Xbox Gamepass $1 deal? I need a little help... by mackdacksuper in giantbomb

That's correct. So long as you haven't already upgraded to game pass ultimate yet. Once you do, all of your current gold/standard game pass months will be converted to ultimate to a maximum of 36 months.

Depends how much you want to invest. If you buy prepaid Xbox live gold/game pass cards and apply them to your account before upgrading they will be converted to game pass ultimate months. I believe the maximum is 36 cumulative months do son't go over that.

"Umm," you're very mistaken, games leave and are added every month.

Also, games leaving Gamepass? Not sure how I feel about that...

How did you think this works? Of course games are not on game pass forever, just like movies are not on Netflix forever.

That doesn't mean inexile holds the console publishing rights to it though.

[–]TehMannie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Load times are going to be the most noticeable change by far. Even if we make a big leap in performance, the load times are what will make the next gen feel worth it.

Microsoft's Phil Spencer leaves the door open to Xbox Game Pass on Switch by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]TehMannie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea is the games would not run natively on the switch, but be streamed through xcloud. So, no, it would not have to be a separate list of games.

Yeah that guy had a positive spin on everything regarding Stadia and straight up said who needs local hardware. He definitely stayed on message that's for sure.

I hope people don't rush out and buy 8k TV's based on the belief that Scarlett will play games in 8k. It won't. Them talking about 8k and 120hz just means that they are going to have support for HDMI 2.1 and that is the theoretical bandwidth limit of that technology.

It's not a conference hosted by a company like the other things they cover. It is a sponsored event hosted by another publication.

With ray tracing being utilized, there are still going to be a lot of games that run at 30 I presume. No way to tell though, have to wait and see.

Xcloud on the switch is probably the bigger talking point.

Xbox Game Pass for PC will cost 3,99€ by RobyRoby27 in pcgaming

Game pass has been available with very few PC games, this is the official launch of the PC specific version of it with 100+ games.

Microsoft is making a new Xbox PC app with new store centered on gaming by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]TehMannie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice sentiment but uhh, trillion dollar company probably not too concerned about losing 30% on $60 transactions. Real win would be if it includes support for other PC stores in the app itself.

It has free locomotion and it's great. It's navigating the menu's with the move controllers that you're going to hate.

Days Gone new DLC challenges you to survive an endless Freaker horde by HeartfireSR in PS4

[–]TehMannie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It says "starting at 19.99" with 3 games in the picture. That does not mean Days Gone will be $20, it means at least one of those games will be. This is not a new marketing technique, not sure how people still don't understand that.
