I hope you are not trying to imply that Kena and Stray are bigger than Balastro..

Tastes and all that and I'd understand if the type of game isn't everyone's cup of tea but they literally just added Balatro which is one of the biggest indies available right now, Lol. It's likely bigger than Stray and Kena combined, it is at the very least, far bigger than Kena. So they did just add one of the "biggest ones" for indie games.

January had Ninja Gaiden 2: Black (not an indie) and Citizen Sleeper 2 which both launched to great reviews. Some of those titles you listed as reviewing well reviewed in line with titles like Eternal Strands and Sniper Elite, both day one on Game Pass in January. February had an AAA RPG from Obsidian with strong reviews.

In the first couple weeks of March, it adds Monster Train and Mullet Madjack, both with better reviews than all of the games that you listed there, Lol. You could have picked some better examples to make your point I'm not really seeing this big decline that some others are implying Tbh. But if it's not for you then simply cancel, Lol.

I'd concede there's a quantity drop but I was expecting that anyway, once Microsoft started to fire on all cylinders for 1st party there was obviously going to be a quantity drop, they'll want to promote their own titles and cut some costs, this would have always been the plan, and we're about at the point of them releasing a title every month and an AAA every quarter, still with 3rd parties sprinkled in but not as many as before.

Idk though, I think Microsoft needs to start announcing monthly line-ups instead of half months, we went through this with January and they ended strong, I find the looking at what is coming to Game Pass and making assessments of it every week a bit useless, it's not like I am running out of stuff to play on Game Pass, but then again, you likely are because of how fast you burn through games, Lol.

I'm on board with a CE remake, as long as it includes a remake of every CE MP map and has it's own online (unlike when they just did a map pack for Halo Reach with CE anniversary)

What if they change the movement to Halo Infinite's? 👀

I don't really care for Steam data.

On TA, Stray is about 3 to 4 times bigger than Balatro before it got added to Game Pass.

It's bigger than Kena though but only because both Kena and Stray were PC/PS timed exclusive for so long.

Latest rumors state that Gears of War collection coming in May or summer - for Playstation, Xbox and PC.

I'm still likely gonna be playing OG Gears of War 3 on my Xbox Series X and will likely get the collection later.

I wonder if the collection will have Judgment or if its just the first 3 games and wonder what changes 2 and 3 will have and if 1 will get anything beyond Ultimate.

More new games for PlayStation users, more old games for Xbox users.

Still no Final Fantasy. Still no Black Myth Wukong. Still no Stellar Blade. Still no Silent Hill 2 remake. That's on Xbox of course.

That shouldn't bother most of you though, since most of you own PS5s anyway, then come here to tell me why I should just be happy about the state of Xbox.

I guess I'll just be happy then
