    +1 for Steep. Super underrated game. My go-to for when I feel like chilling out

    • Does Steep support cross-console play?

      • +1

        Unfortunately not but theres still heaps of people online. Even more when it's added to game pass.
        Their next game "Riders Republic" will be cross-platform though.

    • Keen to give it a go. Before now the price was a bit steep.

      • +3

        Too obvious dude

        • Too obvious dude

          Must be too much testosterone if it's too obvious I'm a dude.

    Gamepass is the gift that keeps on giving. Haven't bought a game since subscribing.

    • +4

      Xbox generally keeps on giving. They just added FPS Boost to a huge number of titles…

      https://twitter.com/majornelson/status/1389248724686098432?s…

      • What is FPS boost?

        • Essentially, framerate boost without game developers changing code. Some games can now run 120fps. However, for some games on Series X, that means you need a 4K TV with HDMI 2.1 support (with working 120fps implementation). There are old games which are locked to 1080p (due to XBox One code), those could work at 1080p/120fps.

          • @netsurfer: More importantly are the 30fps games being boosted to 60fps.

  • What does cloud mean in the case of RDO? can I play it on pc

    • +1

      For Australia, not much. It’s still not officially released here and I think accessing cloud gaming through a VPN is just a bad experience.

      The service only went into beta for PC a few weeks ago. I think iOS too.

      It is officially available on Android devices.

      Edit.
      For those unaware, cloud gaming is a perk for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

      • +1

        Ahhhhhhhh so cloud literally means clouding gaming. As in I log into a website, somehow somewhere a computer starts up RDO and I essentially stream it to my computer but I’m the one playing. Eeeek that sounds terrible for Aussie internet.

  • +2

    Mannn I accidentally gave a negative vote and now I can’t give a positive.

    I am stoked for what is available on PC, especially Just Cause 4.

  • +5

    FFX. Still my favourite of them all

    • This was the one that stopped me playing them.

      No world map? Just go forward? Nah.

      • Really? That could be forgiven for an incredible story

      • Technically, there is a world map towards the end but not the same as FFVII - FFVIII. Also some of the levels/worlds were pretty open world like Calm Plains

        • There are also Final Fansaty games before VII, with world maps.

          This Zone stuff is BS.

          Thank god for Dragon Quest to keep it old school.

  • Red Dead - I assume this means the single player content is not included?

    • +1

      Correct (for Red Dead Online). No Arthur, no Lenny.

      • LENNY

        • YNNEL

    • +1

      Read Dead was available last year for about 3 months. I played it during boring zoom meetings whilst in lockdown.

  • -1

    Really regret RDO, even at the 7.50 I paid. Bought it solely because I thought there'd be solo and friend only sessions like GTA Online, I just wanted to (profanity) around with the missus once in a while online but cannot be bothered dealing with randos (not to mention I'm happy to save 130 odd gig of storage too), so I was already regretting it, but now that it's on Game Pass, the Cloud one too which makes me think it'll stick around longer than RDR2 did, bummer.

    I'll never get tha $7.50 back, rest in pepperoni.

    • I bought RDR2 on the PS4 and played RDO with my friend. The first 2 hours were great, but after that it was boring. Not a whole lot to do imo. Mind you, this was last year.

      • +3

        Hasn’t improved a lot. Same shit, different treadmills. I tried really hard to get into it, too. Oh well.

    • Bought RDR2 digital version recently (used to own physical version), didn't realise there is a version for just the story (without the online part). Oh well…

  • +1

    Ah gamepass, the eternal struggle to juggle every last MB of free space each month

    • And why our NBN is still so expensive and slow.

  • So the perks games are free to keep forever even after the subscription ends?

    • The 2 games mentioned as perks are not games, but DLCs/add-ons. You get to keep those. The rest of the "games" you lose access once your subscription ends and/or when the games are removed from Gamepass

  • Does anyone know how to get it work on chromebooks?
    Joined Game Pass Ultimate but cannot download any pc games…..

    • Unless you install Windows 10, you can't.

      • In that case, I paid $1 for nothing LOL

        • You will be able to stream games to your browser in the near future so try again when it's launched, it's in beta now in other countries.

          • @Mooncakes: Yes I was under the impression it is available in Australia oh well….hopefully soon

  • +1

    Spotify Premium (New Member Only)

    Ugh

  • Mine keeps on saying I cant claim perks, what do I do?
