The same day as The Division 2!
I bought both Control and Metro Exodus and I’m anxious waiting for the next-gen patch. Can’t wait to play them!
I forgot about the next gen upgrade for The Division 2. I really wish Ubisoft Connect worked with it so I could transfer my PS4 save over to Xbox One and play the game on Series X next year. Oh well.
Control and Metro Exodus are both great games. Depending on how my backlog is going in March, I may buy the Control UE to play the expansions but I don’t like the fact that I would have to replay the entire base game in order to start the expansions. I wish games would make them separate and if you want to play them without worrying about playing through the base game or having a save file with the base game completed, you can.
Well I didn’t have Control so why not get it for 20€ ? With The Medium coming at the end of January and the Control patch there will be things to play with XSX enhancements.
For some reason Tannenber is not showing as optimized anymore. 
On other news, MXGP 2020 got a PS5 version but the game is not Optimized for the Series X|S. Terminator: Resistance is also being enhanced for the PS5, but the developers are dead silent about a Series X|S version.

Hey guys, is there any way to move one post (or maybe two) of mine up to the #2 position in this thread? I hit a character limit in the first post, so I can’t add anything else in there.

It looks like CRSED is Cuisine Royale?
It is! The full game was rebooted and received a new name. CRSED: F.O.A.D. stands for Cuisine Royale Second Edition: Fulfillment of All Desires.
The game was supposed to be optimized day one on the Series X, but the patch only went live today.

If you normally don’t like walking simulators is Call of the Sea worth a play. Not criticizing the genre it’s just not my thing and was wondering if I should take the time to try it.
Its more like a puzzle game than a walking sim. But if you hate the slow walking aspect in walking sims especially, avoid Call of the Sea. Because even the ‘running’ speed is slooooooow.
Just wanna say how much I enjoy the statistical end-of-month breakdown, Bruno. I love looking at data like that!

Thanks for the info . I’m probably going to pass on it. I got too much to play as is.
Another surprise optimized game ruining my monthly recap:

Nice to get raytracing. Shame we still don’t have a dlss equivalent on consoles to get both RT and 60fps!+ (though given how rdna2 performs in this game with raytracing I guess a stable 30fps is already a good thing)
Why cant we get a 1080p-14440p 60fps RT mode? Cant we get both instead of 1 or the other.

Nothing for me in January which is great news as it will allow me to catch up with the games I have had since launch or shortly thereafter with Outriders (barring a delay) being my next new purchase.
