I haven't seen the game with HDR yet though. However the latest update made it unstable on Series X and its a rather huge download just to try out for a bit. I would still be flying on PC anyway.

Next time I'm at the store I'll look out for Halo MCC, Gears 5 and State of Decay 2. They should all be cheap now. The Steelbook Forza 7 edition I got was only CAD 20. It popped up a whole bunch of achievements just installing the game lol. (Collector level, extra cars included I guess)

It already offered game pass for a dollar, but then it's CAD 16.99 per month. Live Gold is CAD 11.99 a month here. I didn't know it was that much already, CAD 144 a year just to play online, hmm. Ah it's half price for a 12 month digital code. Odd that wasn't on the menu on the system.

I'll stick to physical for now. Sunset overdrive is another one I missed last gen, that shouldn't be hard to find a copy off. And Quantum break. Got my shopping list together :)

Regular Game Pass is CAD 12 and Game Pass Ultimate (includes Game Pass PC and Xbox Live Gold) is CAD 17 a month.

Does live gold not exist anymore? Odd it wasn't an option on the console. Or is it the same nowadays, Live gold and regular gamepass.

I'm so confused lol. Now google tells me live gold is 12.99 a month here

I guess they reversed it, it's 11.99 / month on xbox.com

I get it now:
Live Gold: 11.99
Gamepass without online: 11.99
Gamepass PC: 11.99
Gamepass ultimate: 16.99

So pretty much still CAD 144 a year to play online plus 13% tax. CDKeys sells 12 months for CAD 65, much better deal if reliable. Still more than ps+ though, but I top that up on Black Friday. XBox should have deals on Black Friday as well.

I guess I'll wait for a free online weekend to test out the online waters in Forza. Not much point subscribing for one game only to find out it's just as big as a shit show online as in GT7!
