Got my Series X on Monday and I have to say I’m loving it. Jumping around yo all sorts of game pass games like Slay the Spire, Outer Worlds, Dragon Age 1, Sea of Thieves, and Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. It is really great getting to check out all these games I’ve heard about for years but never had the time or the motivation to drop $30-$60 for them. Definitely going to fire up Control when that becomes available also.

Then... this will be the Winter of Cyber Punk. Pretty sure thats all I’m going to play for a couple months.

Series X is great, I like it a lot. But Game Pass really is the star.

Sea of Thieves really is a beautiful game and the difference between xbox one and series x is pretty dramatic.

Incredibly fun/hilarious too if you have friends to play with.

Neoverse is good, it's a Slay the Spire-style game.

Can still convert up to 3 years of regular live to ultimate too using that deal. People saying it gives you the extra 2 months over the normal 3 years. And I think still get an extra month each time you add a live card and do auto renew, then turn it off, then back on each card.

Actually I just resubbed for $1, I was on the $3 plan they had last year.

So not new users only!

Edit: friend just tried to get it as well but it takes the offer away after they signed in. They had subbed more recently so I guess it's new accounts or if your account hasn't been on a sub after a period of time, mines was last subbed a year ago.

Just a reminder that EA Play is supposed to be coming to PC Game Pass on the 15th. That's this Tuesday!

Pretty cool that they're putting Y3-5 + 6 on Game Pass from day one of the series' release on Xbox/PC. (1/28/21 for 3-5 and 3/25/21 for 6.)

Less cool that I bought the Remastered Collection on release day for PS4 and never got around to playing it. :/

apparently upgrading to ultimate makes the xbox app no longer recognize your subscription and you have to run your games out of the far less user friendly microsoft store.

That's not the case for me? I use the Xbox App, which basically is like Steam, but for Gamepass games only?

Yeah, not having that issue at all. Xbox app isn't great, but it's always worked fine for me.

Maybe it's just a temporary hiccup but it happened right after I upgraded to ultimate. I'd be really pissed if I hadn't figured out the microsoft store workaround.

when you say "app" do you mean phone app or windows 10 xbox app?

I see the same exact error in the windows 10 app in settings, I assume its the usual W10 POS kinda thing. Doesn't matter though, you click manage and takes you to website. I've never actually used the app to do much other than click on game pass games and download, which does run the Windows 10 store. Its all held together with duct tape on PC.

I mean the windows 10 xbox app. If I try to launch the game through the xbox app it tries to sell me game pass. I assume it won't even let me install stuff through the app anymore either. EA play better fucking work right tomorrow.

Tried just signing out and back in? Just refresh everything, perhaps reinstall the Xbox app too.

I log into Windows 10 with a different account than I have my Gamepass under, and it constantly is fucking me and not remembering what account to use for the MS Store/Xbox. It is a little funky sometimes with recognizing that I have Ultimate, but usually can refresh a games page or go back out and in and it works fine.

It started working again. Also rereading it, I didn't even need to upgrade to ultimate to get access to EA play tomorrow although it did save me ~30 bucks by giving me three months for a dollar so maybe i'll just cancel and switch back to normal game pass for pc in march.

That's horseshit. Especially since it was supposed to be today. Meaning they knew and didn't say shit.
