For those whose $2 game pass has run out there's now a $1 for 1 month offer running until January.

On top of that the 6 month renewal is also 50% off until January and can apparently be stacked for 3 years worth of game pass.

In my case it was one of the ranks in the mages guild, warlock I believe.

I love these deals. I still haven't ever paid full price for Game Pass because of these.

TBH I'm mostly looking forward to see what new games come to Game Pass and backwards compatibility. I'd really like to see them start bringing more 360 exclusives over.

I've never played PUBG, but it looked like a lot more action packed than how I hear matches typically go.

Main takeaway so far seems to be Microsoft going all-in on their Game Pass.

Are they going to bother to show anything that might make someone want to buy an Xbox?

Also, the fake crowd cheering every 5 seconds is irritating.

They had a "New Studio Acquisitions" bit at the end of their presentation schedule, hopefully that will show something new.

Yeah news broke a few weeks ago they were in talks. Interested to see what they have them do considering all the writers people cared about years back moved on and the studio was transformed into an isometric crpg factory

Maybe they can work with inXile and bring out a good Wasteland game? If we're really lucky Microsoft will support them and they'll be able to make a game with good production values that isn't forced to be released months before it should.

That press conference was really bad for MS but great for publishers of mulitplatform games who just got free advertising for the games that people are going to buy on PC/PS4.

Also, lol at the amount of shovelware being added to gamepass. I think i bought a lot of those games for 3 quid a pice on Steam a couple of years ago.

Sounds like you got ripped off cause now they're just some of the 100s of games available for free on Game Pass.

We know about Obsidian but buying inXile means they can reform Black Isle Studios!

Wasteland 3 has already been crowdfunded and is in development, it comes out sometime next year. So I guess MS will give them a funding boost for all dialog to be recorded as audio and other improvements while for console it'll be an xbone exclusive.

I have to say that I didn't think I would want to keep subscribing to Game Pass but its really becoming quite good. I've been having a blast playing Forza Horizon 4 over the past month and am really looking forward to the upcoming stuff.

I was also about to buy Ori so glad I don't have to now.

Or even just announcing the next Games with Gold titles next month ahead of time.

They confirmed mouse and keyboard support but didn't even tease Age of Empires which could now come to xbone in the future.
