Dan, it's also available for the PC (Microsoft Store) as well.

F1 2018 coming to PC GamePass. It's been on Xbox GamePass for a while.

I remember you mentioning that awhile ago so maybe it's for the PC but I thought the PC version was only on Steam. Maybe they screwed up and meant F1 2019. :)

If you guys are semi tired of the same old shooters, you might want to try SuperHot. It's a different take on shooters. From the little i've played it's a puzzle based shooter. One hit and you're dead.

Fun game. Definitely unique. My only quibble is that the difficulty climbs like the sheer side of Half Dome in Yosemite after a few scenarios. I enjoy challenge, but I also don't want to risk throwing my controller through my screen.

Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm old. Your mileage hopefully will vary.

Pre-installed it the other day, will try it tonight.

It's Obsidian so it has like a 50% chance of being good out of the box.

I have The Outer Worlds preloaded on my Xbox, excited to try it out because Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas were two of my favorite games. From initial impressions, it appears to be an awesome game! The only thing stopping me from playing it at midnight is that I'll probably be in Modern Warfare which unlocks at 9PM EST.

Reviews are fantastic for Outer Worlds.

It's like a Bethesda type game with smaller maps, more focused story etc.

Honestly anyone who didn't take advantage of the $1 upgrade back at E3 for GPU was a dumb ass.

I will definitely try Outer Worlds. Game Pass would be more enticing if MS did more of these. I'm still leaning on paying for GP once my sub runs out. I've saved a ton of money playing stuff for free I would normally buy, then later regret but I have found a few gems and a few AAA titles.

Honestly, before yesterday I was unaware of this game. Because of game pass, I will actually try this game later tonight. I like the comparisons to Fallout, games that I generally play for a good week or two before the world just becomes too overwhelmingly large. The positive reviews have me excited to play.

Lonely Mountains Downhill is a fun little game on GamePass. Yeah, I'm biased because I'm an avid mountain biker. But it's a fun, challenging way to pass a few minutes. Also dig the art style in the game.

Thanks to Teal for the tip!

What a crazy cool game. Only played for a few minutes, but it's definitely right up my alley. It's a nice friends leaderboard chasing game. Thanks to you and Teal for the tip!

BINGO. I spent about 15 minutes last night chasing Teal's time on first course. Now need to dip below three minutes to pass second beginner challenge!

Haven't played this game f*cked up yet. Maybe I'll try that tonight. We'll see if that adds or subtracts speed! :)

I think you make like this, a podcast I was listening too said it is like Skyrim / Fallout with the gigantic map. In this game you go from planet to planet. You also can't pick up every GD item you see, something I hate about Skyrim. I played an hour and loved it.

I'm not playing it on Game Pass (on the PS4 Pro), but really enjoying Outer Worlds so far.

I've only dabbled in Fallout 4, but from my early impressions with Outer Worlds, it seems to be more welcoming. All of the systems - upgrades, crafting, etc...is nicely laid out and not too cumbersome. Combat seems to be intuitive in my short time with it as well.

The writing and characters have made a huge impact on me already. It's just so well done, with the right amount of humor. I've just picked up my first companion, which looks like a great feature.

While the world itself my not knock your socks off in terms of being a living, breathing, dynamic place (kind of sparse I guess?), once you start talking to people and taking on quests, I think the charm will take hold. Already, I'm so divided on what to think and do about the characters I've met. Can't wait to see where it goes!

Promotion in which Microsoft will extend your GamePass subscription to match Xbox Live subscription into Ultimate package for $1 is back on. Many of us used this smokin' deal to save mega bucks earlier this year:
