So I played cyberpunk when it was on game pass and was gutted when it was removed a month or so ago.

However I have now bought the game and also a ROG Ally and was wondering if anyone knew how to get my old saves so I can continue where I left off

So my GPU is coming to an end Jan '27.

I haven't paid a single £ for game pass as my MS rewards always paid for it... buy am I being g super dumb... is there no way to extend my GPU ahead of my expiry date anymore?

I've saved up around 120k worth of point on ms rewards but do I have to now use that each month for renewal?

Three months ago I took advantage of an offer that said I could get Game Pass for 239 MXN for 12 months, and today I went to pay for it with Microsoft Rewards and it now says I have to pay 339 MXN. What's going on here? Does anyone have an answer?

Picked up a subscription to gamepass this morning after work. I tried to install fallout 76 on my PC. Been wanting to play it again. Am I missing something here? It only shows to play with cloud gaming. Can I install the PC version and just put in my Bethesda account info and get my toon and stuff or did they just completely remove the ability to install it and I gotta use cloud gaming?

I've been up almost 18hrs and have worked 21 days straight. So I'm probably missing something and just overlooked it. But I'm possibly off this weekend and would like to not have wasted my money at least.

I see some stuff saying long term accounts are grandfathered in and others saying these changes are coming next month, both appear to be an xbox sources...

does anyone know exactly how it effects long term subscribers?

I personally mostly just use it to not have to download every single thing I want to check out

So my subscription ended yesterday, and i already knew about changes coming in november to cloud gaming, and i was planning on buying ultimate again just to enjoy the last few days of the month with unlimited hours (i can only play on cloud rn), but then i see that it says the "15 hours/month" already, anyone knows if that limit is already on?

I'm mainly talking games like A Way Out and It Takes Two, but any game works as long as it can be played online.

Just in time for Halloween!

Maybe something for the one who could use it, dunno if they are stackable, but it's cheap for the moment.

Say you subscribe for a big release, but end up spending most of your time on a small game you could have bought cheaply.

In this kind of situation would you still count that as good value because you probably wouldn't have discovered it otherwise? Or would it make you question keeping the subscription?

If it does happen to you, which game has come closest to doing that for you?

I used play multiplayer a bit every few months. Now I've not played any all of 2026 so far. Anyway looking for something to get in for an hour or two, once every week or so and the choices are overwhelming. There's all the Battlefield, Call of Duty, Halo and Gear games and that's just the ones even I know. Then there's coop games like Darktide which might be better for someone who's hardly ever playing competive matches.

Got any advice what to try?

Will the 15 hour cap apply immediately and boot us mid game, or should we track our cloud gaming access accordingly on our own to avoid per hour charges? My husband and I actively use cloud gaming due to storage space limitations on both of our Xbox consoles(Xbox one and Xbox One/s). His Xbox is covered by his Forza and Gta V downloads, and mine is covered by like 13 games or so. Cloud gaming has allowed us to play Forza 6 etc (and well at that!) without downloading it.

Ultimate ran out moving to essential far more suitable for me only played a few games anyways .Which games would you recommend?

I tried the new app for Xbox Game Pass on SteamOS and it works really well!

It's come a long way since it's Battle Royale beginnings. Now it's like a mix between Monster Hunter and Classic Zelda with PvP. Give it a shot, it's been a blast on steam. These guys definitely deserve a fair shake imo.

Hello. I am getting a Series X today. (Been a Sony person since PS1). And I am going to sign up for game pass.

What are the different options for subscriptions, prices, and what does each level get you?

Thank you for your help! I am excited to be joining the Xbox family!
