I was due a first world problem moan on Play Anywhere / Cross Save/Progression
Game Pass truly is fantastic. I wasn't a fan of it when it started because me and my bro had bought almost everything but it has grown into such amazing value.
Right now I'm taking a break from Witcher 3(after having finished main + HoS) and playing some adventure games like Silence, Life is Strange 2 and several others that GP has. Ideal games to play before diving into Blood and Wine.

Also looks like you can't save to a drive any more unless you set it as the default App drive in your Windows settings. When I downloaded Reach it let me save to my D drive (HDD) instead of my C drive (limited space SSD), but then when I tried to download Sunset Overdrive to my D drive after the update, I had to set it as the default app drive first.
Ended up checking out Felix the Reaper, what a fun game. This is the kind of game I wouldn't have bought anytime soon, hail to GP.
With Game Pass ultimate there are no doubts I've played games I would never have before this service became available. Actually, it frustrated me a bit, because it made me realise that due to my own small-minded views of certain game genres I've missed out on some great experiences. Take Hellblade, I just can't hack(!) hack and slash games, but this game was a revelation for me, yeah I'm not that good, but the game's concept and the story are so clever, it drives you forward. I have also just finished a tale of two Brothers which is now on xcloud preview. Again I never really got into these type of puzzle games, but again what an incredible experience, wish I hadn't missed it back in 2013!! What an incredible ending to the game, the sense of loss through not using the controller as the previous 3 or 4 hours was pure genius. This is the best thing about Gamepass for me, discovering games.
I just tried it and got a popup with all three of my drives available to pick from.
Both of my drives had yellow warning icons (C because it was too full, D because of not being the default drive) and the Install button was greyed out. Only after I set the D drive to be default was I allowed to install.
Doom Eternal and Cyberpunk 2077 confirmed for Game Pass day 1!
They'll pop up, but do two of the three have small text warning it's not the default install drive for apps?
I tried downloading Ape Out on PC Game Pass a few days ago but had to pause the download at one point. Now, no matter what I do , I can't get that download to resume. Even cancelling the download altogether doesn't do it; even though it says it will completely uninstall the game, as soon as I click to start a new install it says it's already downloaded 20% but won't progress any further in the download. What directory do Game Pass games install to, maybe manually deleting whatever is in there will fix it?
Weird.. running window 10? I'm glad for you because it's fucking annoying if you want games install seperate from other apps..

Xbox South Africa posted a Game Pass ad/video which showed the titles of some games which a user posted above. Video ended with the Game Pass logo.
Did the tweet say these were all comign to Game Pass? Or was it just a random sizzle reel?
Had something similar happen to me with Age of Empires. After I uninstalled it, it stayed in the sidebar of the app and I was unable to redownload it. For me the solution was to update the Xbox beta app. Try it and see if it helps
The text said something about Game Pass being a ticket to something or other and then it showed the logos of all the games I listed with the Game Pass logo at the end.
Yeah, I don't think there is any way that EA games like Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order or Madden make it to game pass with EA Access around.
Weird tweet/video.
Weird tweet/video.
Unless Microsoft is sweet talking EA around to ditching Access and joining Game Pass. Having multiple subscriptions is a pain in the arse, especially if Ubisoft were to join in with Uplay+ on consoles as well.
Go to either Settings > Apps or the Windows Store and fix it from there. Windows 10 treats Game Pass PC games as Windows store based apps. It doesn't work exactly like Steam or other game launchers (even though the UI would suggest this). It's embedded into the OS and Store ecosystem.
Has anyone been able to launch this with steam link? For whatever reason I cant seem to attach it to the launcher
Even if true or false I hope MS cracks down on these possible leaks because it will only make it harder for future publishers and developers to accept having their titles on Game Pass if they get leaked months prior.
Man, I feel a bit silly. I picked this game up on sale on Switch in September and haven't gotten to it yet. I suppose I at least get the portable benefit. Plus, it's good to support the dev. But it just reminds me I need to wait for things to pop up on GP, because they really will at some point or another.
On the bright side, this game is supposed to be an especial gem and I've seen a bunch of folks say it was their favorite game of 2018.
You are both in for such a treat. I hope you enjoy it a ton. It is a really special game (and the prequel is very good too, but definitely play in release order).
It doesn't include the bonus game, but the deluxe edition upgrade does, and it's one of the best aspects of the game. It's $9 but IMO well worth it. Personally I thought BtS was very good throughout, and well worth playing. I thought Life is Strange was better - I loved it and it's probably one of my favorite games ever - but I still give a strong recommend for BtS.
Edit: just saw your post thepotatoman . I recommend you play the series in release order, with LiS before BtS. BtS is a prequel but relies on knowledge of LiS for full appreciation of the events. Even if it goes off GP for a bit it goes on sale at deep discount fairly often.

That's possible but still hard to believe for me.
That's probably the case.
But if MS wants to come in guns blazing into next gen and lock even more people on the service before Scarlett is released and they're really coming to game pass, holy fucking shit..
I don't know if you've managed to fix it but there was an update to the Xbox app on PC and I managed to download the game after that
Two Point Hospital trailer has a Game Pass logo at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATxBPTj8fvU

Yoku's Island Express kinda fits this bill. It's an amazing game, too. (And on Game Pass!)
Two Point Hospital confirmed for Gamepass
.
I would say likely considering prison architect and they are billions both more recent games do.
Not gonna lie I'm hyped I was day 1 on this and now I get it game pass and discounted later when I buy it before it leaves!
They're not being serious lol. No chance big games like those would launch on Game Pass.
