I’m still kinda worried about GP numbers since they have been quiet on it for so long

I think they are just waiting for the inevitable mega boosts with FH5 and Halo Infinite.

Kinda same. Few months ago, I was a lot more confident in the idea that they could hit 30 mill subs by end of year than I am now.
I think it will be in the 25-27 range by EOY

For Game Pass, I just think they want to announce a milestone like 30 millions, instead of announcing something like 26-27.

I think growth is limited by the amount of SKU’s being sold. I didn’t purchase Game Pass until I got the new console. There are more and more games that aren’t playable on Xbone so it feels like a worse deal. Growth is also limited on PC because the Windows store is awful, hopefully we will see some improvement on that front come October.
I didn’t frame removing Gold as a reaction to the PS showcase and wasn’t drawing a connection to the showcase at all. I don’t think they need to or will react to Sony having good news. Instead I’m framing it as capitalizing on negative sentiment from the fanbase by offering another significant positive comparison point. Gold ending is an eventuality in my mind, though it’s likely some time away.

Looter shooter for PS5 and PC.
Did the number increase when Outriders landed on Game Pass on day one? It’s a great approach for MS, especially for us if they succeed in it. The Medium, Outriders, Stalker 2 is a good start and of course smaller games like The Gunk and such, but like you said AAA is what gets people to subscribe and I really hope they will manage to get many more big companies/games on board.

Bastian I dont see how September is “Lazy”. Psychonauts launched so late into August you might as well could tack it into game pass September, State of Decay 2 just got a big update for free, Aragami 2 and Lemnis Gate all dropping day 1 into Game Pass along with a dozen other AA stuff dropping.
No other big release was coming to game pass this month because they didnt need it. The “big games” that are launching on GP have been The Show (MLB went behind Sony to cut the deal), Outriders (Square wanted a check and userbase), The Medium and Back 4 Blood that has gotten a so so reception after the betas and wants a secure userbase. Literally there is a template of third party AAA games launching into the service which is why the rumors of BF and similar made no sense. Xbox cant get everygame to launch there if they dont want to.

So Tales of Arise and Lake are not in GP ? I thought at least Lake would be. I liked the E3 demo.

Seems like the 4K120HZ DV update is starting to roll out in regions. Update 3.30.05.

This was actually revealed a month ago as opposed to being on the PlayStation YouTube channel. Looks great but from what I have read, it’s a free to play game which completely kills my interest in the game.
After that tweet a few months ago it really seemed like this was going to happen, but nope, sadly not. I probably won’t buy it day one simply because of the backlog really.

sometimes such breather months are welcome. I have to go through Psychonauts 2, Hades -again before Arigami 2 and Lemnis Gate.
