Xbox Game Pass |OT| Our Backlogs Are Doomed

Has Fortnite been announced for XSX upgrade on launch day? I really want to hop on with RT effects when I get my XSX

Yes!

Hope DOOM is up at midnight so we can get it downloaded ahead of time.

Hey, you can download the new Xbox app on your cellphone and download any game even if you don’t own it!

So you can look for Doom Eternal on the Xbox App, download it and when the game becomes available on Game Pass you just need to open the file you already downloaded! :slight_smile:

Hope we can get Fallout 3 and New Vegas GOTY editions on Game Pass. Right now its just Fallout NV base game

This is such a great feature. Going to download some EA Play vault games so they’re ready to go on series x launch day.

So tempted to try out Doom Eternal, but I think I’m going to wait for the series x enhancements

Doom Eternal is now available:

One thing about Doom Eternal: if your game is not working properly, check the ā€œmanage game and add-onsā€ menu to see if the campaign add-on (10 mb) is installed.

Even on iPhone? Where do i find the new app?

I’m not sure how does it work on iOS :frowning: I think it is available from something called ā€œTestFlightā€?

From the Xbox post:

The new Xbox app (beta) is coming to all Xbox supported markets, and gamers are invited to download and check it out beginning today. You can download the app from the Google Play Store, or with extremely limited spots available for testing from the Apple Store. Please send us your feedback and let us know what you think.

Check out Xbox Live’s Major Nelson’s Video Podcast for even more details on the Xbox app (Beta) and new Share feature.

Editor’s Note (9/25/2020): We’ve updated the post to reflect the Xbox app (Beta)’s availability for iOS as well as Android.

If I’m reading things right, any EA Play time you have will be converted 3:1 into GPU on November 10th. If this is correct, I’ll buy and redeem a year of EA Play just ahead of that and (hopefully) that’ll turn into 4 months of GPU for $30 ($7.50 a month). That should just about top me back up to 3 years :grin:

Am I misreading or missing anything obvious? Let me know!

Edit: I reached out to Microsoft Support. They confirmed that a year of EA Play will turn into four months of GPU, and (after a bit of digging for internal communications) that the conversion will happen automatically on the 10th of November. I asked about the 3-year GPU cap and, while the technician was a bit less certain, he assured me that the conversion would still work even if it chopped off extra months above 3 years. He was also very confident that Support could provide satisfaction in case the conversion failed totally.

Armed with this knowledge, I will buy my year of EA Play now. I’ll report back if anything goes horribly wrong.

How come Forza Motorsport 7 isn’t in the Xbox beta app?

I’d like to get it installed before it hits game pass.

If you’re looking for a good game to play during the month of Halloween and haven’t checked out RE7 yet, then check out RE7! This game is intense. Makes me excited to see what they do in their next first person Resident Evil. I may be in the minority but I like first person RE more than 3rd person. Not playing this game earlier was a miss on my part.

Finally time to try Brutal Legend. I heard it turned into an RTS or something equally unexpected pretty early on so I never gave it a shot but hey, the price is right.

For those who’ll play Brütal Legend or Forza Motorsport 7, there are plenty of free DLC available for both of them.

Now that Forza 7 is mine digitally (it’s one of my few frequently played games that I have on disc) I’ll definitely play it more. Now all I need is Quick Resume, which will eliminate the long waits and the need to dedicate long sessions for the longer races.

Wow, I never thought about that ! Maybe I’ll finish those god damn long races now.
