I had some issue trying to sync up, but after I restarted my Xbox everything has been ok. So maybe live is back up, but we need to disconnect and reconnect?

There was an issue earlier but it has been resolved.

That’s the plan :sweat_smile: I looked at top paid games and the #1 item is the vault edition upgrade (gamepass version of the deluxe). No clue if those people were going to purchase COD, but I am sure Microsoft is happy about that and the potential of people buying battle passes

I was very dumb and bought the Windows Store Vault upgrade, so I am installing it on PC to try and redeem things…

Kinda wild that COD gives you so little unless you buy the $25/30 battle pass.

Made it easier for me to buy Visions of Mana, and I might actually get this but it’ll have to be down the line unfortunately, especially with Stalkers 2 and Indy to round off the year I won’t really have time to play anything else.

We need more devs doing this, makes me more confident in the Xbox ecosystem in the future and might do the same for newcomers as well.

Random Fact: US Most Played List hasn’t been updated in like over months. Now, it finally has and CoD has taken over Fortnite. Game Pass…

It’s fantastic!

DA is at #16. We don’t buy games? Ha!

Sparking Zero is at #23. No, really. We don’t buy games? HaHaHa!

Death Stranding is at #43. A game is never too old to buy, let alone a shadow drop alas Hi-Fi Rush minus the Game Pass.

The list is filled with variety. Back in 2020, it used to be like the usual titles like sports, CoD, and huge F2P. Now, it’s so colorful, you can make art out of the collection.

I think the vault content is tied to your COD account, so you should be fine. It’s a much longer grind if you buy the regular battle pass, but you do get cooler stuff with the vault edition version.

Did Metaphor chart well? I am enjoying that game alot and I remember seeing it in the top 20 most paid list on launch week.

Hard to say now because the list just got updated today and it hasn’t been updated since September or perhaps late August. It’s not in there, but I would bet it did chart somewhere. Right now, it’s filled with very popular titles and newly releases like Dragon Age and Death Stranding. Shame it wasn’t updated during its release. It’s been little over a month.

Wow, I didn’t realize gamepass gives you a 10% discount on COD coins and DLC. I wish they can do that with Overwatch because I usually buy coins and season bundles

The currency and some other things appeared platform-locked and I couldn’t get it to run on my PC so I just asked for a refund and got it overnight.

wow, if you’re Canadian and don’t have a series x now is the time to get it. Currently, Walmart and Amazon are selling the series x (disc model) for $389 CDN. That’s like $300USD if you include taxes

Series X digital is selling best compare to rest of Series in Japan. I mean it’s no Switch or PS, but it is selling fine for a challenging platform race in a challenging nation of preference (mainly due to mobile domination). So it seems that being digital only isn’t the problem, for Xbox wise.

Yeah I couldn’t resist, tempting price and also saw DF say it’s an incredible port so just copped it. Will try to give it a real chance this time.

Series S is said to be really good as well. So much for the engine not capable of Xbox.
