For those who like to combine rewards quests:
There’s a new reward quest on the Xbox Rewards app for getting one achievement in certain games. Spiritfarer is on there, and it’s also on the weekly GP Rewards quests to just play it. So play the game, get an achievement, get 2 rewards quests (play the game, weekly achievement in GP) and 500 points from the Xbox Rewards app.

I was never anticipating Cyberpunk much but I did think it looked like it could be fun. Maybe I’m just too cheap but I’d rather save that $10 for something else.

Hopefully enough of them buy it so that it hits gamepass...the question is, what is the BB return window so we know when it hits?

Psychonauts is 99 cents on steam. Would be nice if Microsoft could do the same or make it gwg next month.

15 / 30 / 45 days.

Is the Valfaris / Slain bundle good? I kinda just want them for the music.

It's on Game Pass, they've never put a game currently on GP up for free with GWG. They've always removed games a few months before adding to GWG.

I mean, Microsoft owns Double Fine so not like it's going to leave Game Pass anytime soon.

Yeah absolutely love that. Like most dlc I'll probably pick this up and then go months without playing the game again lol

So I was able to finish final Fantasy vii a fun time but missed one achievement of having a date with Barrett. Looks like I'll be tackling stranger things!

Leaving Game Pass August 31st:

 

Blair Witch

Double Kick Heroes

NBA 2k21

Stranger Things 3: The Game

 

 

I got most of the achievements in Stranger Things 3, so I'm going to have to finish that off.

Didn't even start Blair Witch, but it's a game I've been interested in. Worth playing through?

CoD 2021 is scheduled for release on October 20th.

There's not much stranger than the date sequence with Barret. So much is left unsaid!

If Witcher 3 can land on Gamepass, then Cyberpunk seems very likely it’d get on there too.

I'd be willing to bet they are only waiting for the Next Gen patch.

I would be interested if they weren’t going back to World War 2 again.

Microsoft Solitaire Collection Premium was added to Game Pass PC (and GPU), which also makes it available on iOS and Android.  Doubles the coins earned in daily challenges and makes 6 years of challenges available, so the bronze, silver, gold and diamond challenge achievements are easier to get.

Dognabbit I did it the hard way 3-4 years ago!

Is there a trick to do this? I downloaded the app and signed in but I don't seem to have any premium features.

Myst remaster/remake or whatever it is, is coming to Game Pass this month.
And Blair Witch, Doublekick Heroes, Stranger Things 3, and NBA 2K21 leaving end of this month.

I love Myst. I don’t know that I have the patience or intelligence to beat it again but I did 20 some years ago.

[captbrannigan]

They're worth it for the music imo. I only played through a few levels of Slain, but I haven't been a fan of any of the 2D soulslikes. I probably spent as much or more time idle in the menus just jamming to the music as playing the game. Valfaris looks more Contra-like and from the gameplay I've seen on YouTube it looks pretty sweet.


Some tasty Slain tunes:

I doubt they will considering sorting their movies and shows is the same mess that it's been since they launched the app. Also I'm glad I knew the characters for "Japanese" so I can select the language because that's another stupid, stupid choice instead of just labeling it as Japanese.

With that said I'm grateful at least that Amazon also added the TV special interview with Anno so I can hear him talk about how over he is with the franchise.

I'm waiting to watch the documentary probably this weekend. I really liked 3.0+1.0 and just want to let it set in. I can definitely see how someone would be done with a series that has so much if themselves in in, especially after this long. But if Shin Godzilla is the barometer I don't know if he'll ever been truly "done" with Eva.

Seeing kind of mixed reception about a few things but at least the community isn't shitting itself like the AoT/SnK manga ending.

[bardockkun]

It's a full 3D remake from the looks of the trailers if that changes your mind at all. So I'm guessing a bit of a Call of the Sea type feel, minus any narrative I feel.

I Still gotta watch 3.33, probably this weekend. In all honesty I'm surprised he even came back to Evangelion at all after End of Evangelion since he made that as a personal "fuck you for not like the TV ending". I Think he's hinted at possibly more Evangelion projects, but if there is he probably won't be involved, which is fine because he owes everyone nothing and really with the spin offs as is, I expect no less.

 

And Evangelion has so many damn endings that really, you know it's hard to get mad. I Personally enjoyed the Sadamoto manga ending just for a less bleak take on End of Evangelion.

Wasn’t SW Battlefront 2 already in GP through EA?

Yeah I was confused on this one too. I am pretty sure we had two weekly quests about scoring points in certain game types. I wouldn't have started it otherwise.

I didn’t see any trailers yet but I will definitely play it.

Same here, though I check in on the daily events a few times a week.

Xbox Live is reporting some problems right now in the "Store and subscriptions", "Games and gaming" and "Cloud gaming" categories.  Nothing on the service site points to an issue with recognizing GPU, but I started up Solitaire and it said something along the lines of my Premium access through Game Pass had ended.  Closed it out and started it up again and I have Premium back.

[Darthziggy]

The tweet that was quoted didn’t word it well at all, but if you look on the website it says the EA games “added” today were added to Cloud gaming, so available on the app now. They usually have a little “Console/Cloud/PC” thing but Nibel didn’t do that for some reason.

[mrclutch]

Ahhh. That makes sense. Mystery solved.
