no idea who this is, so could be absolute nonsense. (So not going to make a thread, especially not about a tweet)

But apparently SMTV is coming to game pass.

I personally hope it gets a hard copy release if it does get a Xbox release, so I can have it on my shelf :)

Does anyone see the discounted price for the Outer Worlds? It asks me to pay €50 even though I own the game + dlc.

Well, apparently it's an upgrade. It shows up as dlc for the original game? It thought this was a seperate sku.

Can anyone explain if its possible to buy a game from a different region on Series X?
I have a buddy in the UK who wants to buy Battle Garegga but its only available in the US and Japan I think.

What would be the steps to buy it without getting your account banned?

Yes, it is possible.

Depending on the store / country you need to buy gift cards and need a VPN to redeem/buy.

AFAIK so far nobody was banned for this.

You can even use your main account.

Here is a pretty good site for buying from different stores
https://www.xbox-now.com




BTW:
Is the store down?

So far some first impressions; Forza Horizon 5 looks stunning! It's like a mix of PGR and Burnout so I am having a lot of fun with it. Another game I downloaded asap was HALO. It's fun to get back into that universe, I haven't been playing HALO since 3 because that was the last time I had an xbox console. The only big difference between the two consoles I can argue about is, downloading the game on XBOX is so damn SLOW compared to PS5. On PS I am playing a game and having another download in the background...in like 90 mins max everything has been updated but on xbox it takes 4-5 full hours.

Either way Im really enjoying it and Gamepass Ultimate, the main reason why I took it. Looking forward to Gears 5, High on Life, Flight Simulator, Forza Motorsport, Starfield etc.

You have to make sure you don’t have any games in quick resume. In the Xbox menu (click the Xbox button) there’s a pins tab, move quick resume to the top, think you press start on it. Thus way you’ll always know what games you have open in the background. Helps download speed tremendously.

It's not having games in Quick Resume, it's just having an active game that limits downloads speed to 30 Mb/s.

AeonGaidenRaiden AeonGaidenRaiden If a game is running and you want to force it to suspend, go to the download list and there will be a button there to suspend the active game and not limit download speed.
Also, if a game is not focused (running in background), it will be suspended automatically after 10 minutes or so.

Quick Resume has nothing to do with this, I have many games in QR and can download at full speed as long as there is no active game.
