Homefront: The Revolution is discounted huge on the Xbox Marketplace. Save on DLC, customization packs, and more but you had better do it quick!
Eleven games from the original Xbox were added to the old marketplace, including some Rockstar classics like Max Payne, Manhunt and Red Dead Revolver.
It's pretty clear at this point that Xbox are about to drop a bunch of new backwards compatible games for the 20th anniversary.
Microsoft has launched the Xbox Store Ultimate Game Sale (Summer Sale) and there are over 700 games discounted. Here's the full list.
Xbox has no games is a phrase I hear frequently on this website. There are some incredible games on sale right now. Some of last Jen's finest exclusives can be had super cheap. A lot of them also on Game Pass yes but if you want to own a digital copy now's the time. Sunset Overdrive deluxe version for $7.50. Quantum break for $10. Forza Horizon 4 ultimate for 44. Gears 5 game of the year for 25 the Ori games for 17. Just right there there's a lot of games and most of them feature all the DLC. I highly advise Playstation only gamers to at least pick up a series s and check out some of these games. I think Playstation only gamers are missing out by not playing these particular titles. Particularly Sunset Overdrive. That is insomniac's most original title and probably the second best game they've ever made!
Overwatch for $14.99 is a good deal. OW2 is on the way but there is no real timeline at the moment so you’d certainly get your money’s worth if you haven’t already purchased.
Xbox Series X's FPS Boost is game-changing when it works and disappointing when it doesn't. While frame rates are often consistent, many titles make concerning sacrifices. This lost compiles 20 FPS Boost games that make major sacrifices, detailing their drawbacks.
As someone with the Series S, it makes more of an impact there than on the X. From what i have seen, if the game already supported One X enhancements, then its best to just let it be on the Series X.
Great to have options I’ve gone back to playing dragon age inquisition and it runs superbly. Good article though detailing differences.
Wow, these downplaying articles are rife this week in the lead up to E3.
Funny how it is only this week these articles are surfacing, even though we knew about Series X not running upgrades from Xbox One X BC games months ago. As per article :-
"If a game doesn't run at a stable performance level, the Microsoft backwards-compatibility team can't adjust game settings or resolution to best reach the target frame rate."
Well yeah, you can not change some other developers game code, only they can enhance their own game via next-gen patches.
There is even one now on how Gamepass for PC is "broken".
Wonder what we will see next? We have had Xbox not making any money on any console ever, gamepass for PC is broken, FPS boost has lackluster upgrades, xbox division is being ran in the red at a consistent loss, gamepass has never been profitable, all in the lead up to Xbox and Bethesda's E3 showing.
Funny times, roll on E3 for me, can't wait.
In short :-
All 20 games on the list, are running at Xbox One resolution with FPS boost enabled, instead of the Xbox One X enhanced versions resolution.
This is a known issue, even when running the same games through the BC program.
