Played a couple of games of that Headbangers rhythm battle royal thing. It seemed daft and fun, but was largely ruined by lobbies not starting up properly. The full number of people would be there, but nothing would then happen, and so people would gradually start dropping out. Happened 5 times in my 7 attempts.

Amazing that stuff like this doesn't get sorted before launch when it's a fundamental requirement of the game. Then again I hear Team 17 are not in the best of health currently.

Frog Dick tonight I think.

Nope. It was delayed to next year.

Roboquest is a fast-fps roguelite playable in solo or 2 player cooperation.

Blast your way through hordes of evil bots, customize your character along the way and unlock permanent upgrades to push further into the game each time you retry.

Just started up Ghost Song and had a full-screen notification that it’s leaving Game Pass soon. Useful feature.

Excellent little metroidvania that.

Yep, brilliant game. I was just looking to mop up some achievements I didn’t get when I first completed it, but there are too many for the time remaining.

I've mentioned it before- I started playing this in preview a few weeks ago. It's great. Not Hades brilliant, but very good nonetheless.

Had my first complete run last night. Killed the final boss with a throwing axe. :datass:

I also had a look at Dungeons 4, which has now been uninstalled. It was a mildly distressing experience.

Three titles only for the second half of November

Yes, only three. The first two titles have already been revealed in the past, namely Persona 5 Tactica and Rollerdrome . These will be available on November 17 and 28 respectively on PC, consoles and Cloud .

The third game is a new release of a title already present on Game Pass PC only. This title is none other than Dune Spice Wars , which was released only on PC. It will soon be released on Xbox consoles , and we still don't know if it will be available on Playstation.

Dune Spice Wars will soon be available on Game Pass via consoles and Cloud .

Is EA Play games leaving Game Pass a new thing? I thought that once they were in the ‘vault’ they were there for good? Is this part of the EA play sub being absorbed into Game Pass? It’s been a while since they made that change.

I wonder if they are leaving EA Play also? Maybe they are shutting down the servers...

EDIT: They are leaving EA Play.

Battlefield 1943 is definitely having a server shutdown soon, I've been trying to grind out the last achievement for a while now.

80 years is quite a long time to keep a server running to be fair, it's had a good run.

Three sounds meagre, but Dune Spice Wars coming to console being one of them makes it OK with me.
