The Xbox Series X|S guide: every optimized game, future releases, Game Pass and more!

Back 4 Blood delayed.

Gamepass for sure.

I really liked what I saw from the trailers but. I need to finish a handful of other games first. Then it’s between that and Outer worlds, well maybe Outriders. It’s all too much!

Yeah, a ton of games to choose and pick from. I would go with GreedFall over The Outer Worlds and Outriders because it’s been in Game Pass a while and who knows how long it will be there? The Outer Worlds will never leave and Outriders is good for at least six months if not longer.

Makes sense. Just feel like I should play Outriders (as long as I enjoy it ) to hell lad those numbers so more stuff like this continues to happen. Might sound dumb but that’s how I decide sometimes. That’s why I played Undertale so quickly.

I can agree with this. More people play Outriders on Game Pass day one, more likely to see future deals day one from Square Enix and in general.

My thinking. I can put some other things on hold for a couple weeks

Goal is to beat Cyber Shadow and Carrion before April 1st

You finding Cyber Shadow tough? I’ve read it was hard, I only played a little bit.

Only played first two levels so far and it’s not easy but I also wouldn’t call it hard by any means. Maybe that changes I. Further levels.

THPS 1+2 next gen version keeps crashing in the main menu :roll_eyes:

Nothing yet. Warframe in particular is odd since its next-gen patch is already available on PS5.

Yeah, those crashes are affecting many people. I wonder if Activision will address it on the weekend or only next week.
