Fortnite lost its #1 most played spot on the xbox store it had since summer 2018. Gears 5 ends the run
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Again I'm sort of wondering if Fortnite is starting to slip to enable this. Obviously when you're number one it's hard to know if you're just ahead or miles and miles and miles ahead, and I think in the past it felt like it was the latter, but for two game launches to overhaul it in consecutive weeks? I don't think it's anything particularly special about G5/BL3 - this wasn't happening last year even with the launches of similarly sized or even bigger franchises and launches.
About what? People have repeatedly said gamepass was a sales driver. Want to elaborate?
Link? Want to elaborate on this? I never seen anyone saying this who are you speaking about? I dont think anyone has said gamepass was a sale driver considering theres no way to compare, they may have said game pass brings awareness to a product that may not have happened
Not that I don't believe it since it's been probably true for some games, but Phil Spencer actually said this in 1 o 2 interviews.

It was true at the time because GP was in its infancy. I don't think anyone thought that would hold true forever.
I agree! I was just pointing out that it came from the horse's mouth. Either way, we won't really know until or if we get another quote.
True.
Although saying that - there is a huge difference between a game being "discovered" on Gamepass and the added awareness driving extra sales
vs
an already established, popular IP with a huge marketing push that advertised it as a product of Gamepass rather than just an Xbox game.
Gears 5 has been MS's biggest push yet on signing up subscribers. Traditional sales will obviously suffer as a result. I suspect anyone who acts surprised when the figures finally do release are simply concern trolling.
Essential in igniting console warz - yes.
Well in Czech lands it's quite different:
Seems like Bordelands 3 and even FH 4 are going strong.
And no I don't have an opinion on your web page, get out.....

Also the game got abit of a reset for hours. Always happens with two versions. The Ultimate leaves after a couple of days and gets folded into the main game. But those hours it had before are lost. So the overall game loses some.
They probably are going to combine the skus for the next refresh Monday or Tuesday. It doesn't make sense for them to be separate anymore
Totally agree with this and lmao@ the last comment. people are so transparent.
Seems completely same now and community in here, is really not that big, so I guess that id does not say anything, anyway.
It should indeed. Gamepass is an amazing demo test service to decide whether u wanna buy something. Its kind of a win win because people pay a subscription and when convinced also buy the game. I think the one dollar sale ends next month so it'll be interesting
lol no problem :) this years COD will be the biggest challenge for competitive gaming. But season 11 of fortnite will being it back into the spotlight and overshadow COD again
