GTA can be preinstalled now.
I can't see it on the Gamepass app. Bit of an embarrassment of riches at the moment, bonus Breakpoint content plus the TGA Ghosts all rocking up daily for some shooting, plus Fora 5, now the remade San Andreas too. Too many games, too little time.

This is big for all those who have had issues with the Game Pass app due to disk space being eaten up even after uninstalling a game.

Halo Infinite Multiplayer has launched today, almost a month early. Surprises all round.

Please be true :o

There's also a mention of Cyberpunk 2077 coming as well but CDPR denied this.

I think it was always seen to be likely to come to GP, part of the reason (aside from cost!) that I didn't buy them already despite loving the franchise.

Rainbow 6 Extraction is day one Gamepass. I gave it a spin in one of the alphas and I was surprised how much I liked it since I really didnt like the coop event in Siege that it spawned from. It had quite an Aliens feel, good atmosphere. No idea if it'll stand up long term but its worth a few minutes of your time.

Hard to say since it was a really limited time in the alpha but also probably yes because I really didn’t like B4B :p It made me think more of Alien Swarm, that really great UT mod in feel, more methodical than a B4B.

Quite a positive preview…. Right enough most previews tend to be overly positive.

I am miffed with it just because the R6 franchise being crowbarred into a bloody Aliens game doesn't fit - get working on a successor to Wildlands ffs!

I have had a little look at the Aliens Fireteam Elite game on Gamepass this weekend, and that looks tidy. Will pop a suggestion in our Discord about getting a game of that going if folks are interested.

Don’t be daft. Who else other than their best would they send to fight aliens? It makes perfect sense!

Danganropa really doesn't sound my cup o' tea but am downloading Nobody Saves the World.

Co-op? :)

To be fair, its really not! :lol:

For coop, I'm the worst person for it. Only play games in the morning (or during the night on my days off) and I can never really guarantee a time.

Interestingly, Rainbow 6 Extraction (and possibly siege) dont play through the Gamepass app. Gamepass links to your Ubi account and you play the game as if it were just another Uplay title that you own. For better or worse....
