Really wanted to play Nobody saves the world. But I kept getting this bug where the game read my gamepad twice and forces coop.

Hopefully this means that Xbox Direct thing is actually happening, wouldn't really make sense to not reveal the rest of the titles getting added to Game Pass yet otherwise.

Monster Hunter as is the persona franchise in general is pretty new to me. These releases obviously hit people differently

They were announced last year for GP and dated, so this is the first time I believe no unannounced games dropped with the usual monthly drop. I also believe its never been just three games

A whopping two games will have been added between 12/15 and 1/19. And there have been around a dozen removals during that period.

And now we are basically waiting until possibly a showcase at the end of the month for more?

Real shitty start of the year.

As someone who built out a new PC over the holidays I really love how almost every new gamepass game is also coming to PC

its also super overwhelming how many games, I still haven't played High on Life, currently playing P5 Royale and really wanna play P3 and P4 but no clue when I'll get around to it. There is a bit of a ticking time bomb knowing most games leave gamepass a year after they enter (except first party, of course).

Wish Monster Hunter Rise had cross save or a save import option. Fell off the Switch version (should get back to it) and would love to play this version but no interested in starting over when I'm 35+ hours into it.

Technically, 4 games have been added (Mortal Shell Enhanced Edition & Stranded Deep were added last week), but yes, the point stands. Very few games have been added since Dec 15. Let's see what happens after the 20th. Hopefully, we'll get a deluge of games after the 20th.

I'd say that my backlog thanks me, but those are three massive time sink games.

These are obviously great games but I do feel a bit disappointed with didn't get our usual bastch of 8-10 games with some random new stuff there. I find it's the smaller things that I play the most on gamepass

Yeah, its surprisingly weak content output for a subscription service. I hope the slowdown picks up

Can't really complain about the quality but I've kind of dropped both franchises because of how long and padded they are. Ain't nobody got time for long games if you have a Game Pass sub.

Yeah what's up with that. I even got a notification about it on my game pass app

Must have been an error, but even so it would have been nice for them to clarify that. Not just announce it to everyone in a push notification and then just not follow that up at all

They're lucky the error was for Shadow Warrior 3, can you imagine if they accidently told everyone something like Starfield was available now when really it was still weeks away?

It would be chaos lol

Very good games but there's no chance in hell I'll beat any of the Persona games assuming they're only on here for a year each.

Gonna give MH Rise a go though, I haven't liked MH games I've tried in the past but I'm willing to give it one more shot.

I don't understand the complaints. Holiday season and really not much going on. Think you can survive off the games being added. Not every month can be insane.

I have been waiting for some good new games to drop since last month, and I really dont care much for some Persona and Monster Hunter ports. I mean, there are a bunch of games I haven´t played on GP still but none of them interest me. Its not about being desperate to play something, its wanting some actual games that I want to play being added to a subscription service I am paying for.

Three solid additions. 2023 is going to be an insane year for Game Pass. These three in January. Atomic Heart in February. Wo Long in March. Have a Series X coming today or tomorrow in preparation for this slate.

Doubt I'll get to play Danganronpa before it goes. Ah well.

I really wish Xbox would give us more prior notice as to when titles will be leaving.

How long does the Holiday season last lol? It's January 10th.

And if you don't care about old JRPGS and Monster Hunter, it's been pretty barren for the last month.

Would I really dip into a second Rise save file, just to experience some of that increased FPS...

....oh god I probably will, if only for a couple of hours

Would I really go back and play P4G a second time knowing that it's a 70 plus hour timesink...
