All DLC is included and they should also go into Gamepass.

Someone broke the embargo for the Series X version of Gears 5, some pics here - https://imgur.com/a/Q7eNdmU

Before he deleted his tweet he said he has a 4k video coming. It's been previously announced that Gears 5 will run 4k/60 on XSX in campaign with PC Ultra settings and some settings above that. MP will be 120FPS on both consoles. Digital Foundry previously looked at 2 weeks worth of work on the port here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNZibJazWTo

Damn, glad I held off starting Gears 5

Same, i have thoroughly enjoyed playing 1-4 on my 1X. Looking forward to playing Tactics and 5 on Series X.

Man, I can't imagine playing Gears 5 on Series X will be like for the first time. Gears 5 on X1X was visually incredible so you're in for something really special. It's up with Gears 3 as my fave of the franchise too.

I’ve got Gears 5 lined up, I’ll grab Gears Tactics at some point but I have just grabbed Halo Wars: Definitive Edition in the current Xbox sale so I’ll save that to play on the Series X when I get one.

Any idea if more stock of Series X is expected in December?

I hate to keep repeating myself but they are all in Gamepass man...

From the latest Smyths Christmas catalogue which I received this morning:

That looks like a proper Christmas magazine though. Way too early for that nonsence, but its nice to see.

I know, thing is, I looked at GamePass and everything and realised a few things

- I don’t play online multiplayer at all, only a few odd occasions I do so on Switch.
- The indie games they put up on GP I prefer playing on Switch in Handheld mode so I usually pick them up there when they are on discount.

I only buy games when they are on sale so buying Halo Wars for £6 vs getting a month of GP for £11 to then not actually own it after that month was how I looked at it.

The GP thing might change if they get Xcloud running on Switch

I think game pass is about £7 but I get your point if you're not likely to play more than a different game a month. I'm only on game pass while I got it cheap and have been unsubscribed whenever I haven't been able to get it for a few £ a month.

When Microsoft report a 99.999% Game Pass attachment ratio we will know why

Halo Wars 1 and 2, Gears 1-5 + Tactics, Halo 1-5 is how I'd look at it, and you can get 3months for about £20 on cdkeys but ill not go on about it.

I was just going to use Game pass when I get the X but having seen Ultimate Mortal Kombat 11 on some sites for £40 and having not sampled mortal kombat 11 at all yet I'm kinda tempted to order that for my first game.

Gamepass, AC Valhalla and Cyberpunk for me.

Milner, please just buy strawberry floating Game Pass.

The Borderlands 3 (free) next-gen upgrade arrives on 10th November. Nice.

Do you need to own the game digitally or can I slap my borderlands 3 disc in the machine and get this ?
