I redeemed some codes earlier and I got a free additional month for the first two codes (if you activate auto renew) so make sure auto renew is off each time you type a code in.

I'm subbed up until September so far

How are you getting more codes? I redeemed one and on Quantity it just gives me the same code to use.

I have a few SIMs, plus family. And I traded the pizza codes for Xbox codes with other people. Plus I got an extra 2 months for turning on auto renew a few times.

Subbed up till January 1st now!

Just started playing Super Lucky's Tale (I'm a child at heart) as it's now on Game Pass. I'd read the "meh" reviews beforehand but since it's free decided to give it a shot. Actually to my surprise it's nowhere near as bad as I expected, just nothing particularly amazing either. I'm enjoying it though, anyone else given it a shot?

I'm playing it a little with my daughter as it is appropriate for her. It is a fun platformer, but I am in constant terror because the edge of the level is always there. I am waiting just to make a misjump and lose another life. Also the loading times are a bore, especially within the levels themselves.

It’s a pleasant enough game as a freebie. The design work is generic but bright and cheerful. The jump mechanics are a little floaty and unpredictable. The partially locked camera doesn’t help matters.

I found the camera a pain, some of the timed stuff in particular is hard as you have to get it right first time with it not being that easy to see.

I have also played quite a lot of The Last Station. Its a fun game, but I can't seem to actually save everyone and therefore I can't get the achievements.

If you're on Three you can get a free month of Gamepass through their Wuntu rewards app. The code works on existing subscriptions as well so you can just use it to add a free month on the end.

Yeah that took a lot of trying and retrying. Fun game though.

I went into the train journey without enough resources to possibly save everyone. I would have to play most of the game again to get enough food and health packs. Don't think I will!

Put a couple of hours into Letter Quest last night, fun game, turn based battles using spelling with some light RPG elements.

Indeed, Monkey - it's a terrific game! Really enjoyed it on Switch earlier this year and managed to get all the coins!

It's a great game, I got it free on PS+ a year or two ago and played it to death.

Might try it tonight.

Game Pass.

Helped me with the tricky achievements in the game.

Cities:Skylines will join in April along with 7 other unknown titles.

I was looking at buying Cities Skylines on PS4 in the recent sale for £17.99 but held off. Might take out the game pass trial to see what it’s like then

Phew, nothing too bad there. I think I own every one of those 360 games.
