What's Discord Nitro?

Just a premium monthly sub for Discord, Kinda pointless really just extra emoji and other little things to use for an Xbox gamer it really offers nothing other than the free Gamepass codes for redeeming it.

Bleeding Edge will be $30. Good price, hope it does well. The tech tests are very fun.

Everyone who is currently subscribed to Gamepass needs to take advantage of the Discord Nitro offer by scrolling down to the Xbox Gamepass tile on the new dashboard and clicking "Claim Ultimate Gift" Once you register your Discord Nitro you get a choice of either 3 months Gamepass for Xbox or PC and if you currently have Ultimate you can register than code and it converts to 2 months of Ultimate.

I almost never did this as I thought it would be for new customers only or the Gamepass codes wouldn't work if you had Ultimate but in turn it basically just became a free 2 month Ultimate sub. I haven't registered the EA Access month yet but that looks to work also as long as your not on a current sub so I will do that at some point to play a few games that were added recently.

There is apparently a caveat here, however. Trying this here in Germany, with a German gamepass sub, when I attempt to redeem the code you get from discord nitro, it says that I'm already a gamepass subscriber in a different region…..so once again, it appears these offers are really US/UK only. Which is really dumb.

Nvm actually, I got it to work. Apparently my MS account was still registered to the US region, even though I haven't lived there in ages now, and I was fairly certain I'd changed it some time back. Anyway, after I set the account to German, the code worked fine.

Definitely looks like Flight Sim is not 2020 for Xbox, only lists PC now.

Gears Tactics is still schedule for 2020 according to the Gears leaker on Era.

Flight sim still says Xbox One/PC available 2020 on it's official page

Interestingly scroll down to the bottom and it just says "Xbox" and Windows 10 where as other announced games such as Everwild and Halo Infinite specifically say Xbox One and Windows 10.

Just saw this by accident:

I doubt the Game Pass crew knows the specifics of the game, so they're probably just repeating the official statement from a while ago.
Either way, this will see a Scarlett release and I don't know why someone would play this on X1. The difference between a X1 version and Scarlett version should be quite big.

The Talos Principle is pretty good. I already like it way more than The Witness (which I thought was barely above average).

Yeah I'm still a little sceptical on an actual native Xbox One release of Flight Sim, Going to kill the jaguar cpu of the One, I'm expecting it to be a Scarlett launch window title and maybe the  Xbox One version is the Scarlet version played through xCloud.

Glad to see that MS managed to renegotiate a licensing agreement with them. They also renegotiated a licensing agreement with Mitsubishi shortly after Forza Horizon 4 released. All the big JP car makes are back in Forza now, just in time for Forza Horizon 5 set in Japan xD

Just thinking about a next gen Forza Horizon 5 set in Japan makes me wet.

Sadly, I've only played about 10 hours in each FH3 and FH4. I'm holding off because I want to play them with the racing wheel I bought earlier this year. The problem is that I can't properly set it up in my room (basically the table in front of my TV sucks). Feels really uncomfortable. In 1-2 years I will probably move into my own house and buy myself a nice racing seat for my gaming room. Until then no Forza for me.

Game Pass Quests? Is this something new or expanded regions maybe? with daily, weekly and monthly quests that prompts you to hold Guide and turns them in for Reward points?
First time I've ever seen them
