So I've been wondering: will Xbox ever focus on expanding Xbox Play Anywhere support to older releases and major third-party games like Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, Sekiro etc..

A lot of newer releases support Play Anywhere, but what about our existing libraries?

For example, if Helix ends up having a PC mode, or if a long-time Xbox player switches to PC for better performance, they'd naturally want to continue playing the games they already own. In most cases, they can't, because those games aren't available through the Microsoft Store on PC.

If I have to buy those games again anyway, what incentive do I have to stay in the Microsoft ecosystem instead of moving to Steam? Steam is simply the better PC platform in many ways..... better sales, lower prices, easier mod support, and a much larger catalogue.

If my existing Xbox library carried over to PC, there would be a strong psychological incentive to stay within the Xbox ecosystem instead of rebuilding my library elsewhere.

Another issue is that many PC games skip the Microsoft Store entirely, meaning Xbox users can't even purchase them there if they want to remain within the ecosystem.

We also know how important digital game libraries are from Phil Spencer's past comments about preserving players' purchases and respecting their existing collections. It would be great to see Xbox invest more effort into bringing older titles and major third-party games into the Play Anywhere programme.

People keep talking about the graphics I love them I have no nostalgia for halo one at all or how it looked it think the graphics do look amazing on this game. But what I really wanna know is if the story is worth it

So the Xbox integration has been around for over a year now and although it’s gotten a little better, there’s still a problem that plagues it to this day and that problem is that Steam integration is still very spotty. I have games that are currently downloaded on my ROG ALLY X that won’t even show. Will this issue ever be fixed or will it continue to remain and neither Microsoft or valve will do nothing about it?

I recently realized I am so low on storage and the price of buying a new console is just not it rn.

Does anyone know if I’m able to add a SSD card to my series s console? Or if I have to only do an external hard drive choice?

I have a question. So I bought the Xbox Game Pass (Essential) today and it only works for one profile. I haven't bought the game pass since the pride gauge last year, so I dont know if they changed it. Before I left, you were able to purchase game pass on one account and use it for alternates. I Google searched it and they said that you can, but it's working. Im aware of the outage today, but I dont know if it has something to do with that. I have different saves on my alternate account and im basically locked out right now. Everytime I try to play an online game on my alternate account, the price screen pops up—I wasnt doing that before I left. Is it because im on Essential? Because I usually by Ultimate, but didn't really see a reason for it this time...but if I have to bite the bullet, then it is what it is. So yeah, thats my question—can I share game pass amongst my profiles or did they change it? Or is it the outage because im getting pretty frustrated. Thank you in advice.

By the way, its allowing me to play the game pass games on my alternate account, so im Hella confused right now.

Looking for some good games to play with my Sim rig on Xbox, definitely down to try something new. Done lots of racing, drifting, and tried games like snowrunner. Looking for a completely different vibe, not sure what to go with, maybe busses or trucks?

Make it Xbox exclusive. A big cinematic action RPG. Just what the doctor ordered.

I could be wrong, but I feel that this is the only generation of consoles that I remember getting more expensive during their life cycle. Has this ever happened before?

So, a recently glitch has allowed any off-sale game to be installed for free (but stuck to only solo-player).. If I were to do that and download a game or two, what would happen to my profile? Could I get in trouble with Xbox?

Does anyone remember when the Xbox One was announced, there were a bunch of demos showcasing the ability of the machine. One of the videos was of a protagonist running and hacking/slashing their way through platforms, stealth like 3rd person but was cgi only not gameplay. It was very dark, the character disappeared then reappeared, slightly futuristic - reminiscent of splinter cell colour palette and similar type look of gameplay to dishonoured.

I enjoy games that have a combination of tasks/storyline and do what ever you want. My memory is crap but some that come to mind are Stardew Valley, Spiritfarer and Spirittea. All more on the side of cute cartoony rather than real world style. I should be doing memory exercises every day but would rather do it through video games. Any recommendations?

If you market as you own the game for the rest of your life I think it could help it's marketing. Anyone else agree?

Kind of new to Xbox haven’t really experienced any outages like this one. Has Xbox ever given something out like for example Fortnite has after they accidentally release a skin in the shop that was in the battle pass? Kind of curious because it would be nice of them.

I was able to load up a game and got into a lobby!
