Xbox Game Pass for PC

You’d think rtx Q2 would have been much more likely to show up but Q1 is a much better game so it’s the better choice!

Q1, Q2 and Q3 Arena have all been added.

On console I mean for Q2 rtx as a kind of ray tracing showcase thingy. Though it being an Nvidia developed thing maybe they wouldn’t want it on the ati console hardware?

You shouldn't need to as it is on PC Game Pass, might have been a release day bug?

Yeah, checked again just now and it's included. Maybe it hadn't finished propagating around the CDN or something.

Just an observation, I mean, I am 100% a fan of Gamepass, but...

"Forza Horizon 5, pre-install now to play on day one"

What? The game releases in fucking November. 4 months away. So two thoughts:
1 - Is there anyone who has the 96Gb this is apparently going to require just going begging that they don't mind an inert slab of code squatting in?
2 - How on earth is it available for pre-load already?

Don't get me wrong I love the Forza games and will be all over this, but seriously?

You can preload Stalker 2….

[Achtung Englander]

oh my gaaad

edit - I cannot find it

[Sly Boots]

Me either

[Alan]

Might just be the console one and I think it’s just a few meg to give you the pleasure of a useless stalker icon for a year or so. No chance it isn’t delayed


Edit

[Sly Boots]

Lol, won't worry about it just then, then

[Snowy]

But how bloody daft is it? Surely anything you pre-load now is completely useless and may not bear much resemblance to the finished game so why waste the bandwidth letting people download it?

Quake on Game Pass is fucking perfect.

I daren't play Q2 or Q3 any more. I used to have my reflexes honed to a degree that had taken the game to pure instinct, railgunning other players from across the maps. I can't think of something that would indicate the relentless passage of time and its effects more than dipping a toe back in those waters

I once watched a guy do a 1 vs everyone at a LAN party, comfortably. Those were the days...

Age of Empires 4 is now live on Game Pass. Heads up though, it requires over 130gb of free space to download before compressing down to its final size. I haven't managed to clear enough room for it yet.

Quite looking forward to trying it, even if it's just a safe take on AoE 2 with some added new ideas.

GTA San Andreas and the update for Skyrim are available from tomorrow. GTA can be preinstalled now.
