Kinda of redundant to point out to GPU members that they can play these games for free for a few days.....when they can already play them off GP whenever they want.

I think they will wait to close the Bethesda deal. That said:

This does a deep dive into potential companies. Long story short: MS goes for private companies due to easier process and less paper work. Top 2 were Sega and Valve with Valve being the ultimate decision due to its IPs, VR tech, and especially Steam being the biggest storefront in PC gaming (to push Game Pass). 

Sega a secondary choice for iconic IPs and would cement their position with Japanese games. Capcom being the top choice for public company due to a solid ratio of price and IPs to their name. 

As for smaller companies, I say Asobo is a no brainer. Flight SIM will be supported for years with heavy dlc and Plague Tale is exactly the type of game Xbox needs more of. 

Cyberpunk can be pre-loaded right now. It's 60GB.

Xbox Series doing quite well in Japan, all things considered it's coming out of a gen where it sold less than 120k (all xbox one versions combined)

Meanwhile xbox one was late to the party sure, like 1 year too late, but x360 fan base was quite hardcore and had a very decent size to it.

Thanks. I noticed it started updating before. Surprised it's only 60GB.

Played some of the Madden 21 next update. The jump is graphics is decent but the more realistic player movements, the new play calling system, and how they made the crowds and sidelines more alive definitely feel next gen.

Bought Splinter Cell Blacklist in a recent sale and it holds up quite well thanks to the Xbox One X enhancements.

Character models are a bit blocky but the rest of the game looks quite nice. It also plays well.

Shame there hasn't been a current gen sequel...

I'm kinda doing a 360 revival lately. Also bought Prince of Persia and Max Payne 3 since I never completed those. Sucks that Max Payne isn't backwards compatible...

Dragon Age =(

So, is anyone considering downloading the emulation for older consoles like ps1&2, DS, Gamecube on their Series X/S?

Seems like it's a bit lengthy to do but not all that difficult.

Wait till that Gal*Gun hits ?
