Bought XVI! I played it on PS5 (it was actually the game I bought the console for lol), but didn’t beat it. I just find it very difficult to stick with PS5 games when I’m thinking in the back of my mind that it could come to Xbox later.

Freaking awesome. Kinda interesting 16 is first, since it came out after FF7R but it’s fine.
I don’t see it in the store just yet though. Hoping it’s a nice price, kinda like how Death Stranding was 30 at launch on Xbox.
By the way, usually Xbox has a after show the next day don’t they? With dev interviews by Paris Lilly and such, not this time? I badly want to learn more about Double Fine’s Keeper.

No such luck. 
$50 for base game and $70 for complete edition with both DLCs.
I’m convinced that ROG Xbox Ally is their Steam Deck experiment. If you watch the behind the scene, the handheld is more of a handheld than original since there’s no Windows boot up, optimize all towards gaming, Xbox Game Bar being its own functionally, and seamless transition to other launchers. This PC power built with Xbox OS. I’m intrigued.

Mind you, this is just this year. Rest of this year.
I have to quit gaming.

Similar to my thoughts, though I’d swap Contraband for SoD 3, as we’ve seen sweet FA from the former.

Playing ff16 and the fps is noticeably bad, in cutscenes where nothing but characters talking is going on. I can see the game stutter and it doesn’t seem VRR is helping, because I can feel an issue with the frames that usually can lead to a headache.
In scenes where there’s a lot going on it gets even worse, also the auto climbing feels weird, just now it felt like it need a second to decide if it should activate.

Oh yeah, it was quite bad most of the trailer tbh, hope they smooth that out before release because it does look nice.
That sucks. Are there graphical modes or none of that? I do recall that PS5 had weird resolution issues or something when it released, but not sure about fps.
There’s a performance and resolution mode, I’m currently playing on performance in hopes that the VRR would help, since the game always had some issues on PS5.

By the way, I see people assuming online that the next Forza is Motorsport. But shouldn’t it be Horizon?
Motorsports was the most recent release so FH6 is the most likely.

I wasn’t expecting SoD3 tbh, I think that game is currently being planned for late 2026 to mid 2027, however I really would like to know if Everwild is on ice or what, because I’m really sad about Rare becoming a Sea Of Thieves DLC factory for over half a decade now, I really thought they would have one or two more games by now.
I wouldn’t expect another Motorsport for a while, I don’t think the last did that well and imo Turn 10 will have to go back to the drawing board and rethink some things while Playground seems to be running on all cylinders currently and may have a legendary year if both FH6 and Fable are critical hits.
Are you playing the full game or demo? I’m playing the demo now and I definitely see a inconsistent framerate during cutscenes. It can be smooth for a while and then all of a sudden it’s like characters move in slow mode and there are those micro stutters. During gameplay so far in graphics mode it’s fine.
I’m now in the part where Clive is training and I’ve switched to performance mode but the resolution takes such a huge hit, I don’t want to deal with these soft visuals, I can accept the 30fps.
I’d be very fine with that because FM just isn’t my thing, but Horizon, oh man let’s go! And yeah, agreed about Everwild, just give us an update if it’s even still a thing. Because it’s just rather silly now to be honest.
