sniper ghost warrior contracts and Lords of the Fallen were said to come later this month as well
Ah, right, right. That could very well be it, but we'll see in a few days
It's in the accessibility tab in settings. Took me a min to find it as well.
Didn t know humanity was coming to gamepass. Tell me it also include pc game pass.
Little Kitty, Big City is a nice little game. I found it odd that really there's one quest that you can relatively quickly complete to "beat" the game, and 90% of the game is essentially optional. But I enjoyed running around doing a few of these optional tasks and finding hidden areas. The game definitely fits the mold of a cosy game to play between other games.
I also found it a nice touch that the cat is afraid of cucumbers, lol.

Is the cucumbers an actual thing in life? I was so confused the first few runes that happened.
I'm almost finished with A Crab's Treasure and must say, what a great surprise.
I never really played Soulslikes before because they were often too heavy and dark in tone. Also, the infamous high difficulty really put me off for the longest time. I decided to give this one a go to see if the genre could scratch any itches I had.
I believe it is a great first step for anyone that wants to get into the genre. The narrative is surprisingly well executed with a lot of humour and social/environmental criticism. Oh, and the graphics and music are also very good.
Definitely recommend to anyone that, like me, could never really get into any From game.
It actually spiked my interest to try DS1, finally.

I think the theory is that cats mistake it for a snake.
Man Pentiment is such a perfect game for Cloud gaming on mobile. It doesn't even use that much data since very often the screen is static.
Yea, read up on it. So strange. Now I need to read up on why cats dislike snakes, wouldn't think they'd be in the same areas.
Finished Supraland Six Inch Under before it leaves Game Pass. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one, too. Combat is still clunky and some puzzles are definitely hard to solve, but it's certainly an enjoyable 6-10 hours depending on how much you explore.
Does anyone else have Doom 2016 and Halo 5 showing up in their "My Library" tab on the pc Xbox app? They are not installable, but maybe they are getting ready to release them on PC Game Pass soon.
Do you own them from the Xbox store? I don't see them in my library, though I don't own them.
I own them both on Xbox and they show up on the pc Xbox app. Doom 2016 and Halo 5 are the only games on there that are not installable in my library. Maybe they are adding Xbox Play Anywhere to these games and are accidently showing up early in the library before they are ready.
Id be shocked if Halo 5 comes to pc randomly. Either its play anywhere, or its part of being able to stream owned titles and itll show up with a cloud play button. Or its a bug lol
I see Halo 5 there but also RE3 remake (specifically the console version) is showing up in my PC library as well so yeah likely a mistake or something to do with streaming owned games.
I don't have any of my Xbox only games showing up on my library on PC either (Dark Souls, Elden Ring, for example). DOOM 2016 and Halo 5 are Microsoft games though, so it does beg the question if streaming owned titles is going to be Microsoft only games... which would be.. disappointing.
With Hellblade 2 coming soon, I figured I'd give the first game a shot...
Nope.
Kudos to them for making such an unsettling game. I assume that's what they set out to do, and they certainly delivered. So I get all the accolades the game got. But it's not for me. The game needs a Reduced Frights option... Plus you can lose progress if you fail too much? Definitely not a game for me. I played some Little Kitty Big City afterwards to clear my head of that experience.

Been having a ton of fun playing Inkulinati and The Wandering Village.
Love how Inkulinati is relatively chill to play and the art style is phenomenal. The Wandering Village has also been a good game to just wind down and not focus on min-maxing too much.

Thanks. Unrelated, but what are the odds we get some of the SE catalog missing Xbox such as Trials of Mana shortly following the June showcase? I can play on PS/Switch/PC if I wanted but would prefer to on GP with an Xbox controller.
Pfft, nothing for me. Trash month. [/s]

If you have even remotely any interest in puzzle games I'd strongly suggest trying Humanity out!
Wasn't that I'm the previous drop leaving soon list?
Then I'd say officially just today but ymmv. Hurry it up!

Interesting. Though doesn't change the fact I won't (can't) play this:)
Chants of Sennaar, nice! That was high on my to play list. Along with the coming Humanity.
If you haven't played it, play Chicory. It's fantastic. And then go play Wandersong too if you haven't.
Hmm, I should try playing Chicory before it leaves. Heard a lot of good things about the game.
Finished Fuga 2 finally .. I wish I have 1 more week to get all achievements .. but no issue since I got the true ending ( less demanding then Fuga 1 ) ..
loved most of it.. specially the soul canon twist in boss battles ..
Hope they add more variety to enemies and music in 3rd one

I'm actually finding Parry'ing in these Jedi games a LOT easier than most Souls-likes. I usually just dodge away from everything instead of trying to hit the Parry window. Most enemies have a similar cadence of attacks to Parry.
Problem with Just powerBlocking everything is your Block bar will get broken on some longer flurries.
stealth edit : Really enjoying Survivor so far, just fixed the Mantis, but I don't want to leave the first planet! So much still to see. Wish the game was better optimized on PC tho. Running rough.

I don't want to make a thread but I hate click-baity shit but I'll ask here: for people that got in the 3 year gold-to-GPU thing when it was hot (aka 2 years ago) and they are about to run it's course (mine ends march 2025 I think), would you do another 3-year conversion given the current state of MS and all the rumours about gamepass?
Good question, mine ends in the first days of June and I'm debating on it too. I'm thinking on subscribing for another year and see what will happen.
Mine is ending in a few days and I'm not renewing. Right now I don't feel like investing any further in the Xbox ecosystem, it all depends on where we go from here.
My GP ends in August and I'm going to do the now 2 year conversion again. It's a subscription so I don't have to worry about losing access to games.
But I do plan to buy less games on Xbox ecosystem from now on. Only some BC stuff for Xbox.
Edit: wrong quote
As long as Game Pass continues to get good support (and this year, they have been killing it), I'll sign up in a heartbeat. Nothing's changed for me.
Well mine lasts much longer than y'all (until 2027...), but no, I wouldn't. At best, if Microsoft Rewards is still a thing by the time it runs out, I might use whatever points I have saved to continue Game Pass.
But as far as spending actual money on it again, much less for 3 years (which is already more expensive as is due to the new conversion rates) nope, I am completely done. Honestly I was already done before the recent news, as ultimately I struggle more than I thought I would to really get the max value out of the service. Not to mention there's no way in hell this service is not going to go through major changes by the time my subscription has ended.
this is exactly where I'm at aswell. Like I've been playing Jedi Survivor, and arguably I'll play the crab game (maybe) but before those what did I even play on gamepass recently... err... oh RE3, I guess that wasn't that long ago. But before that, I don't even know... Lies of P last year I think.
