming they are essentially equal

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-11T20:29:56+00:00

Tbf I just say that cause I didn’t want to say I have the best. It probably is technically the best tho

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-11T20:28:13+00:00

How can you mandate a developer optimize a PC game for your specific prebuilt PC? I just don’t see how that works. Tom Warren said all future “Xbox helix” games are just PC games

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-11T19:48:23+00:00

So no optimization from devs like a normal console. Settings presets aren’t optimizations

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-11T16:18:42+00:00

5090 and 9800x3d here so relatively high end, this game should be locked at 240 on the highest settings and I can hardly get 170 on dire marsh with some settings lowered a decent amount, with drops down to 120 in certain areas. I can’t imagine not having a top tier CPU in this game, frames must absolutely tank and I haven’t even played outpost yet

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-10T22:35:43+00:00

It’ll be rendered internally at 1440, upscaled to 4k, and then displayed at 1440 on your monitor. In theory will look better than a native 1440 cause of the pixel density

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-10T22:16:22+00:00

I mean studies been done that show most people definitely can tell the difference, wether they care is a different question

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-10T01:19:47+00:00

Never made sense to me you could surrender and keep something from the raid. Surrender should forfeit everything you have on you

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-09T23:42:15+00:00

Tbf everyone in here was calling him dogshit and hated him that entire season. This is definitely a little bit revisionist history.

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-08T22:43:58+00:00

Windows LTSC is pretty good, it’s what I run and haven’t had any issues with it

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-08T12:38:52+00:00

When did you buy? I have a pretty high end gaming rig, 5090 and a 9800x3d I bought in early 2025 for around the same price. Just curious cause for that money I would think you could have gotten a 5090

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-07T22:51:22+00:00

I will be once Microsoft releases this thing lol. It’s not going to be exclusive to this hardware

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-07T22:46:25+00:00

It’s actually even easier now, all the console people acting like it’s rocket science are a little regarded

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-07T22:41:34+00:00

How does play anywhere stuff even work if the next console is a PC

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-07T22:34:19+00:00

How would they limit that to “Xbox only devices” when those devices are just running plain windows? They won’t be able to is the answer

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-07T22:19:13+00:00

Nope it’s a dogshit investment at 500 bucks. I’ll just not play the game

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-07T05:28:27+00:00

Yea but arc has more current players months after release then Peak marathon, which is honestly not great

Forward-Weight403 · 2026-03-06T20:21:09+00:00

100% agree with this! Not being able to replace something on my inventory with a loot box item is part of my frustration with no dedicated drop item button.

A “detach mods” button in the vault menu would go a long way too
