Poll: *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

[Mariusz]

I read there have been mystery updates too to some 360 games.

Gears of War 3 updated on my Xbox Series X yesterday.

The halo is the only special edition console I've liked. Looks really nice.

I cant seem to redeem the game add on code included with my Halo elite controller, maybe its because the game isnt out yet.
Anyone else have this issue? I dont even know what it unlocks

 

[Soulja]

Sorry if this has been asked before:

What is currently the best way to get hold of a series X? I'm open to getting the halo infinite edition also.

Using apps such as hot stock so you get direct notifications of when they are in stock.

Time to swap everything over

I'm picking mine up after work, does it look sexy in the flesh?

Yes it does!

Picked my Halo Series X up this morning and it's a dinky piece of kit sitting next to my PS5!

It's a tidy looking wee console, as well!

Got my halo stuff earlier today, just unboxed the controller, seriously nice! First time I've held an Elite controller, feels really well made. Love how the little details match like the charging cable and the case. Time to get the Xbox set up!

And still not a single Project Gotham game

Yeah, I would love to see PGR4 on BC. I always assumed licensing was the problem. Unfortunate.

 

[hyperseven]

Halo Infinite MP available now

 

[ic1male]

Is the FPS boost added to the 4K up-res for the BC games that have it (like Assassin's Creed 1) or an alternative option, I wonder.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Halo Infinite MP available now

Not updated yet….

 

[Mark1989]

Halo Infinite MP available now

Would be if the game would launch, just sits on a blue screen on PC

Xbox Series S does same :/

 

[ic1male]

It's very bittersweet for the backward compatibility update - this is the FINAL one they're doing. Such a shame about Jet Set Radio Future then.

Celebrate 20 years of Xbox with over 70 new Backward Compatible Games - Xbox Wire

It is a shame some of the greats didn't make the final BC list i could name loads.
I'm happy we got such a big list,I really wasn't expecting that.
