Nice...still waiting for the Pixel Remasters.

16 seemed kind of meh, would rather get 7 Remake on Xbox, but I will probably play 16 on a sale or gamepass at some point.

8 hours?

Hellblade took me 6 hours and that was with me getting lost from time to time while searching for the collectables.

16 is a fantastic game and it’s western enough that you’ll definitely enjoy it :) 

Hellblade 2 being a sub 10hr game is perfectly fine, I mean look at the damn game, nothing visually comes close …your want them to spend another 5yrs on it just so it’s double in length? lol

Definitely the years first major hit, Game Pass off to a great start.

Unfortunately the Windows Store version is behind the Steam version in patches because the Windows Store uses the Xbox certification process which is slower than Steam's and the Windows/Xbox version is missing things like dedicated servers so co-op is restricted to 2-4 players while on Steam it's 32 players.

Their previous game, Craftopia, has been in early access since 2020, Lol. All that time it has been Xbox console exclusive too.

Huh? This made me look up crossplay support and the Gamepass PC version can't play with the Steam PC version, that sucks. I wonder how many people with gamepass are just having to buy it anyway so they can play with all their friends who own it on steam.

But lmfao at those player numbers.

I'd guess that a lot of people on Windows Store only use Game Pass to test a game out, then if they like it, they will buy it on Steam, Lol.

Anyway, I think Palworld on Xbox/Windows is something like 1.0 while on Steam it's 1.2 since the Steam process for patches is a lot faster, I believe they confirmed cross-play between Xbox/Windows and Steam is coming though. They say dedicated servers on Xbox isn't up to them and they're trying to negotiate the issue with Microsoft, I know other games on Xbox have dedicated servers.

The numbers are insane and as we speak, 11am in the UK, it has 575k players, Lmao.

I wonder how high it will reach, the peak should be later today or tomorrow.

I feel almost like I'm missing out, I look at the game and something puts me off but all this makes me want to check it out

Xbox's variety is one of my favourite things about them

Now they're even adding the Sony created "1st or 3rd person with a strong focus on narrative" genre! Jk

For real, I love it, long may it continue and not everything will appeal to me but that's okay.

As of the moment this tweet was made, they were at 554k CCU on Steam, so that'd be 146k CCU on Xbox/Windows Store but obviously this tweet wasn't made the exact moment they hit 700,000 as it first hit 700k then they had to go to Epic to fix the issue with the servers and then they made this tweet so the Xbox/Windows Store CCU could be even higher.

Anyway, it has crossed 600k on Steam's CCU, LOL.
