Hey!
I shared this over on the Game Pass thread, but I thought you might be interested in it too!

I made a list of upcoming games coming day one on Game Pass. Feel free to give me some notes in case you see a mistake. I'll update it regularly on the Game Pass OT!

Elder Scrolls Online to Finally Let You Earn Loot Boxes for Free, Likely Due to Microsoft

The Elder Scrolls Online will finally let you earn Crown Crates for free in-game, and it seems we have Microsoft to thank.

Wow, thanks for list. The only thing I'd change is the screenshot of Forza Motorsport. That's FM7 and not FM.

I'll never understand the whole "the ending of this series I loved wasn't good so now I forever can't be excited about it" (see also: Mass Effect 3), like I don't think the leak is about Game of Thrones but a big Game of Thrones game would sell like crazy regardless if season 8 didn't live up to some people's expectations.

Forza Horizon 4 #7 on the Xbox NPD charts, two and a half years after release. Pretty crazy. Also, I strongly suspect that Microsoft's first party games have brought in more revenue via direct sales since the "all our games on GP day 1" than in the 3 years prior to that.

they know what they are doing :)

Do we know if Anvil Vault Breakers will have local co-op? It looks like it could be fun if it does.

Going one difficulty lower than default in Wolfenstein is the way to go. Having a lot of fun with Old Blood.
i never liked the combat in wolfenstein because it feels like you have to go all in like in doom but you get melted, so you have to take cover all the time. it's weird that you can dual wield 2 shotguns but can only use them optimally in like 30 seconds the whole game.

Awesome list.

Second Extinction on April 28th? Could add that if you are uncluding gamepreview gamepass launch.

Thanks! I'm curious, does that make me a Game Pass Warrior? 🤔

Good catch!
I didn't manage to find a lot of clean pictures of the game online, so I went with something a little different but still relevant. I'll try to take a picture myself straight from the trailer, or hopefully we might see more in a couple of weeks at E3. 👀

True, some of the options at your disposal will get you killed quickly so it limits playstyle a lot of the time. I still like the series and the gunplay feels good but it's a problem.

It's not a coincidence that Youngblood, the one where you are the most powerful, is my favorite.

Amazon did just cancel their Lord of the Rings game. I wonder if someone else got the license 🤔

i like the story telling as well, very likeable characters and the whole in your face style in the cutscenes. the gunplay as you say is awesome, it just i'd prefer if i could go full aggro. im really looking forward to 3 even tho i haven't played youngblood yet.

That's a tough one! I actually chose not to add it, for two reasons:
- to my knowledge, the early access already started on Steam before, so the Xbox/Game Pass release is, by definition, not "day one".
- However, if the game pass release happens when an early access game enters its full release, then it's essentially the real launch and would count as "day one".

See what I mean?
I'm just trying to be fair, and yes make a big list but without trying to add everything just for growing the count.

Game Pass Commander, I think.

Great, I'll take an Xbox mini-fridge as a medal of honor then.

I know exactly what you mean haha. That's why we need them now!

This is logic I just can't argue with!

that happens to me all the time, i get excited a couple of days and then kinda forget about them. remember the whole persona coming to game pass we had a couple of weeks or whatever? feels really distant now...

Heh, now Persona is one I do remember, mainly because I have a friend that keeps asking me about it every few days (they don't really keep up to date on forum chatter, so I'm basically their gaming news source lol).

Any final guesses what they could be teasing from all of you and what do you want?
I personally think it's the AI-upscaling they first talked about in 2018 and we haven't heard much about since. The "higher" reference is in reference to resolution. Sunset Overdrive was teased and is the perfect game for it. I also don't think there's anything stopping them from combining it with FPS Boost, either. I think Sunset Overdrive is going to 4K/60 on Monday.

More information is available here.

I hope so. I almost started Sunset Overdrive yesterday, but decided to play Genesis Noir because I wanted to hold off if there were any improvements heading its way. Fingers crossed. Would love to play Insomniac's game but not at 900p lol.

Interesting that people are discussing all the recent Phil shelf teases, but no one's talking about this one from earlier in the year.

Yep that's my guess, too. Well resolution increase no less. I dunno about super resolution via ML for BC games. Would be amazing, though.

The technology was originally shown off in Forza Horizon 3, so I would imagine they at least have the ability to apply it to Xbox One games.
The results in stills looks impressive from the 2018 SIGGRAPH demo, but the performance was pretty rough. Looked like it halved the FPS when toggled on.

Of course, that was in 2018, etc, etc. I just hope it's performant enough while executing on the GPU to be worth enabling.

I feel like it's super early 2022 so Halo can breath.
If Starfield is ready, they aren't going to delay it for the sake of Halo. Bethesda likes releasing games in the Fall, close to the GOTY season. They aren't going to like having the game delayed to early next year, which will likely significantly lower its chances for GOTY, considering how many other big games will be releasing later in 2022. Microsoft would be stupid to do it when Starfield is the best chance they got to finally have a GOTY first party game.

Besides, if Halo needs a breathing room from a new IP (which is a single-player game in another genre) to be successful, then it has bigger problems.
