Xbox Game Pass - STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor, Another Crab’s Treasure, Harold Halibut, Botany Manor, Diablo 4 out now

Oh wow, Deaths Door seemed like it was inevitable, but great to see it already.

Bonkers month, even with all that Rainbow 6 bobbins.

Danganronpa is already up, so I'd say there's a good chance it's right.

I'd somehow forgotten that today was Nobody Saves The World day. Excellent.

Also always intended playing Danganronpa (mainly from seeing SoK talk about it, IIRC!), so I'll be trying that for sure.

It's a lovely bit of craziness :msgreen:

The whole series is SUPERB at setting a mood, and a lot of the music is ace as well.

Cannot wait to try Death's Door! :toot:

All the other games were announced so yeah I think it is right, no official blog means we don't have dates for Deaths Door.

Extraction, Hitman Trilogy and Windjammers is Thursday, NSTW is today!

Ha. I picked up deaths door and Hitman from the epic gamestore at Christmas. Not started them yet.

To be honest, I find PC gamepass can be a bit flakey, so despite the lack of Xbox achievements I’ll probably still play on epic. I do like getting Xbox achievements and I know steam and gamepass work together to unlock achievements. No idea if it does the same with Epic.

It’s almost comical how every single game I pay for on Xbox comes to Gamepass a few months later, and any Gamepass game I start getting in to leaves the service before I’m done. I feel like someone at Microsoft is just spying on me and coming up with creative ways for me to get mad while everyone else benefits.

I think it's more testimony to how well received and in the public eye (sometimes) the games that get added to the service are.

Well - that explains the first part fo your problem. The second part is possibly due to the fact that they are indeed watching.

Will deffo give Death's Door a go. Wasn't on my radar but hearing it's Rinks' GOTY really piques my interest.

Sad that Mass Effect isn't available via XCloud. I realise I'm an edge case in that I exclusively play Gamepass via streaming (crap PC and no Xbox). Can't really complain about the quality of the games available or the streaming other than that, though!

Been quite stunned by your streams, I didn't realize you played Ori was Xcloud, looked fine..and that's a tricky game.

Yeah it's really amazing that the input lag is so unnoticeable in the first place, but the fact it can also handle the additional pressure of streaming out to twitch is quite something. I'd put it down to my good internet (400 down, 700 up) but when I was in America I managed to do the exact same thing on 40Mbps, which is impressive.

I genuinely think a significant proportion of gaming audience in the future will be primarily using streaming services to play.

Another one not on xcloud - do you think this was a conscious choice as the input lag would be way too unforgiving for a rhythm game?

Oh, 100%. It's hard enough to fine-tune the input lag at the best of times, it'd be utterly unplayable on anything above easy.
