Put it on the easiest setting so I can just enjoy it without any trouble....... and i died quite a few times!

Ammo is very scarce and the speed of some of the enemies means a few shots miss their target. Loads of glory kills which helped the ammo situation, but frankly I’m amazed how tough it starts off on this. Christ knows what Nightmare or above must be like!

That's my reaction as well, seemed like the odd one out of all the MS franchises not being available.

Since I'm WFH I had to change my Xbox power option recently from the 'instant power on' option to 'energy saving' because random game downloads were interfering with MS Teams during the workday. So I'm reminded of how much of a pain it is to want to jump into a game but instead be greeted by a multi-GB patch. It's insane that MS still haven't included an option (like Steam and pretty much every other PC storefront) to limit the hours in which updates can be downloaded.

I think I'm going to have to start specifically turning on the Xbox over night and shutting it down first-thing to get these downloaded. Forza 7 @ 100GB is very surprising though. I think that's about 20-30GB more than Horizon 4.
