For anyone with a Game Pass subscription, you have a lot to choose from as a bunch of Bethesda titles have been added. Elder Scrolls Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim, Wolvenstein The New Order and The Old Blood and The Evil Within as well as a Bethesday Collection as a category. I have a PC pass so...I can actually finally play an Elder Scrolls game! New games are only going to be released on platforms that have Game Pass as well. Guess I better get an X-Box or upgrade my PC before the next Elder Scrolls or Fallout I’ll make a bold prediction and say the deals were signed to get at least Elder Scrolls 6 on PS5. Anything else, though, likely sticking to Xbox or even getting Switch ports with that Switch Pro potentially coming.

Bethesda Exclusivity will determine if I get an XB at some point. I’m hoping they’re cool like they are with Minecraft and share with everyone for the moneys.

Definitely gonna finally check out the Wolfenstein games The gameplay is a bit weird at times but the world building, for a game basically another "Nazis won World War II" sort of thing, is one of the best in gaming in my opinion. The sequel is all kinds of bonkers with its plot, too. Bethesda Exclusivity will determine if I get an XB at some point. I’m hoping they’re cool like they are with Minecraft and share with everyone for the moneys. Like I said, I'd say the deals for the bigger stuff like Elder Scrolls are signed and done well in advance as I can't see a scenario where that isn't something Sony goes for at the start of development. Something like, say, a Rage 3? I can see that being Xbox exclusive easily.

I wonder if things like Elder Scrolls eventually become timed exclusives for the XBox/PC? Isn't there some discussions about certain games being timed exclusives to PS5?

XB can keep DOOM and Rage and the rest.

Deathloop is the only timed exclusive I'm aware of but I can see the argument about possibly the next Wolvenstein or even a Fallout being timed exclusive. Elder Scrolls would be too big a franchise for that.

Starfield's another one I could easily see being multiplatform but it all depends on what stuff was done at what time in development.

Oh, my mistake, they also added all the original Dooms, Fallout 4, Prey and both mainline Dishonoured games.
So...have at it!

Hmmm, I can always play more Skyrim, need to check the Nexus to see if it can use the mods from there.

They are also doing Doom VR exclusive to PlayStation but don’t know if it is timed or not.

I can't seem to be able to play any online game. Red Dead Online and Star Wars BF2 both shut my Xbox down, despite no other games doing that and having sufficient space for the vents. The fan gets super loud at the start screen for BF2 and then shuts down automatically during any selection process...RDO does it at the beginning cutscene. I tried Fallout 76 out of morbid curiosity and same thing, shuts down when your character wakes up at the intro.
Stupid GaneStop refurbished console...

Undertale finally lands on XBox tomorrow, and will be included with Game Pass. It’ll also have a few extra features compared to other platforms

anybody getting the new Microsoft XBox Headset? I'm really interested in hearing people's reviews as I'm thinking about picking up some headphones with some money that is burning a hole in my pocket. LOL.

It’ll also have a few extra features compared to other platforms I'm more intrigued by the fact that Octopath Traveller's coming out next week for Game Pass. Coming out the same day as Yakuza 6 for those of you going through the series now it's on there.

Oh, and Nier: Automata's coming to Game Pass on Thursday which'll include the DLC that is a really long set of numbers because it's a Yoko Taro game.

So, I’ve been a pretty vocal guy with how awesome a deal I feel game pass is, and they have taken it a step beyond in the past few months. If you have the internet to use it, I can’t recommend the service enough
