Seems like Microsoft decided to give us coal for Christmas instead of GamePass games in the second half of December.

Tell me. I really expected Forza Horizon. I guess I Fuck off at work more than I realized. :-

Depends which one just replayed and finished Forza Horizon 1 without using 1 credit or upgrade, was so much fun, better than 4 or 5, even though I still play weekly challenges on those.  One thing I absolutely love is the loading times on 1 should be the standard for every FH game.

Costco has Xbox $100 Gift Card for $80 through 1/1/23. While supplies last. Limit 2 per member. I received mine via email 10 minutes after purchase.

Thanks for posting this! I always watch for this deal each year, it looks like its just on Xbox and Switch, no Playstation cards for 20% off.

I'd give it another day - The first batch of Game Pass games this month were announced on a Thursday.

Here's a screenshot of what I see. From the home screen, click on your profile picture and then click Microsoft Rewards. I'm not sure of any other way to see this info.
 

Spoiler

Thanks for the screenshot. It’s not there for me.

If Nintendo does another end-of-year stats I'll get the full picture since I used my Switch a lot more this year.

 

They already have. Check your email for one titled "Your Year in Review is Here!" I got mine on yesterday (although I could have sworn I saw it earlier than this). My most played there were Pokemon Arceus, Pokemon Sword, and Smash.

Also! Fun fact, there are 2,080 hours of work in 52 weeks at 40h/w. So whatever your max hours are, you can see what % of a part time or full time job your gaming was (do you really want to know?).
 

Next level is WFH where those hours overlap. :-

I'm $8 away from finishing the punch card.  Anyone know if the Zombies Ate My Neighbors game is worth playing?  Played it a bit as a kid but don't really remember it.  I was looking at that, The Council, or Black Mirror... but admittedly know little about any of them

Last time I played ZAMN was when the SNES Classic came out and I added a bunch of games to it and that was one of the one's me and my friend's played and it still holds up, but going back to it, it requires an insane amount of memorization to beat it from start to finish with knowing what enemies are weak to what.

Gameflip gave me a free $2.00 credit. I bought 2 argentina region games, thief and momonga. They both worked. There was one difference. Microsoft sent me emails saying the purchases were complete.

Every end of the month gameflip gives free credit. Usually $1.00. This is the only way I'll buy games from them now.

ymmv but cashback works with gameflip and I assume gift codes in general when you redeem those codes on xbox.com.

I got $2 also and bought Argentina code for powgi game. Love them but they are overpriced on MS store at $8 a piece. I get them for less than 1.50 ...the codes still work.

I'm a stupid also, not sure how to post the TA pic in here, if anyone can help a dumb I'll give it a try. It's not a surprise really for me that it was Forza horizon 5... but it's claiming 692 hours. I mean first reaction would be no way, but I went way hard on that game doing the events every week until the Donut one finally had me bow out.

 

 

Another stupid person question that I'm not really sure if I've seen come up. It probably has 100 times, but since it combines two of our favorite things I'll ask anyway. My gamepass is done today, and I understand the 3 years total of gold conversion formula. Are people able to travel to say Turkey and redeem their gold then do the conversion without any issues?

Your game of the year has to be a game you started playing in 2022, so Apex Legends wouldn't qualify if you were playing it in 2021 and prior.

Yeah, I don't think the FC6 total hours is correct. The PoopySoft Connect app has me at like 67, which seems more accurate. I think xbox is counting the time the game is suspended but not exited (which I do quite a bit)

From the page that shows your stats including the buttons to share to Twitter / Reddit / feed, click the image.  That should open a new tab with an image URL (with a ?v= with some number at the end).  In the post / reply dialog, click the image and paste that URL.

I got the rewards added to the Xbox app at some point today.  I was playing the Ultimate Word Games on my laptop and got a pop up that I earned bonus points.  Checked the PC Xbox app, and it was there on my profile page.  Then I opened the mobile Xbox app, and it's there now, too.  Wasn't there when I checked earlier today.

 

Got 50 for a PC game, 5 for using the Xbox app on mobile and 30 for playing a game of Jewel in the app.

 

Interestingly, I got 25 bonus points apiece for having 7+ friends and being subscribed to Game Pass when I claimed the points for the PC game and using the app.  I then got another 15 apiece from those bonus ones when claiming for Jewel.

 

So 165 points from the rewards today.

Showed up in the Xbox app for me as well.

For the TA end of year stuff, I just took a screenshot on my phone. Went to the “full version” of this site and uploaded it as an attachment. No need to upload it to a third party site.

Looks like you just registered on the site.  That's explained in their article about it.

Why is my top game for 2022 not my most played game this year?

In order for us to work out how long you've played each game in 2022, we need to know how long you'd played them before January 1st, so if you only registered on TrueAchievements this year, we've had to use your most played game that you started this year, as we know that game's playtime will be accurate. The good news is, if and when we do one of these for 2023, your stats will be 100% spot on for that one.


Looks like you've played about 21 hours of Turnip Boy, unlocking 3 achievements.

Just a friendly reminder if you are on that World Cup high and are thinking of getting Fifa 23 purchase it through last year's games menu. I was able to get it for 70 percent off instead of 50 plus 500 coins.
