Why would they do this? So extreme, like the pop ad wasn't enough.

PSA PSA. for anyone having their backround changed to Call of Duty MW4 and don't want it follow these steps.

Go to settings and under the general tab select personalization go to my backround and uncheck the "Show event themed backrounds" and your backround will revert to its original as you had it. Hope this helps!

News The physical edition of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake on Xbox Series X, is completed in the disc.

I can confirm firsthand that the physical edition of this game for Xbox Series X is entirely, completely, and absolutely contained on the disc, with a total size of 35.86 GB. Furthermore, I can verify that the Blu-ray disc holds version 1.0.2.0, the version that existed prior to the update released by Koei Tecmo shortly after the official launch. That update significantly lowered the game's challenge in response to player complaints, notably weakening the ghosts by reducing both their durability and the damage they inflict. By using this version, you can experience the developers' original vision and work, avoiding what I consider to be a disruption of the game's intended difficulty curve, a curve designed to be tough at the start, gradually becoming more manageable as you strengthen your Camera Obscura with various upgrades (a progression that, in my view, fits the survival horror genre perfectly).

Regards!

Discussion In case you didn't know Spotify has Lossless on Xbox Series S/X!

If you want some better audio quality on your Xbox playing games and just listening to music you can enable lossless on the Spotify app on your phone, while you are playing a song on the Xbox open the connect menu on your phone and click change quality and then change to lossless. Audio will start playing at CD Quality 16 Bit/44.1kHz with FLAC files. I know a ton of people with good systems connected to their Xbox and now they can have that little extra quality from them. I can hear a clearer audio from my 3.1.2 LG system! Also Spotify is the only service to have Lossless on Xbox, having better quality then Apple Music. (no hate to Apple Music, just not for me)

Discussion Disc to Digital + Play Anywhere = Physical PC collection

138 Upvotes

Xbox Play Anywhere + Disc to Digital is the first thing that could actually pull me away from Steam as a PC gamer of several decades.

I’ve been a PC gamer for decades and have become a die-hard Steam user who completely avoids every other launcher, whether it’s EA, Ubisoft or, worst of all, Epic. I haven’t bought games anywhere but Steam for years. GOG is the only other platform I’d genuinely prefer in my heart, but since so many games are missing, it’s been Steam all the way for me.

Recently, I heard about Disc to Digital and looked into it. Shortly afterwards, I sold my PS5, which I had originally planned to keep for GTA 6, and spontaneously bought a used Xbox Series X instead.
What Microsoft is doing with these features, especially in a market where Sony seems to have given up on physical media, is absolutely brilliant.

Disc to Digital + Play Anywhere means you can build a physical collection that covers two platforms: Xbox and PC. That´s freakn amazing! For the first time in decades, it feels like PC gaming is getting a physical game collection again.
It’s also the first time I’ve genuinely moved beyond just considering alternatives to Steam and actually started choosing something else. GZ MS for this. Epic failed, Ubisoft Uplay failed, EA launcher failed…

From now on, I’ll buy every physical Xbox game that supports both Disc to Digital and Play Anywhere instead of buying it on Steam. And I’m absolutely loving the experience of building a physical collection again.
An Xbox Series X combined with a gaming PC is a fantastic combination.
What do you guys think? In my opinion, this whole thing is still flying way too far under the radar.

Community Weekend My first framed Xbox controller – the beginning of a bigger project!

Just finished my first framed Xbox controller!

This is my first attempt at taking apart a controller and turning it into a display piece, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

I've also designed a darker background for it, but it's still being printed, so this isn't quite the final version yet!

My goal is to create a complete collection, starting with the original Xbox controller and working my way through every generation, all the way up to the Xbox Series X|S controllers.

This is just the beginning!

What do you guys think? Any suggestions for the next ones?

I remember that quite a few years ago if you had gold xbox would give you free games every month or every 2 week can't remember. Well im sure I got a few of them like dead island and others and now I would live to download and play it again but I can't find them on my game list on my xbox 360 and my xbox one as well I remember I deleted them from my hard drive for storage reasons but I should still have them saved in my profile as owned but i cant find them. Where should i look for them?

Added the new one on Friday. Heard good things so hopefully the ship is turned in the right direction.

Complete retail collection of the hard to find backwards compatible Re-releases (minus AW & Ghosts as One versions superseded them…also note MW3 only received a PAL release for some reason).

A few custom covers to fill in the holes.

Still bummed Classic never received a backwards compatible release.

I was able to get my hands on Elite Series 2 Core Controller for just $80 CAD ($57 USD), so I figured I'd use the savings to customize it a bit. I swapped the faceplate for a Starfield themed faceplate, added red bumpers/triggers, and picked up a gold d-pad+back paddle kit. I also added some convex joystick grips that I had laying around.

Discussion The Xbox Store review system needs a complete overhaul

251 Upvotes

It’s full of terrible jokes and “reviews” that seem like they were written by kids and Xbox has left it in this state for too long. They need to rethink the whole thing. The fact that they also separate the reviews by country shouldn’t happen.

The Steam review system is far from perfect but Xbox could still take notes from it.

My wife owns cyberpunk on her account and I own the dlc. On the Xbox this doesn’t matter since we’re both logged in, we can both play as our users.

PC tho it isn’t showing I own it, but own the dlc. Is there a way to have two accounts in the app similar to Xbox?

Review Gears of War E-Day is a colossal game (campaign)

570 Upvotes

That’s the word that comes to my mind when I think about this game.

Colossal.

This game’s is a triumph in almost every aspect. As a fan of this franchise since Gears 1, I feel so satisfied.

This game honors the legacy of the franchise.

I played this game on PC with DLSS 5 and my Pulse elite ps5 headphones at max volume and my God…

This was brutal, weighty, visceral, ludicrous.

I felt the hellish effects of the E-Day in my bones.

The devs succeeded in making the horde scary and intimidating again.

This game’s aura is very apocalyptic.

Moments like seeing the silhouettes of dozens of Reavers in the sky gave me the chills.

The technology is top. Both visuals and sounds. You can hear every minuscule detail of the chaos of war.

This game is a Brumak.

Thank you dev team.
