Is TrueAchievements really an accurate way of measuring this? I believe they only scan their registered users, not the entire Xbox player base.

Ironically this is seemingly the only hope I have of gaming on a Series X for the foreseeable future…

I don’t have a series X to confirm but I assume the new edge would work? Since it’s based on chromium.

Might be worth checking your CPU usage when running it.

I’ve tried it over WiFi on less than 70/20 and over 4G with far less than 70/20 and not had any of the issues you’re describing.

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

From one gamer to another, Welcome to Xbox 👋

To be honest, most ES games age well. I could still play through Morrowind & Oblivion today and be very satisfied.

I was led to believe that those 180M gamers had high end gaming rigs? What happened to them?

Apps don’t consume CPU/GPU/memory resources when not being run, and can be uninstalled. Have you never used a PC before!?

“ Cheaper isnt better. But keep saying it 100 times. A good game is better then 100 crap.”

Except cheaper is better, I don’t like to waste money I don’t have to

Crap? This year I will have gotten MLB, Back4Blood, Flight Sim, Halo, Psychonauts 2, FH4 - all day one. Are you saying those games are bad?

“ The reality is that not even giving GP for free Microsoft, and putting all their games day one is getting the amount of gamers or any mor...

@Jin_Sakai DX12 is a game changer, for devs (and therefore for gamers), being able to use the same version on console and PC is a huge timesaver and results in higher quality games on PC.

DS is important, it’ll allow PC games to keep in line with the next gen games/consoles and allow devs to target one set of API’s for PC and Xbox.

So if you dislike DX12, what are you playing your PC games using? Most of my games are 11 or 12 now…

Huh? PC gaming is great, and almost exclusively done on Windows.

There’s a lot of bad things that can be said about windows bugs and stability etc, but like it or not, it’s part of the reason gaming is where it is today, and they’re the only OS trying to push gaming forward.

A PlayStation game pass with Sony exclusives in it would be immense, are you nuts?

Perhaps you just enjoy paying $70 for games you play once…

Workaround is out for this stupid requirement: https://mobile.twitter.com/...

MS need to step up and fix this, it’s ludicrous that such recent and capable hardware cannot run Windows.

@Chevalier Sounds like you’re pretty upset and triggered by this article. You might wanna take that up with the author - I didn’t write it 🙃

Not sure why you’re so upset though.

And my statement is accurate, game pass is great and it’s a recurring theme with Thundercat that any positive article == paid for.

So are we now pretending games like MLB are shit?

This year alone I would have bought MLB, Psychonauts 2, Halo, Back4Blood, MSFS and Forza Horizon 5.

That’s $370 this year (assuming the MS games stay $60 at retail). My GamePass ultimate sub is $180 this year, and it would be 120 if I didn’t care about EA/PC.

I also pay for PS+ and would be paying for gold if I didn’t have Ultimate, so technically I’m only paying out $120 for the above g...

$60 became $70 easily and $70 can easily become $80 if no one pushes back.

With $400-500 entry points and $70 a game, a lot of people are being priced out of gaming quickly.

“paying a forever fee isn't getting something for free”

It’s not free, but given that most games are a one and done situation, and that the GamePass catalog of games keeps changing, it’s a good deal and works out cheaper than buying those games at $70 really.

The Orange Box was insane value. I recently have been playing though TOB and Portal 2 again on XB1, and Black Mesa on PC.

The TF2 Xbox version is also like going in a time machine. Barely any of the modern updates. Kinda cool to see.

Still sad we never got Ep3 and HL3.

True, but they’re still capable processors, capable enough to run Windows 11.

This is just MS trying to force arbitrary requirements on people, when in reality it should be a warning saying “you don’t have a TPM, click here to learn what that means”

@phoenixwing

This may help out, but who knows if they’ll block this in the future:

There’s a certain irony that some of their very expensive surface devices like the Studio 2, which is still being sold, is not W11 compliant…
