What should I do? Shift from xbox or stick with it...

Just here to pick your opinion. I own an xbox series s. I first bought it because of the price and had some nostalgia with the xbox die to xbox 360. At that time, I was mostly into kinect. So, I didn't care much for the xbox live and was a kid. Now, I bought xbox series s and wanted to play elden ring with them but now I've to pay some amount every month out of pocket. Just to play with my friends, in the game, which I already bought for a premium price. So, it's almost like I'm paying an emi which never ends unless you go offline. Game passes are getting costlier each day. Right now I'm thinking of buying a gaming laptop. It's costlier but at least I won't be paying this never ending emi and there are no exclusives to xbox unlike Sony. There's no real reason to still stick to xbox.

So, should I make the shift or is there something that I'm not aware of?

Are there any good/decent Free Xbox games on the Microsoft store, apart from the “Top Free” category?

Been finding on and on for other ‘unheard’ or games that aren’t too often found on Xbox. Scrolled thru the same Top Free section to where it’s just the same recurring games. Any recommendations pls? Before I fully consider going on Gamepass, some free stuff would be nice.

Easiest Games to 100% Achievements

What are some games y'all recommend that are relatively easy to get 100% on for achievements. I'm trying to compile a list for a project I plan to start around the New Year. They can be any kind of game, from kids through mature rated. Bonus points if they're on GamePass.

So far I've got:
Donut County
Powerwash Simulator (Easy just time consuming)
Bluey the Videogame
Hogwarts Legacy (Easy just time consuming)
Return to Grace
Little Kitty Big City
Open Roads
Monopoly Plus
Firewatch
Unpacking
The Turing Test
Pneuma: Breath of Life
FH2: Fast and Furious
Deadlight
LA Noire (Easy, just time consuming)

Look forward to your answers! Thanks in advance!

My little brother’s birthday is coming up and I have no clue about Xbox.

Which console do you recommend? He has the original Xbox one but it finally broke after 4 or 5 years. I know he mentioned he wanted to play the new black ops. Any help would be appreciated!

What are the chances of the Galaxy Edition be on sale on Black Friday?

Was planning on getting the galaxy edition, but I’ll have to wait until Black Friday to get one, but since the galaxy edition have just been released, will the Galaxy Edition be on sale at Microsoft and Best Buy during Black Friday too or is it only for the regular series X?

Since when did you HAVE to have GamePass to play games online?

I own this game outright (RDR2) and just wanted to play some RDO after months away. It’s not enough that I have it hooked to internet? This is some pure BS

What are the benefits of expensive controllers for casual gamers?

I am trying to understand what are the benefits of expensive controllers like Elite 2, SCUF Instinct Pro, Razer Wolverine 3, or PowerA FUSION Pro.

Each of them is 3-4 times more expensive than the standard Xbox controller but gives only 4 additional bottom buttons, sometimes Hall effect sticks, and a short trigger time. I am a casual gamer and don't play that many competitive shooter games to break sticks in 6 months (based on my 2 years of usage). So, the question is, would I benefit from more expensive controllers or is it not worth the money spent?

Helldivers but set from ODST perspective in halo universe

Xbox could easily make their own version of Helldivers set in the Halo universe, and instead of automatons and terminids they can have the covenant and the brutes as well as the forerunners.

Just think about it, the principles are all the same. Instead of a hell carrier dropping helldivers. It would be a UNSC ship dropping ODST‘s onto various planets across the galaxy fighting Galactic conflict on the same scale with the covenant and other races.

Just an idea I had, but I want other people’s perspective on it . I feel like it would be a good way for Xbox to get its own exclusive set in one of its most sold franchises.

Xbox GTA V graphical options comparison[PNG]

These pics have been taken at the same time, as seen from clouds positions. In 4K uncompressed.
Each group of 3 has been taken in either Performance, Performance RT or Fidelity settings. For the double blind survey I will not tell which is which, only judge by graphics. Open different tabs for each.
Which pair has the best graphics ?
And yes it was an online lobby some people really have those names lol.

Sometimes you get lucky on macari.

I was able to get a great deal on this. I had this years ago but unfortunately had to sell it and never got to play the game all the way through. As of right now I am playing the suffering and I'm halfway through it. Once this bad boy gets here I will start my journey again in silent Hill.

Xbox Halo Bomb Blast Charity Update

I recently made a bomb blasted effect Halo Orange, which I raffled on a Facebook forum for a prostate charity, after losing a friend.

The aim was to remove build costs but after one entrant took 23 tickets following the death of his uncle for similar reasons, I decided to make the build costs and time, my donation too.

We raised £370 from an upgraded Original Xbox for Prostate Cancer UK which makes me very happy I took the time to do it.

Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Discussion

With the beta of monster hunter wilds coming to a close in the next 24 hours or so, just wanted to know what everyone is thinking of the game. Are you liking the gameplay? Is your xbox running the game well? What do you think of the world? What is your biggest concern? What is your biggest hype factor? Lets talk all about it in the comments!

I loved the demo personally, hunting rey dau felt so energetic and the new combat pacing allowd me to do some cool shit without it feeling clunky.

My biggest concern was the performance tho. It ran terribly on the series s, with constant frame drops and bad pop ins.

Still excited for the full game tho, maybe gonna stay off pre ordering haha.

Is everybody playing cross over?

I don't want to play against PC players because I'm really bad with the controller. The Xbox series x is my first console and I prefer to play only against other Xbox players. But when I turn off cross-over in a game, I can't find matches. Is there anyone here who only plays Xbox multiplayer games?

Looking for group posts?

Why is it that when I look for a group on a game it's like all the groups are just inactive or a scam

Exp I was looking for a group to play minecraft with because I got back into the game after like 3 years of not playing but all the posts are just wasting my time

A other exp is siege where most of the posts are just people wanting to boost them selfs

Do you also struggle with the groups like me or am I just unlucky

PS I would love if xbox could add a feature where I can filter for nations ,I want to have people I can talk to in my language not just English
