I just started RDR2 after having it installed since release. It's been hard for me to get into since I'm not a big fan of rockstar gameplay. The game is gorgeous so far.

Outer Wilds is out on epic game store and included with xbox game pass on xbox



Buy Outer Wilds - Microsoft Store

seems to be getting pretty good reviews. sadly you can't get a pc version with gamepass.

This is NOT the game Outer Worlds which is an RPG from ex fallout/etc devs, at first i thought it was and got super excited.

Probably can't be Play Anywhere because of the Epic Store arrangement.

That's the game that was crowdfunded while promising Steam keys, only to be cunts and make it an Epic exclusive when money was thrown at them, shitting all over the people that made the game possible in the first place.

Operencia is Play Anywhere despite being an Epic sell-out.

Most games just aren't Play Anywhere and Game Pass for PC isn't that great unfortunately. I was excited to see Void Bastards on Game Pass today too, but nope, you can't get that on PC either. At least it's on Steam, but $30 seems a bit steep for what it is.

They posted on Reddit last year they intended for the title to be Play Anywhere, so figured the Epic Store deal changed that, perhaps not.

Yeah, I'm don't doubt that making the deal with Epic is what caused them to drop Microsoft, just saying it doesn't appear that Epic forces them to like they do with Steam. They probably felt they got enough money out of that deal to not need to have a second one with MS too. It's the same publisher as Ashen, which isn't available on Windows 10 Store at all and it appears to be the same for Outer Wilds.

Edit: Also possible that Epic does try to shut out MS too, but the Operencia devs were contractually obligated to remain on Windows Store/Play Anywhere and the Epic deal came later and couldn't get around it.

As for the GwG games, I've been playing the a lot of NHL lately, it's in the EA Access vault.

The game was fun enough once you got all the movement abilities but that takes at least 3-4 hours. The super slow start probably drives a lot of people away.

Highly unlikely. They said starting at 19.99, which is probably just God of War. Spider-man likely 25 or 30, and I'd guess 40 for Days Gone.


I find it really weird that they always make the limited edition consoles non-pro.

Days Gone still worth it at 40$ though, good game with a lot of shit too do all over, the map.

We're expecting the new Xbox consoles to come with an all-new OS, based on Windows Core OS, which we've been covering for some time now. Expect an all-new dashboard based on the Fluent Design System, with the speed and fluidity at the forefront. The next Xbox will be fully backward compatible with the existing library on your Xbox One, including X360 and OG Xbox back compatibility. At launch, we've heard there won't be any "Xbox Scarlett"-exclusive games. For at least a few years, games will ship on both the Xbox One consoles and on the new Scarlett consoles, as is typically the case during a generational transition.

Free NHL 19? Might be the first sports game I'll have played since Madden.... 09? Whichever one had Favre on the cover.

In a hotel, and brought my Ps4, instead of my gaming laptop for the week. Wanted to try and bust out some Uncharted, but I don't have any internet. PS4's can't handle the captiv portal thing that hotels do to connect to wifi, but will it even matter? It'll just upload my saves to the cloud once I'm back on the internet, and until then just be local?
