… bare with me as im not fully up to date with all the goings on in gamepass land.

 

So Xbox Live  Gold accounts got transferred to Gamepass Core automatically and laterally… yet my Gold account that was set to expire in April has expired as Core tonight… was it “pro-rated”?

 

I now get automatic ads saying GP Core is $9 a month, but I also recall MS saying it would be $9 per month or $60 a year yet that option is nowhere to be seen anywhere.. what am I missing here? Did MS just reneg on what they stated or did I misunderstand the whole mess?

"The truth of it is the regulatory process took so long and there was so much uncertainty until last week, that our team hasn't had the time to work with ABK to work on the back catalogue work. But now that it has closed, there is work being done".

 

"2024 is an accurate timeline."

Why Xbox's Third-Party Accessories Ban Is Sparking a Backlash in the Disabled Community - IGN

 X/Twitter user Xbuds asked if it was possible to “test Chronus Max and post back?” AlterGreenBean shared an image of their setup which includes two mice connected to a Cronus adapter that enables multiple profiles. This is beneficial as they can only use “just 5 buttons.” Similar posts across the platform demonstrated immense fear and uncertainty for the disabled community. Without proper clarification or any official acknowledgment from Microsoft regarding the problem, many disabled players whose needs are not fully met by the Adaptive Controller fear they will lose access to their Xbox systems.

The Xbox Series X bundle itself comes in at $489 from Walmart, that's already $10 off from the $499.99 MSRP of the console, and packs Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and Diablo IV. For reference, we're seeing Black Friday Xbox deals at retailers like Best Buy and Amazon only offering one of these games at a time, and at the full console price. 

This offer is sold and shipped by Walmart, so you're in safe hands, and comes with extended holiday returns to keep you covered as well. If you're not a Call of Duty fan, Black Friday has you covered as well. You can also pick up this offer with Madden 24 included at the same price. 

Very good deal!

Reaction: Should We Really Be Surprised By 'Declining' Xbox Console Sales?

WWW.PUREXBOX.COM
Europe's figures have dropped off in 2023 - Well, there's been some mad drama surrounding Europe's recent console sales fi...

 


I really don’t think we should be surprised by declining console sales. I think this is a big reason Sony won’t go day and date on PC, but instead waits 2+ years, if it comes to PC at all. Europe as a whole has been PS territory for a long time too. To be honest I’d be surprised if Xbox sales were surging.
 

That being said I’d be a little surprised if Game Pass subscriptions don’t start growing in Europe once ABK titles start landing on the service, unless there is a massive price increase to go along with ABK games being there too.

Ngl not to excited for any of those games 

 

There’s some good stuff in there like Stalker 2, Hellblade 2, Avowed, and P3 Reloaded, but yeah not a lot of big names. But, that is because I noticed it’s just a fan picture someone made of previously announced indies and MS first party stuff. 

 

The bigger name games besides a few are usually worked out throughout the year and you don’t hear about them until the month of or when they have shows throughout the year. Some might not even be announced games yet.

Theres some others I want too like Little Kitty Big City has been on my wishlist forever but I just mean this isn’t something MS is putting out to get people like Biggie hype over the big games hitting gamepass, that’ll happen later throughout the year.

Same. I guess Avowed looks somewhat intriguing. But that’s about it for me. If that’s the majority of their lineup for 24, that’s pretty bleak. 

 

Again, a reminder this isn’t MS touting their lineup :P

 

Some fan made this off of stuff we know about. They save big announcements to use throughout the year.

 

Also lol like Bigs isn’t playing Little Kitty Big City day1
