I can remove the settings and store from being a tile on the main screen? How?

Maybe I misunderstood your statement, but content blocks on the main screen that you scroll up or down for are entitely under your control.

When viewing the Home screen on your console, press the View button ī•Š to customize, and then:

  • Select Add more to Home to choose between Games, People, and From Xbox features to add to your Home screen.
  • Highlight an existing tile, and then press the A button īŽ to move the tile to another place with the Directional pad (D-pad). Press the A button īŽ again to confirm the move.
  • Highlight an existing tile, and then press X button ī‹ to remove it from your Home screen.

Will you look at that? More GP praise by devs themselves.

I like it, except for Bethesda. No Doom guy as the mascot?

I would rather have Skyrim there. Thoough I guess those are the logos of the games releasing soon? Starfield then.

Microsof is the only tech giant left outside streaming universe. Some streaming platform will have to side with Microsoft sooner or later because they won’t be able to win against these money powerhouses.

So apparently PUBG is now 4K 60FPS on Xbox Series X. I loaded the menu and it seems like it. There’s no graphics options anymore, just the FOV and they added Anti Aliasing options (FXAA and TAA). That’s great. I’m giving it a go again !

Today is the first day since July 3rd that we won’t have a new video on the YouTube page. Hell of a streak for a fully volunteer group. Should have at least 2 or 3 reviews this week from the team, even during this dead period!

Yeah, I kinda feel Microsoft is going to get into entertainment/streaming. I think they don’t want to miss out on another major market again after they dropped the ball on mobile

Let us know how it looks and plays now. I remember still plenty of nasty jaggies on XSX but the framerate was smooth? It’s been at least a year that I played it last.

Well, it remains to be seen in what way they are gonna join it. Because so far they put their IPs into different streaming services right? Will they pull out Halo TV show from Paramount? Or Fallout TV show from Amazon Prime? They are already in a position where they provide the content to various platforms without owning their own (kinda similar to Sony but at least Sony has its own production capabilities), but they limit them as they have to rely on whether other studios and companies are interested in their IPs and have free slots to make the content.

For music their only option is Spotify.

IMO, MS doesn’t have a ton of confidence in their success in consumer markets (for obvious reasons) and won’t jump into markets just because some of their competitors are there.

They’d be better served continuing to invest in gaming, a market they can actually dominate in the future. Unlike streaming, which is extremely competitive and arguably over saturated.

Downloaded Raji, but I’m not seeing a Series enhanced logo on the tile.

Damn I hope it’s not Sony lol

Sony or no Sony

Xbox passed on Marvel years ago, and I’m afraid they still do. But I hope not. It was honestly great to see the Marvel logo on Xbox with Guardians of the Galaxy when I played it last week, and of course there’s Avengers but nowadays Marvel games I’m really starting to associate with Sony now. Willing to bet it’s the case here too. Ideally it’s multiplatform.

Also, was there news before about a BP game or is this just Grubb casually dropping this?

He mentioned just the other day he’d be dropping Marvel rumors/news next week.

I don’t know how many studios Sony is willing to devote to Marvel games, I kinda expect this to be a third party.

Edit: He did also mention it on an Xbox podcast. Would be poor form if they were Sony games lol
