Been staring at my screen for like 30 mins deciding what to play but most games just don’t hit the same someone recommend me something
Hey all, Canadian here. Seeing as Xbox's digital storefront has abandoned the yearly subscription option, I've been eyeing up CDKeys, which offers a full year for a far lesser sum than Microsoft currently offers. Can anyone validate this site or provide anecdotal information regarding purchases? (ie. did the codes work, or if not, was the refund process efficient)
Thanks in advance
Next month, physical copies of xbox 360 games will officially no longer be sold in stores. I am momentarily depressed.
I am confused which to start with on my Series S, I need just one warzone game to download so I need y'all opinion 😅
Seriously what the hell? 3mb/s!!
I’m having this reoccurring issue where I’m at work wishing I could play a game and then when I get home I have a hard time deciding what to play or loose motivation for that specific game that I had in mind earlier in the day.
Currently games I’ve been playing in no particular order:
Cyberpunk 2077 GTA V Story MLB The Show Starfield* I may or may not be getting back into. I can play it on my ROG Ally so I’m trying to save it for when I travel for work and don’t have my Xbox.
I have plenty of other games beyond what’s listed but those are the current usual suspects.
How do you choose a game when you have Netflix/gamepass syndrome?
WE NEED ULTRA-WIDE MONITOR SUPPORT, ON BOTH XBOX AND XCLOUD!
Its 2024 bigger monitors exist now :)
Thinking of upgrading my system from a One to an X, if their Project Brooklin console really will be all-digital.
Edit: In Canada, if it makes a difference.
I am curious what about the old 360 and OG Xbox games were not possible to put as natively backwards compatible with the new gens of Xbox. I know they tout the whole backwards compatibility as a plus with them (and it definitely is, I love being able to access a lot of my old stuff) but why not make it natively backwards compatible? I genuinely don’t know, I assume there is a technical aspect and/or legal/business aspect that kept them from using this approach. What are y’all’s thoughts?
I just want to know if there are any good evolution games on the Xbox
i found an Xbox 360 for $50 on FB Marketplace and i was interested bc my old Xbox 360 i had since i was 7 was found and lost again so i figured why not bc of the price but i was thinking i already have the Xbox Series X which can already play Xbox 360 Titles so i came here to find out what features i could get out of the Xbox 360 that i can't do on the XBSX
also i have sum emulators on my PC that work great too! Xenia is questionable at times but RPCS3 seems to work extremly well so final thoughts: Would A Xbox 360 Be Worth it In 2024 for me?
Readers, subscribers, and friends of Xbox on Reddit:
Effective immediately, r/Xbox is implementing new subreddit rules. The new sub rules are essentially a revised version of the rules already in place in r/XboxSeriesX and r/XboxOne. The full rules text is shown at the bottom of this post, and can also be viewed at any time in mobile apps under "Learn more about this community / Community Info" and also in the sidebar for desktop web browser users.
The biggest rules changes that will affect everyone here are:
No Tech Support posts, or 'What to buy?' or 'Help me decide' posts. These posts and questions will be removed and the poster referred to r/XboxSupport or the Microsoft official support channels.
All posts must be properly flaired.
Sundays are now open 'Community Days' for posting achievements, fan art, showing off your setups, collections, etc.
To enforce the new r/Xbox rules, we have added a number of experienced Reddit moderators who are also Xbox users themselves. Welcome aboard guys!
If you like helping other Xbox users with their support issues, then please consider joining r/XboxSupport as these types of posts will no longer show up here in r/Xbox.
That's all for now. Hopefully this all goes smoothly :) and leads to a better overall Reddit community.

I currently use a cord, but it's a bit messy and would prefer to be cordless. Wondering what the easiest (meaning I won't forget to do it), most cost efficient way to use battery: 1) Xbox charge and play 2) remove and replace rechargeable batteries 3) use non-xbox charging station 4) another way (please specify)!
Thanks!
My question is, if I try making videos about achievement hunting, like "I 100%'d jump king" should I show my face for these kinds of videos? (Especially because I'm a minor)
Guys I want to buy a new console, but i don’t know which one is the most convenient to buy. For reference, I have a lot of digital game (for tue xbox one) and the game i want the most to play are: F1, Jurassic World evolution 2 and planet zoo. Also my TV don’t support the 4k
