Hi,

As I explained here a few months ago, for quite some time now, I've been trying to identify the weekly XBOX Free Play Days lineup before the official XBOX Wire announcement.

The goal is simply to give players a chance to start downloading and playing a little earlier (sometimes up to 16 hours before the XBOX Wire post). I also usually try to create a cover image similar to the official one to share the information 🙃

Note: XBOX Free Play Days events usually end on Mondays at 7 PM UTC. Some games are often playable starting on Wednesdays at 11 PM UTC.

Games identified so far (based on my findings)

From now until Monday, July 27, around 7 PM UTC:

• METAL GEAR SOLID - Master Collection Version
• METAL GEAR & METAL GEAR 2: Solid Snake
• Tides of Tomorrow

As always, additional games may still be revealed during the official XBOX announcement later today, as it can be difficult to identify all the selected titles (especially since games that are playable without a subscription are harder to spot)

Which game are you planning to try this weekend?

I’m on my 4th or 5th Elite Series 2 controller. Every single one has eventually had issues with the bumpers either not registering, or they double/trip register with one click.

I just want to hear that they are aware of the issue and are actively working to resolve this issue.

If not, is there a workaround in terms of replacing it on a never-ending warranty loop or something?

Would like your opinion about it.

With the news that backwards compatible games are going to get achievements and playable on PC, I’m looking to purchase more titles. Any games you are interested in picking up on the sale?

Also anyone know if there an easy way to search/filter on store or somewhere else? Google hasn’t been helpful and don’t see anything on store.

Hi!
I am from romania and i dont own an xbox. I made the mistake of buying a dlc key( currency) for xbox( didnt think it would be a difference between pc and xbox). Now that currency is stuck until i own the game.
Now i was wondering how and which country should i use to get a month for my xbox account( i only want to open the game and then i wont even use the game pass anymore).
I said that i am from romania because we only have the pc pass and because we dont have access to xcloud. Or if someone could help with opening that game?
Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I was looking through Game pass and I noticed that all of the dragon age games are on game pass. I played Dragon age origins Wayback, and I was wondering how the process works because they’re all going to be digital to transfer data over. I also saw a lot of bad reviews about the most recent game that came out. I would like to try to beat all of them but overall isn’t worth it and can I transfer data over this way?

I miss the good old days of getting the XOM and getting absolutely hype over games that never actually came to fruition.

I bought this game on XBOX a while back, but despite that, it says I also own the PC version. If you were to download this game on PC from the Microsoft store however, you’d only download a small, unplayable file.

One year of console (PlayStation) exclusivity soon comes to an end. Have I missed any Xbox release gossip or announcements that you have snapped up? It would be a cool game to try out.

I can't find it anywhere online (US). And today, the Seagate page for the card stopped showing an MSRP for the 4TB model.

• Seagate doesn't have it, and their "Where to buy" just links to some retailers that sell some Seagate products. Checked all of them, none of them have it.
• XBOX.com points to Seagate
• Best Buy is out of stock
• Amazon is out of stock
• Newegg is out of stock
• Walmart is out of stock
• Seagate's eBay store is out of stock
• Gamestop doesn't have it listed
• Target doesn't have it listed
• Microcenter doesn't have it listed

If you have a Halo disc for Xbox or PlayStation 5 the evolved campaign works now. After downloading the preload/update, it started running great on my Xbox Series X. It’s also working great on PlayStation 5 Pro for those with discs. No NZ trick just discs are working now.

Getting back into gaming. For the best online multiplayer experiences today, what do you suggest and why? I’m open to anything! Shooters, MMO’s, action rpg’s, adventure, party, puzzle, narrative, etc. thanks!

>As a member of the Special Tactics Group Commando detachment, Dom was trained by Sgt. Bernadette Mataki on combat survival techniques while infiltrating behind enemy lines. He is no stranger to infiltration missions and is often selected for operations deep within UIR-controlled territory. No matter how dangerous the mission, Dom always makes it back on time for Raven extract.

>Pre-order Gears of War: E-Day to unlock the Exfil Dom Character Skin and the Exfil Weapon Set in-game at launch.

>Plus get Early Access to the Open Beta, starting August 6th.

Currently on sale. Reviews seem mixed, but all agree the game has been abandoned on console. Which is a shame
