It's actually the opposite, the new changes make digital purchasing easier
I thought I saw some folk talking about having issues downloading the Asian FFXIII because of the new update, but I could be mistaken.

That is an issue. The Japanese FFXIII (Ultimate Hits International Version) no longer works on non Japanese accounts. I still had my downloaded and tried playing since they updated the store and it no longer works but that's likely because it's a completely different sku that had no Western version than the regular FFXIII version.I thought I saw some folk talking about having issues downloading the Asian FFXIII because of the new update, but I could be mistaken.
Sure, I was just making the distinction that both physical hardware based emulation or purely software based emulation, or something in-between the two, would still require publisher approval if it was based on the game code being redistributed by Microsoft.LOL
Hence me saying specifically "AND need to be downloaded from Xbox's server to get the game wrapped in a software emulator needs Publishers to sign off on"

Yeah. When we're talking here, we need to make it distinct that the Xbox One/Series BC is a new style of BC.Sure, I was just making the distinction that both physical hardware based emulation or purely software based emulation, or something in-between the two, would still require publisher approval if it was based on the game code being redistributed by Microsoft.
I'm actually curious if Microsoft would agree to make an Xbox One game not available on Xbox Series X if a publisher specifically requested it, especially if they had a next gen remaster on the way.

If you want to buy games from other regions from the new (Xbox One/Microsoft) store all you need is money on your account of that currency (your CC won't work). It will redeem to your account and be downloadable with no workarounds needed.
I don't think publishers have to agree to anything, if the BC is handled by reading the disc and playing straight from it. There's no way that Sony got the permission from every single PS1 publisher to play their games via disc on the PS3. Very unlikely to happen though.
I'm not sure if they are whitelisted, but the same as before they have separate profiles for games.
I think there are just about 63 games that are currently out there for the home tests that are happening about the moment
I actually think it's both, because Xbox One games run natively, while Xbox and 360 games need publisher agreements.
So if I have like idk $2 on my account, and I add some euros from Amazon.de via a xbox gift card, it would be a separate amount somehow? And I could use that on the German xbox store?
Ryse needs to be in there and probably Dead Rising 3.I really wish they go and tinker with some of the 900p games from the 8th gen, even if they leave the 30fps lock as is. Would love to play these in a crisper resolution.
Deus Ex Mankind Divided
Sunset Overdrive
Batman Arkham Knight
Modern Warfare Remastered
And maybe do 60fps for some of the already-4K games, Skyrim remastered and Fallout 4 especially would be lovely ☺

They've already confirmed that they will increase the resolution to select games from this generation. We just don't know what games yet.I really wish they go and tinker with some of the 900p games from the 8th gen, even if they leave the 30fps lock as is.

Nice, I hope we can make requests and they'll use those votes to guide them, like when the back compat program started up.They've already confirmed that they will increase the resolution to select games from this generation. We just don't know what games yet.
Well 360 and Xbox OG BC wouldn't work any other way. We don't know yet, if we need to download the full game again with Xbox One games iirc.I hope what Sony does in response is basic backward compatibility approach without the need to download the whole game with enhancements when you pop in the disc. I prefer original base level game code to run.
I don't think Halo 5 will get added to MCC. The undertaking it would take just wouldn't be worth it and the MCC plays fine on the One X at 4k.60fps which will be locked on XSX. It will likely also benefit from improvements to BC games at the system level such as I suspect increased anisotropic filtering, faster loading, and other benefits that haven't been revealed yet.Interested to see if there will be any enhancements to the MCC on Xbox One, other than inevitably adding Halo 5.
I'm enjoying playing through all the campaigns on my One S, but the performance is disgusting.
I guess a good point of reference is the PC version at max settings and I must say, it does look (or feel at higher framerates?) quite a bit better than the One X version. Going past 60 fps looks amazing with this game
Still not on PC though I feel like they might add itI don't think Halo 5 will get added to MCC.

I don't but you never know. I think MS is far more likely to simply port Halo 5 to PC and not burden themselves trying to integrate it in the MCC.
Yes: Microsoft accounts keep track of individual currencies on your account wallet.

I predict Spring.I"m so. damn. excited.
Hopefully sooner in 2021 rather than later!
Around launch was probably the original target, but the pandemic likely shifted priorities in order to make certain they successfully launch the Series X|S on time and fully functioning with all it's features.I thought this would be ready for launch, but good to hear it's hopefully not too far off now.
We still don't if the BC team's doubling the framerate technique will work on 360/OG Xbox games yet as Fallout 4 has been the only example they've showed so far.I just downloaded BF 1943 out of the blue. It's locked to 30. It could really use some FPS-raising magic (and a res boost, too).
Yeah, good point. I realize what I'm wishing for is slim-to-none. But I'll probably be super happy with whatever they do end up enhancing.We still don't if the BC team's doubling the framerate technique will work on 360/OG Xbox games yet as Fallout 4 has been the only example they've showed so far.
Here's hoping.
