And no doubt they'll relaunch their custom controller thing soon too. Whilst with Sony I'm stuck with the white controller that gets dirty very quickly.

The little symbols have started wearing off on mine.

I don’t know why, but I really like the colour. Might grab one for my PC.

My gamepass ultimate ran out yesterday, so does the 1:1 conversion work in Australia still if I register for gold only first.

You get "brute force improvements" with every game. Consider a 1080p, 60 fps title. If it had locked frame rate but dynamic resolution you'll still be at 1080p more often. If it had variable frame rate you'll be hitting 60fps more steadily even during more graphically intensive sections.

And loading time improvements across the board.

The frame rate did seem more solid, which is a nice bonus.

At this stage I only have Series X optimised games on the Series X SSD, and everything else is on an external HDD.

i think the conversion still works but the cost is no longer $1 but increased to $15 (can anyone confirm??). It would still be worf especially if you can stack a few months/years.

I believe it's only $15 if you have previously used the $1 deal.

 

[HirdyLannister]

I don't think the 1:1 conversion works or in Australia atleast, my GPU is expired and I have 12 months of gold.
On the Microsoft webpage I click upgrade and it just says a conversion ratio for days remaining but doesn't give you a figure of what ratio.

Don't know if I should trust it and get another 24 months of gold and lose out big-time or upgrade only 12 months and maybe miss out on three years if it works.

Anyone able to help?

That's all it says for the upgrade.
No mention of exact ratio and the link is no help either.

MLB the show 21 is launching on game pass.

MLB the show 21 is launching on game pass.

Is MLB a Sony first party/exlusive game yeah?

So PS5 players have to pay $70US or Xbox members get it added to gamepass for free

it is, I thought it coming to Xbox was big enough, but being available at launch on game pass is next level.

 

[melbournemartin]

Huge. They are great games. Even if you aren't a baseball fan, I suggest giving it a go.

 

[Spirit Level]

This is causing quite a few melts on the internet.

I've been out of the loop for a whole generation but I find it hilarious how people back certain brands blindly.
I did laugh when I saw this on the net this morning.

 

[Spirit Level]

I don't get the mindset of complaining when "exclusives" make their way to other platforms.

It's a childish "I don't want you to have what I have" way of thinking.

 

[Lynchy04]

Yeah MLB the show on game pass is massive!

Great games, looking forward to it.
